EIGHT-TRACK LP TRACES THE PORTUGAL-BORN ARTIST’S LIFE FROM LISBON TO LONDON TO SOUTH AMERICA
LEAD SINGLE “PULSO.” OUT NOW via ØTTA’S LABEL HOTTIES
Buy/Stream: ØTTA – PULSO.
JUNE 24, 2026—Portugal-born artist ØTTA announces her long-awaited debut album PELE DE MAR, out via her own label and global party brand HOTTIES. Alongside the announcement, she shares new single “PULSO,” one of the album’s most euphoric moments.
PELE DE MAR is a selection of borderless, club-ready expressions that fully displays ØTTA’s evolution as an artist, producer, DJ, and musician as a whole over the last decade. The album is centered around the cherished memories and experiences that shaped her, charting a course through ØTTA’s life that begins in Lisbon, where she was born, and extends through the sounds, places, and relationships that formed her identity both as a human being and as an artist.
The title does not have an exact translation into English, but might be best understood as describing the surface, or skin, of the sea; in ØTTA’s case, it imagines that the oceans themselves have become her skin.
PELE DE MAR Tracklist:
1. ØTTA – RIO
2. ØTTA – GATA FINA feat. FIAH
3. ØTTA – PULSO.
4. ØTTA – REBOLA DE SALTO feat. LUA DE SANTANA
5. ØTTA – 4X4 feat. BIBI BABYDOLL
6. ØTTA – FRIO
7. ØTTA – THAT SNACK
8. ØTTA – SAUDADE
Lead single “PULSO.,” out now, combines the various influences that shaped ØTTA over the years, from sensual house and Latin rhythms to the bass-heavy grooves she became fixated on while living in London. It is a spike of joy that bundles sugar-sweet nostalgia with influences that feel organic and wholesome. The album also features “RIO,” a love letter to Rio de Janeiro, the Paris-inspired introspection of “THAT SNACK,” the liberating intensity of London on “FRIO,” and collaborations with Bibi Babydoll, Lua De Santana, and Fiah Miau.
Before ØTTA broke through with her high-energy debut Plus One EP in 2020, music and art had been a constant thread throughout her life. She spent six years playing in an orchestra, later studying art and architecture, absorbing a language of symmetry, repetition, and structure that continues to define her approach. That instinct has carried through her breakout Boiler Room performance in Manchester and into HOTTIES, the label and event series she established to foster creativity in her community.
PELE DE MAR tells a story not just of ØTTA’s 12 years as a musician, but of her life until now: the places, people, and relationships that shaped her, and the layered experiences that make each person one of a kind. And if she has learned anything along the way, it is that the best way to be unique is to truly embrace yourself.
PELE DE MAR is out this fall. “PULSO.” is out now.
