Release Date : June 2023
Format : 12”


Off The Grid unveils the second chapter of its label, this time with two tracks (A1 and B1) from Mataemon, an alter ego of Tolga Fidan, who puts his years of experience into forging two powerful cuts that balance the strengths of the past with the visions of the future, laying driving, deep and playful elements over steady grooves, raving straight from the heart. The A2 cut is the release debut of OG record collector and music enthusiast Matzo Sweetlife, a well kept secret on the outskirts of Brussels, who delivers a no-nonsense track of "machine soul", soft and dark, pure Detroit style. Rounding off the ep, the B2 marks the return of Oni-Ki (aka Onirik and Minoki) to wax after a short hiatus... this time with a solemn groover, confirming their consistently off-kilter approach, tinged with acid-jazz influences and emotional flights.

B2. Oni-Ki - Icarus

B1. Mataemon - Spotlight

A2. Matzo Sweetlife - House Arrest

A1. Mataemon - Changgu

Release date : end March 2024

For the third VA of the Off The Grid label we have brought together the always dynamic expert DJ and producer tINI of Part of The Gang, co-owner of the elegant Berlin collective Overground Records, Rickie, GNMR, certified Italian "Dj Dynasty" owner of Dubblack Records and finally the promising hyperactive Belgian producer Session 4000. 

No room for melancholy this time, we dive straight into darker territories, jacking grooves, dark dub vibes and eerie hypnotic loops. 

Thank you for joining us on this journey.

After three VA's, we are proud to present the first solo ep on the Off The Grid label, courtesy of Children Of The Sun. Coming from the mind of Chicaiza, the Ecuadorian co-owner of Berlin based Kimchi Records, this project embodies a more optimistic, melancholic approach to his productions, perfectly in line with the OTG aesthetic, we are thrilled to release these tracks. The Sun God is here!

Bubbling Belgian talent Session 4000 delivers his first solo EP for OTG. He crosses over styles and moods with his usual wizardry, creating a hypnotic and powerful sound.

From the shadowed dancefloors of Amsterdam comes mayo, the goth house queen, twisting her sound into something darker and funkier. Stripping it down, a minimalist machine of tension and release — basslines snapping, original vocals echoing into percussive shapes, and synths bending into warp zones.  
It’s electronic funk at its most skeletal and seductive: lean, twisted grooves that hypnotize as much as they bombard your soul. 

Equal parts underground ritual and late-night seduction, the tracks carve out a soundscape where house collapses into post-punk swagger, and funk mutates into something cold, magnetic, and utterly addictive.
