Info:

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.
