“I definitely want people to feel something. The music I make tends to be very emotive and that is important to me. I think we moved into a situation where electronic music lost a lot of soul and meaning. I wanted my contributions to bring that back and also really test the musicality that’s available for us,” Otto declared in an interview with Mix 247 EDM.
