About
Welcome to the Lounge Sound Project, designed to provide a platform for me to showcase my lounge sets.
For me lounge music is a blend of downtempo and midtempo styles that include trip hop, nujazz, nusoul, breaks, bossa and other world beats. These sets often flow into deep and soulful house music, which I see as a natural extension to my lounge music, especially if it is part of a warm-up set.
The music is designed to be a backdrop to life. Music for smoke and seduction, a counter measure to cold city life. Enjoy it with friends, cocktails, sundowners or in front of the fire. This is music for lounging, music for chilling out too.
I hope you will enjoy what I have blended together. In the near future I hope to be able to share my love for lounge in a bar or lounge near you. But for now, I invite you to download, press play, kick back and relax!
Bio
Otto has been djing for over 20 years, with a focus on lounge and deep house for the past 12 years.
In 2002 Otto joined up with Adman to form Jamjar (www.jamjarsessions.net). Jamjar is best described as a project. Otto and Adman have been exploring many ways of entertaining people. Trying to find ways of mixing the music they find interesting with venues, ideas and additional elements that would take the crowd to a space that they don’t find by going to your average club.
Otto’s House sets moves seamlessly from mid-tempo beats to more up-tempo Deep and Soulful and Deep Tech House. His Lounge sets incorporate trip hop, breaks, bossa and nu-jazz sounds with the odd rare groove in between.
