From the heart of Brussels, multidisciplinary artist OTON unveils his latest enigmatic EP through his home label, Alliance. Pulling one in with swampy synths and atmospheric pads, Aurora offers a textured, futuristic sound that lingers.
OTON is a multidisciplinary artist with a background as a DJ, producer, live performer, and music engineer. Based in Brussels, he channels his creative vision through Alliance Club, a label and event series he co-founded with former bandmates and multi-instrumentalists. With a DIY ethos at heart and a strong community spirit, Alliance spotlights emerging talent and serves as OTON’s platform to shape and uplift the local scene.
With constant mutation at its core, the Aurora EP reflects OTON's reconnection to live production, blending modular synthesis with influences from his band roots and psychedelic techno. Produced entirely using a hardware-only setup, the project marks a shift toward analogue workflows, forging a new sonic direction by freely producing through the physicality of cables, knobs, and the hum of crafted circuits.
Minimal Collective’s premiere track, Full Reset, delivers gurgling synthesisers and a murky bassline that weave through leathery drums. It’s a gripping fusion of deep trance and euphoria, giving a taste of what’s to come from OTON.
