Good afternoon everyone,
I would like to introduce a new label from england http://www.offkeyindustries.com. Their first release is "The Portimão E.P." by Matt O'Brien. I think a little promotion would not be amiss and this board is the perfect place. You can find some audio samples under the release section.
It's a diversified minimal 4 track ep: "hidden high" is a driving minimal track with a beautiful endless melody, "loptech" sounds like a reduced Guido Schneider track (very cool ), "invader" I guess is for those who like Roman Flügel's "Geht's noch" and "headpeel" tends a bit to the m_nus style - there is music for everyone.
It's a short recension but I'm not a journalist so check it out for yourself. The record is worth it. Maybe Matt can post a comment and tell a little more. He has joined the forum recently.

Cheers An_J, glad you're digging the first release. I like your descriptions, it's always interesting to see what other people see in your tracks. I have to admit that I didn't see a "Geht's noch" influence (not a fan of that track myself) but I can see your point! To me, Invader has more of a chicago style influence, with elements of Relief and early Neil Landstrumm, that's more of where my head is at I suppose.
This release should be in the shops soon, it's been at the distributors for a while but is finally getting a release on the 29th August through Blackhole Distribution. If there are any shops or distro's out there that want it then then either email blackhole@ntlbusiness.com or just PM me through this board.
Well, that's quite enough self promotion for one day, I think I'd better shut up now.
@bazz01 - thanks for buying a copy off the site, I posted it yesterday so with any luck you'll get it today. Hope you like it, let me know what you think.

Hi Bazz - thanks for the feedback and sorry to hear the tracks were a little fast for your taste. As you say, 3 of the tracks are about 135 bpm, the first track son side A is about 130. Well, thanks for buying it anyway, I hope you find some use for it. Pity it's not a picture disc of some buxom wench, then you could have made an attractive clock out of it.
