Øtta has announced her new EP, ‘In My Era’.
Set for release on September 20, its four tracks are a rather full-throttle affair, harnessing the DJ and producer’s roots by blending driving techno with Brazilian trance.

With a complex explosive opener, of particular note is track two ‘Front 2 The Back’ which delves into a fusion of soundscapes, emphasising Brazilian funk elements with nifty drum patterns and playful vocal chants.
Elsewhere, the EP’s penultimate cut ramps up the ante with a quivering bassline complementing a bold and unapologetic vocal, whilst ‘Voce de 4’ brings the body of work to its end in a crescendo-like manner, combining techno, bass and more Brazilian funk rhythms.
“’In My Era’ is really about bringing the feeling of summer everywhere – MY era is all about feeling the incredible vibes of music,” she explains on the record. “I’ve been changing my style of techno for the past four years; I love pushing this fun, juicy, spicy vibe in the space and these tracks are a testament to that.
“I’m not just starting my new era, I’m in it and I’m owning it. I know you’re going to love this one – so have a kiki, do a twerk and bounce to these tracks all night long.”
