Title:	Goldcard
Label:	OFF (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	OFF 996CD

"Recorded with members of Grandaddy, Quasi, Sleater-Kinney and Pond, Mr. Campbell's knack for creating otherworldly, orchestral psych is truly unmatched. Recalling The Grifters' perverse soul, the sad pop aspects of Sparklehorse and Grandaddy, an overall vibe of someone who's losing it à la Skip Spence, and happily in the shadow of the Pet Sounds legacy, Goldcard is truly a beautiful piece of work over which fans of mysterious, innovative pop music will drop to their knees."

Artist:	VIOLI & FABIO GIANNELLI, MIRCO
Title:	Japan Woman
Label:	OFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	OFF 001EP

"Known for successfully launching Heimatmelodie and releasing on labels like Sender, Liebe *Detail, Safari Electronique and many more, Andre Crom presents his new label OFF. This label does not want to be associated with a specific style; the primary intention is to release tracks that stand for themselves; that have a unique appeal ready to stand the test of time. 'Timeless and grown-up techno and house' is the only limitation in terms of style for OFF. With this said, it becomes obvious why Mirco Violi and Fabio Giannelli's music is perfect to start OFF with. The sympathetic young DJs and producers are based in Milan and belong to the fastest rising stars of the Italian scene. Artists like Luciano, Italoboyz, Matthias Tanzmann, Matthias Kaden, Lauhaus and many are supporters of Mircos former releases on labels like Be Chosen or Heimatmelodie, and the first OFF release is also sure to find many friends. 'Japan Woman' on the A-side features a woofer-shaking bass line, a deep percussion groove and extremely catchy vocals -- a perfect tune for the wasted late hours of the night. Mike Wall keeps the original sound aesthetic, but turns it into a primetime club-mover. Mirco's solo work 'Shakeresque' on the B is just that: a straight and simple groovy bass combined with an energetic guitar loop able to re-infuse some energy even into the most tired dancefloor. Andre Crom and Charles Widmore (Perplex) transform 'Shakeresque' into a techier rave-tune using chord stabs to raise the attention before dropping into that anthemic guitar loop."

Title:	Park Life
Label:	OFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	OFF 002EP

"'The Park Life Original' will bring a bit of sunshine into your cold winter: a simple deephouse groove topped by driving percussions and warm, summery live instrument organs, flutes and a trumpet, all put together in a musical, subtle and non-obvious way. M.In turns the original into a very driving and club-focused percussive groovemonster, which will get both your woofers and dancers shaking! Danito again takes another approach with a deep and fat-sounding floating tech-house-mix, well suited to take the listener on a deep trip in the later hours of the night. Altogether an eclectic and rewarding package for the most different sets and a perfect second release for OFF."

Artist:	WING, JAMY
Title:	Que Pasa/Go Away
Label:	OFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	OFF 003EP

"Already known for releasing a successful EP on Einmaleins Musik, Jamy Wing is a sympathetic young DJ and producer based in Jena and well connected to the scene of the area.

Besides releasing his own music, he's also a resident at such respected places as the Manga club in Jena and has played guest gigs including at Berlin's famous Watergate cCub. 'Que Pasa' features a woofer-shaking bass line, a deep groove and subtle vocal and nature samples, slowly building before dropping in a killer saxophone line that will send dancefloors into a frenzy. 'Go Away' is the perfect counterpart: a deep and twisted groove-tool with a very catchy bass line -- perfect for wasted afterhours at your favorite club."

