Finnish producer and DJ Yotto makes driving, slightly dramatic progressive house with a pop sensibility. After earning support from Above Beyond and Pete Tong and remixing songs by Coldplay and Gorillaz, he released his debut full-length, Hyperfall, in 2018. He's continued issuing yearning, vocal-driven collaborations as well as more club-focused instrumental releases such as 2021's Songs You Might Remember from Some Parties.

Otto Yliperttula took classical piano lessons as a child, and later got into hip-hop and metal as a teenager, when he was involved with skateboard culture. He began his musical career as part of the Helsinki-based progressive house duo Something Good, who released their debut single, "Loop"/"Hanko," on Silk Royal Records in 2009, and continued issuing melodic, upbeat material on labels like Nellie Recordings and Nocturnal Groove. Although Yliperttula had done a few remixes under the name Yotto since his career began, he made his official solo debut with the 2014 single "All I Want"/"Cycle." He then signed to the Above Beyond-affiliated Anjunadeep imprint and released the smooth but suspenseful "Memento"/"Azzurro," which received BBC Radio 1 airplay from Pete Tong. The vocal-driven Wondering EP (featuring Yotto's brother, Caps) appeared soon after, and the producer continued frequently issuing material through Anjunadeep, additionally remixing songs by artists like Coldplay, Röyksopp, Gorillaz, and Lane 8.

Yotto's debut album, Hyperfall, arrived in 2018, with guests including Sønin, Vök, and Caps. Hyperfall (Remixed) followed in 2019, and Yotto launched his Odd One Out label (named after a track from Hyperfall) with singles like "Shifter" and "Nova." Solo singles as well as collaborations with artists like Lane 8 and Cassian continued to appear, and the EP Songs You Might Remember from Some Parties was issued in 2021. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi
