Y-OTIS — Jazz Quartet

Led by Swedish saxophonist Otis Sandsjö, Berlin-based quartet Y‑OTIS blends jazz, hip‑hop and electronic textures into a hybrid sound. Looping melodic motifs and fragmented structures collide with deep basslines and shimmering synth layers, creating an ever-shifting musical mosaic. On stage the four musicians favour open, conversational interplay and a driving groove, alternating between introspective textures and propulsive group improvisation to generate a warm, kinetic atmosphere that invites attentive listening and physical response.
