Otis is the founder of Slagwerk, a Brussels-based label notorious for their parties, bringing together the ever-surprising stretches of contemporary music – its history includes James Ferraro, Amnesia Scanner, Crystallmess, Oli XL, Varg2TM, Sky h1 and Vegyn. – and a delight in the many faces of club, never disconnected from the families it fosters.
That partying is not something one should take lightly, understands Slagwerk like no other, showing that only in its experimental and dynamic embrace one can escape both nightlife’s over-intellectualizing and too- trivializing impulses.
At Slagwerk, and so too in Otis’ continuous escapades as a DJ, the trivial is never just banal, the poppy never just popular, but the cutting-edge never turns pose either. In Otis’ sets, rigid conceptions of music are left aside, cul-de-sacs explored conditionally through humor, affect and instinct alike. Staying true to the thrill and shuffled spirit of online musical discovery, sound and songs connect and disconnect, flow and disrupt, genres are exploited and transgressed, melody seduced
and swept.
Come party with Otis at Post Bar on Wednesday, 13.05.

OTIS B2B JULIETTA FERRARI — AFTER MOFO à @stationgaredesmines
C’est le rendez-vous entre deux curateur.ice.s et artistes qui dictent le tempo de l’underground européen: @oti_s_ , aux commandes du label bruxellois @slagwerk_ , s’allie à @c_d_light , tête pensante de @drakisbarcelona à Barcelone. Ce B2B est avant tout une histoire de connexion entre deux scènes qui se ressemblent, un pont direct entre Bruxelles et Barcelone pour une soirée à Paris. Entre sélections pointues et échanges de tracks instinctifs, iels se livrent à un ping-pong sonore qui efface les frontières géographiques: une collaboration évidente pour deux explorateur.ice.s de sons qui préfèrent construire des réseaux plutôt que des barrières.
