Comments: The promoter says: "Holed up in various basements across Fort Collins, Colorado, Otem Rellik (Toby Hendricks) has made the best of badly-lit recorded spaces with dusty floors and creaking ceilings. With a never-ending list of influences, Otem's music, though rooted in hip hop, resonates with a wide spectrum of musical appetites. Whether harmonizing a powerful chorus or spilling out rough, sometimes guttural raps, Rellik's regard for poetic lyricism is underscored by humbling and translucent honesty. Otem stands mastermind on stage behind a hollowed-out suitcase full of mostly-homemade electronic gizmos, involuntarily forced through a series of pedals and mixers."
