ealier support by chloe, giles smith and karotte. maik loewen was already infected by musiccalitis in early years. and there was also his increasing fascination for beats. it did not take long till he started playing the drums and synthesizer. with the tb 303 being one of his first instruments he immediately became addicted to electronic sounds and became quite skilled in using these new devices in his own productions. during his apprenticeship at the recording studios he produced his first tracks. at the same time he started his collaboration with oliver hacke and gabriel ananda. they supported him to get his first record deals. following his first releases on tonsport >arnika ep<, karmarouge >mezcal ep< and trapez >one year one month< and remix projects for walter dahn und jorge gebauhr, his latest ep on poikerflat >even if you sleep<, maik finally appears on karmarouge: the >backcountry camping ep<. his deep understanding for functional sounds and extremly pumping beats, combined with the right mixture of genius and insanity, enables mike to playfully produce upfront club-compatible music. >i dont like musical restrictions, what counts is the feeling of the moment, expressed in acoustic waves<. a perfect mixture that metamorphoses the dancefloor into a seething gladiators arena and wich become one of this genius minimal techno anthems who seems to fly higher more and more. not to forget the huge portion of groovy funkiness. the three tracks on the ep nicely explore different nuances of maik loewens present sound

this third release is finally lead by its mastermind monsieur claude monnet.the pioneer of ethnic and exotic contaminations creates a sort of bridge between ancestral hypnosis of african tribal movements, haitian voodoo incantation and the third millennium dancefloors. a strong cascade of rhythm modulated by a deep and vibrant drum framing a mysterious dialog between an imaginary witch doctor and a persuasive feminine voice and bringing the listener in a state of trance able to carry body and mind away. monnets lesson sounds highly clear, few elements developed with masterful creativity and an unconventional dealing of music composition make at its best the real essence of house music. firmly balearic approach

off-key limited is a new subsidiary label of off-key industries whose aim is to give exposure to new artists alongside established producers and to bring a wider range of genres with less of a focus on the dancefloor. each release will be strictly limited and will not be repressed. we start by raiding the off-key vaults to unleash a series of releases entitled >the dust off<, featuring material written in the off-key studio over the years by matt o brien and various collaborators and associates. matt kicks off the ep with >a new page turns<, a bangin dubby detroit techhouse cut driven by a low slung rhythm and analog stabs dripping in reverb, overlayed with a melodica riff which calls to mind the smokey refrains of augustus pablo. next up is >untitled< by newcomer mat gates, a beatless slice of electronica whose understated melodies conjure up thoughts of late summer evenings of times gone by. on the flip, o brien and gates combine under the artist name kimble to bring you >epiphany<, led by a shimmering melody underpinned with haunting strings which combine to form an electro track of rare beauty. this diverse ep is completed with mat gates second contribution, >in a hole<, a drum n bass track with a disjointed, skeletal rhythm, sub bass drops and fragile, melancholy melody.

>read my mind< is the first full-on vocal track to actually be released by metro area (they had amassed a small catalog of unreleased vocal tracks since starting the project). featuring the incredible pipes of philip owusu (of ubiquity records owusu & hannibal), >read my mind< is a dynamic boogie romp full of contrast: sweet yet meloncholy, warm yet raw. it hearkens back to the days where songwriting and arrangement still had a place in dance music and we hope youll love it. and for the beat purists, theres an irresistible >rmm special dub< version - perfect for doubles! flipping to the b-side yields >erodyne<- an incredible space-disco epic that rocks time and space, looking forward with angular arpeggiated riffs and futurist moods while anchored by an undeniably d.i.s.c.o. groove. check out metro area 7 and be transported - hot music, built to last!

its almost 4 years to the day that jeff samuels >throatwobbler mangrove ep< was released on karloff #03, and even today the four world hits of the record are getting digged out by djs, when the minimalism needs to either groove or jack again. so now with >return of the throatwobbler< theres finally an appropriate follow-up by the man from seattle.. erm.. berlin, after he’s impressively run riot in the meantime, on labels like spectral, trapez, poker flat, frankie and logistic. the a-side >terso< is shuffling and twirling and bouncing in such a winsome way that not many can master like jeff samuel. almost like an electric ray - left and right and left, and without letting any tempting gimmicks take the mind off the straight path. appropriately enough, >the spook< on the b-side comes along a bit more spookily, with a bassline twisting into the brain, ripped up by miniatures of bleeps and chords just in the right moments, and thus leading the track to an agile, exhilarated climax

>after his very well acclaimed debut on orphanear with >jujuy&salta< and his impelling and chartbreaking remix for tocotronics latest 12 >imitationen<, pawel is back with >gabriel< on orphanear. both tracks have it in oneself to provide the autumn soundtrack for deep and dark house loving clubs all over the globe. the a-side with >gabriel< mixes classic house-strings with some xylophone and bell-sounds rather known from hamburgs scene around dial and smallville records. these elements built up in beautiful layers to culminate in a furious rather ironic break. the b-side with >early bird< begins with an airy beat that brings pawels 2004 vocalhouse lover >grab it< back to mind. after the softer intro the track mutates into a synthspiral which home has already been defined by pawels 12 >ceramic<. some abandoned industrial city in the north of the united states. a timeless record.<
