Ottagone

Making his Dekmantel debut, Ottagone brings techno finesse of the highest order. Stripping the genre back to its purest elements, the project is a masterclass in repetition, tension, and subtle transformation, finding power in hypnotic loops, deep analogue textures, and carefully controlled momentum. Operating across a constellation of aliases, projects and labels — including Vorm In Geluid, Yaleesa Hall and Frits Wenintk — S. Mensink has spent years exploring the outer edges of contemporary club music. Through the self-titled series on the Will & Ink orbit, he has quietly become a cult favourite, developing a distinctive sound that feels both precise and unstable, balancing mechanical groove with moments of gradual dissolution. Whether behind the decks or in the studio, Ottagone favours patience over spectacle, building immersive long-form excursions that are purposeful, cohesive, and irresistibly rhythmic.
