Oter is one 27 year old Stian Ottesen from Tromsø. Oter has been part of the so called hip-hop underground for years now. Originally as the driving force behind Oslo-based studio / collective Cracklab alongside such luminaries as Svartepetter, Herreløse, OnklP amongst others. Almost three years ago now though, he moved back to his home town of Tromsø in the North of Norway. As chance would have it one of his contemporaries, Poppa Lars of Tungtvann fame moved at the same time and the pair have been working together ever since. The results are striking, creating some of the best hip-hop to ever come out of Norway. In danger of laying waste to all that has gone before, this is next level shit. In October 2011 their debut proper was released, the single “Karusell”, produced by Bergen based electro act Souldrop. The released was launched with an explosive video directed by Carl Critical, an insight into the murky psyche of Oter, ex-hitmen, armed robbers, Russian coke, mental institutions, violent flashbacks, a disasterous killing and not least a rather sexy nurse. See it in full at the NORDalliansen.org website. The album, with the working title “Kollektiv Kollaps” is expected to be finished in the coming year. Over the past year or so Oter has played at Døgnvillfestivalen 2010, Parkenfestivalen in Bodø (2010), Sparebanken Nord-Norge’s 175 year jubilee, Rock Against Drugs in Andenes and opened for Yelawolf in Oslo and Xzibit / DJ Quik in Tromsø, played alongside Lars Vaular and A-Laget as well as a bunch of his own gigs. On stage the duo often are joined by Klisne Fingra, who’s also originally from Tromsø byt now resident in Oslo. Their gig at by:Larm will be an unprecedented, explosive show.
