Yotto

Musical influences The son of musically inclined parents and the sibling of a vocalist, Yliperttula grew up in a musical family. He started taking classical piano lessons as a young child and played regularly until the age of 14. As a teenager, skateboard culture influenced a wide range of personal preferences for West Coast hip hop music, and heavy metal

Career When starting up his career within electronic music, Otto was initially a part of a Helsinki-based melodic deep house duo called "Something Good," together with Karolus Viitala. As a solo act, Otto, or Yotto, officially joined the Anjunadeep roster with his debut release "Memento" / "Azzurro" in 2015. His debut release on the label included a two track EP. "Memento" has been described as an atmospheric opener to the EP with bass-driven precision. by BBC radio host, Pete Tong, and a bustling track with a chilling piano line and a dramatic crescendo by Dancing Astronaut.

Yliperttula followed up his debut release with a second EP, titled Wondering in August 2015. The EP includes three tracks; "Wondering," "Slowly," and "Coming Back to You." In an interview with Urb magazine, Yotto explained, "The EP was built from these tracks, as they all seem to share a stress-free vibe." The release was his third Anjunadeep release, and his fourth on the year. Pete Tong selected "Personal Space" as Essential New Tune on his BBC Radio 1 show on November 20, 2015.

In early 2016, Yotto was named an "Artist to Watch" in 2016 by the electronic music blog LessThan3. On January 15, 2016, Yliperttula released an official remix of "Like an Animal" by Rüfüs on Sweat It Out Records. The track was premiered by Hunger TV and garnered his second Essential New Tune accolade by BBC Radio 1 DJ Pete Tong on his weekly radio show. It has been described as adding tension to the original through a minimalist approach.

Halfway through his U.S. tour in 2015, Yliperttula received a request to remix Coldplay's feature track, "Adventure of a Lifetime," from their 2016 album A Head Full of Dreams. The remix premiered twice; first by radio on Above & Beyond's Group Therapy Radio show and then exclusively

April saw the release of Yotto's first original productions of 2016, with "Aviate" and "Crosswalk" released as a two track EP on Anjunadeep. "Aviate" earned yet another Essential New Tune selection for Yotto, marking his third in less than six months. Then in June, Yotto released arguably his most successful track to date, "The Owls." Picking up his fourth Essential New Tune selection on Pete Tong's BBC Radio 1 show and also named "Hottest Record in the World" by Annie Mac, "The Owls" was premiered by Mixmag who called it "another staple addition to Yotto's defined, formidable sound."

In November 2016, Yotto released "Fire Walk," a track he had debuted at Above & Beyond's ABGT 200 show in Amsterdam. "Fire Walk" gained the support of Pete Tong, Annie Mac, and Danny Howard who called the track "A stonewall banger." Soon after the track premiered on BBC, it climbed the Beatport charts to become No. 1, and the track was supported by Paul Oakenfold, Cosmic Gate, Steve Angello, and Markus Schulz.

Yotto continued his heavy touring schedule in 2017 with performances at ABGT250, Electric Zoo, Spring Awakening, Coachella, and Hï Ibiza supporting Eric Prydz.

Yotto's track "Song from the Sun" was also featured in the Netflix original movie XOXO.

His first BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix debuted on January 27, 2018. His debut album Hyperfall was released later that year through Anjunadeep on September 7, 2018. Growth (2023)
