OFFKEY

Drum n' Bass / Techno / Electronica

London, United Kingdom

Billboard

Offkey was created in 2004 by Raiden, who wanted to bring a new direction into the scene, with a concept that bridges the gap between Techno and Drum & Bass, in a unique and pioneering format. Heavily influenced by the searing, grinding sound of techno but very much into the rolling break beat sound. Raiden decided to meld the two together creating a fierce, yet deep sound solidly infected with dark elements of funk, truly creating a trademark style within the genre.

Gathering together a group of like-minded producers and also close friends, Raiden has brought a refreshing new sound to the Drum & Bass scene and while also at the same time breaking new talent like The Sect, Propaganda, Temper D, Prode, as well as established names such as The Panacea.

With currently 9 releases under their belt:

OK001 Raiden & Propaganda - Machine Soul / Ratchet
OK002 Raiden & Propaganda - Chernobyl 4 / Point of Contact
OK003 Propaganda - The Real / Axis & Allies
OK004 ThePanacea - Carborundum / Calcifier
OK005 The Sect - Caesium 137(With Raiden) / Kill All Humans / Nerve Attack / Zeroid
OK006 Lethal & Khanage - Jawbreaker / Murkage
OK007 Proket - Show me / Guta / Skafandr (With Raiden) / Kaskad
OK008 Temper D - Minimal Blink / Sun Rise at Sonar
OK009 Propaganda - Blu 82 / Mercernary

Offkey is one label that has stayed true to its original objective of bridging the gap between Techno and Drum & Bass, with each release being a pure technoid monster of Drum & Bass. Already receiving critical acclaim from artists like Dylan, Tech Itch, Ed Rush and Marcus Intalex, plus also from artists like Alex Calver and Dean Rodell within the Techno Scene.

Offkey Ltd is an OFF-SHOOT of Offkey, which is being used get out the tunes people have been requesting, as well as some special others. We are doing this so we can keep the present schedule with Offkey Recordings running smoothly and not affect it in anyway

SubdivisionMedia is also proud to announce the launch of the first ever twinned Techno/Drum & Bass Label "Subsistenz" with the OffKey Family. Cementing our love of all things techno the two collectives will be collaborating on projects to bridge the gap between the two genres. Classic techno tracks will also be remixed from the likes of Propaganda, Raiden all in the very near future.
Subtrakt is a project label for all that are involved with Subdivision and Off-Key allowing us to play and mould the sounds of D&B and Techno into a cauldron of deep dark and dirty Dub.

So as you can see Offkey is becoming one strong collective of artists.