Title:	100 Years Later EP
Label:	OFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	OFF 007EP

"Known by releases on labels as Thirty One Twenty, his own District Raw, OFF001 and his recent hit Growing on Supplement Facts, young Italian Fabio Giannelli presents his next strike for OFF! A1 is for sure the deepest A-side the label has seen so far, a unique and moody slice of oldschool-ish deephouse with a great sound design and soulful synth-voice pads. On 'Crossline,' Fabio stays true to his string tradition of driving techhouse-tracks, a sure peaktime-dancefloor-mover. Einzelkind deliver a great interpretation of '100 Years Later,' deep but driving at the same time, looping a vocal slice over and over and using the synth-voice of the original as a driving rave-signal sound, all in their trademark outstanding sound quality. 'Channel Strip' completes the vinyl as a deep groove-tool with a cool atmosphere, perfect for the earlier or later hours of the night. Düsseldorf-based DJ, producer and promoter Cess created a deep remix of '100 Years Later' with an organic, warm and sophisticated groove, an endless trippy tool topped by the organ and vocal samples of the original."

Title:	Get On A Freak EP
Label:	OFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	OFF 008EP

"For Get On A Freak M.in (still well-known from his incredibly successful New Orleans EP on OFF004) and his friend Ben Anders team up to deliver a freaky, funky and veeery groovy cut of jacking house. One of the few tracks who manage combining 100% dancefloor focus with a really original sounddesign. 'Booty' is a straightforward summer hit, driving grooves on to a rock-solid kick, garnered with soulful vocals, uplifting keys and those incredibly catchy strings in the break. 'Bell Bala,' fits very well to Booty, also featuring a melancholic summery guitar theme on top of a strong groove, perfect to celebrate the last sunny open airs before the long and cold winter returns. The Jacuzzi Boys deliver a deeper and more bass-focused interpretation of 'Bell Bala,' perfect for the earlier or later hours of a set."

Title:	Got You There EP
Label:	OFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	OFF 009EP

"After delivering two much loved and played EPs for OFF Recordings, labelmanager Andre Crom and Milan's Luca Doobie return with a stunning EP. Got You There is just what the description 'peaktime-anthem' has been invented for: a highly catchy vocal hook on top of a rock-solid kick and 90ies-organ-bassline groove, supplemented by rave-chord-stabs and driving Chicago-ish grooves on top. And a break that you should need a weapons license for. 'Snake Seven' is a more subtle and moody affair with a dark groove, freaky vocals and a jazzy bassline and theme loop. The vinyl is completed by a remix of French underground legend Chris Carrier who delivers a great toolish and extremely groovy interpretation of 'Snake Seven.' Stripped down, all about a strong bassline groove and with dry instrument and vocal stabs from the original, this is a timeless tool perfect for house and techno sets alike."

Artist:	MANU-L & PAUL CART
Title:	Keep On
Label:	OFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	OFF 011EP

"Tool alert! Manu-L & Paul Cart deliver three original tracks 100% aimed at the dancefloor. 'Keep On' is a rough old-schoolish peaktime rocker, with a massive bassline and catchy vocal; drop this in your set and be sure to get the dancefloor go wild... 'Babajee' is a more emotional, soulful percussive track, with extremely catchy vocals; perfect for the later hours of the night, a beautiful memory of the gone summer. Maybe the most particular track of the pack is 'Multicolours,' a quirky groovetool with fresh and original sounds. Nima Gorji delivers a deep techy interpretation of 'Multicolours,' completing the package in the perfect way."

Artist:	MILLERI & THE SELPH, MATTEO
Title:	Remembrance
Label:	OFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	OFF 015EP

"Milan-based friends Matteo MIlleri & The Selph present their debut EP for Off Recordings. And it's a debut to watch as those guys may be young in age but very talented. 'Remembrance' is a peaktime house tool with an anthemic organ line, uplifting vocals, a tight groove and an epic arrangement, perfect for rocking the dancefloor in the middle of the night. Mobilee's Marcin Czubala delivers a more laidback interpretation in his unique style, building a deep groove and combining elements of the original with great new samples to create a quirky track perfect for the earlier or later hours of the night. 'Midnight Rims' is a completely different affair, a techhouse-tool stripped down to the essence for all lovers of minimalistic groovebombs. The EP is completed by 'Mornin' Mist,' an atmospheric deephouse groover based on soulful chords and vocals."
