Otim – “Flip Dat”

North London producer Otim’s debut single “Flip Dat” is a confident first step into a sound that feels completely his own. It’s not overproduced or showy. It’s thoughtful, layered, and sounds like someone who knows exactly what they want their music to say.

There’s a lot going on, but none of it feels random. You can hear the UK Garage influence right away with those shuffling drums and uneven rhythms. The DJ Dellish influence makes sense too. You can hear that connection to club sounds from both the UK and the States, and Otim blends it all in a way that feels lived-in, not borrowed.

What really stands out is how the track flows. The beat is always changing, and even with the little changes and surprises, it keeps a steady rhythm. There is a relaxed energy that draws you in naturally. It sounds like Otim is making music from real experience, not just copying others. It feels personal but not overdone, and the mood stays strong the whole time. If you want to know what’s coming up in 2025, you should follow Otim.
