Odd One Out

Odd One Out is a Helsinki-based record label run by the Finnish producer and DJ Yotto. The label’s identity is closely tied to Yotto’s musical world, with a focus on melodic electronic music that sits in the orbit of contemporary house and progressive-leaning club sounds.

Its roster reflects that aesthetic through a mix of Yotto’s own output and releases from artists whose work aligns with the label’s emotive, melody-forward approach. Alongside Yotto, the label has featured music by Nathan Trace, notjustmalo, SØNIN, and Raiku, as well as established electronic acts such as Booka Shade and Franky Wah. AunA has also appeared among the artists associated with the label’s releases.

Odd One Out’s profile is shaped less by a single genre tag than by a consistent curatorial thread: polished production, club-ready structures, and a preference for atmospheric hooks and extended, evolving arrangements. With Yotto at the helm, the label functions as both an outlet for his broader musical circle and a platform for like-minded producers, linking Helsinki to a wider international network of melodic dance music.
