ABOUT THIS ITEM

For the latest Off-key release, Offkey Industries turned to some of their favourite producers to to remix the label's previous release, "From The Periphery". Matt explains the rationale behind choosing each remixer: 'One of the first names on the list was Schatrax, aka Josh Brent. I've never been a completist when it comes to buying vinyl but I used to scour the second hand shops hunting down every last Schatrax release. I was thrilled when Josh agreed to remix "Dodaso" and the result is a typically beautiful and deep reworking. Another producer on the original shortlist was Todd Sines as I've been a fan of his stripped back, tweaking minimalism for some time. Todd's remix of "Dodaso" is typically fucked-up and funky in true .xtrak style.

On the flip I turned to some newer producers, the first of which is KiNK, who caught my attention with the twisted sound of his solo releases as well as collaborations with Neville Watson on Rush Hour. His remix of "The Gauntlet" remains quite faithful to the original whilst also instilling it with his own trippy and unique style. Last year Peder Mannerfelt, aka The Subliminal Kid, sent me a track which became the only track released on Off-key through a demo submission. Peder ended up having a stellar year as part of the production team behind Fever Ray so I was very happy to have him remix "Blackwood Freestyle" which he's mutated it into a rolling dub inflected groover.'
