Otto Yliperttula, born in helsinki and still there. his bandcamp bio, in full, reads: i make music. mostly with a kick drum.

anjunadeep broke him. Memento / Azzurro was his debut for the label in may 2015 and the album Hyperfall followed in september 2018. in 2019 he started Odd One Out and released his own Shifter as its first record. the label is now past its eightieth catalogue number and has become his main home, though the anjunadeep relationship never ended, and Love Shop came out there in may 2025.

the second album Growth arrived in february 2023. then in late 2025 he turned the wheel: the Anti 01 and ANTI 02 eps traded melodic peak time for darker, more hypnotic progressive techno, the sort of thing that works in a room with the lights off. Songs You Might Remember From Some Parties v3 followed in april 2026, and Deep Dive with the vocalist dakota came out on 31 july 2026.

his biggest track is not under this name at all. Something Good is his duo with karolus viitala, and their rework of corona's Rhythm (Of The Night), out on armada in october 2022, has more streams than anything in the yotto catalogue. he has also remixed elderbrook, vintage culture and rufus du sol, all further up this page, plus coldplay and orbital.

I reached a point where I became very comfortable with my own sound and wanted to create a new platform for music that I make, music that I love and music that I feel people should hear.
