Y-OTIS

When Otis Sandsjö – the initiator of Y-OTIS – left his native Sweden to move to Berlin, he brought with him his liquid jazz that transcends genres and moves forward.

Accompanied by bassist and producer Petter Eldh (Koma Saxo) and drummer Jamie Peet, Y-OTIS creates a mosaic of sound that effortlessly combines micro-ambiences of hip-hop, electronica and jazz to form a complex web of sound. Hypnotic saxophone riffs and a fragmented jazz style create strong melodies and fluid funk rhythms.

After an acclaimed self-titled debut album in 2018, Y-OTIS confirmed their talent and originality in 2020 with Y-OTIS 2, released on the prestigious Helsinki-based label We Jazz Records.
