Ott (born 1968) is a British record producer and musician who has worked with Sinéad O'Connor, Embrace, the Orb, and Brian Eno, and has achieved recognition since 2002 for his own psychedelic dub tracks and his collaborations with Simon Posford (Hallucinogen / Shpongle).[1] He has released two albums on Twisted Records: Blumenkraft (2003), Skylon (2008), and four albums on Ottsonic: Mir (2011), Fairchildren (2015), Heads (2022) and Hiraeth (2024).

Career

[edit]

Since the early 2000s, Ott has produced, mixed and recorded music released on Twisted Records, including various collaborations with founder Simon Posford. His first major contribution to Twisted was the record Hallucinogen – In Dub, on which he remixed six classic Hallucinogen songs.[2] In May 2003 he released his own album, Blumenkraft, on Twisted;[3] it was reviewed by The Wire.[4] His work has also been featured in releases from the record label Liquid Sound Design (now known as Liquid Sound, run by Martin Glover), especially those compilations produced by Humphrey Bacchus during his time at the label. He followed up his debut album in January 2008 with Skylon, followed by Mir in March 2011.[5]

Ott performed at the Glastonbury Festival in 2007.[6] His performance at Glade Festival in 2011 was described as "the perfect opening act" in an article at Virtual Festivals.[7] That publication also called Ott a "psy-dub maestro" and gave his performance a full 10/10.[8]

He has also contributed to several other records on Twisted as well as other labels.
