OOFT : An Introduction


OOFT Music are The Revenge & Ali Herron. The name was coined during a 2006 DJ residency at the 333 club in Shoreditch, London. Now you can find OOFT DJing most weekends in various venues in Glasgow, curating the L.E.S.S. Productions edits series, producing records for UK label Five20East records, and also running an irregular little club night at the IVY venue.

Nothing is sacred for an OOFT DJ set as long as the fire keeps burning and the heads keep bobbing. Masters of the bar set, armed with turntables, computers, CDs and other bits of technological jiggery-pokery you can expect edgy hip-hop, twisted electronica, dubbed-out re-edits, freaky disco, bleepy house and stone-cold tear-jerkers all rinsed within an inch of their lives. For club work speaker troubling basslines, deep as the ocean house, Chicago classics and plenty of exclusives usually get a look in too.

Having played alongside such musical heroes as DOMU (TrebleO/Sonar Kollektiv), JIMPSTER (Freerange), LEE MORTIMER (Front Room), SINDEN (/Atlantic Jaxx/Get Familiar), SWITCH (Dubsided), MAURICE FULTON (DFA/Tirk), and CHRIS DUCKENFIELD (Swag/PPF), next up on the OOFT calendar is an IVY bank holiday party featuring the mighty MAD MATS (Raw Fusion/Jugglin) and Black Grass (Catskills) on Sunday 3rd August.

Studio production sessions have so far created an EP for Five20East records, which was released in June ’07, and a well received remix of The Revenge released in March ’08. Plenty of edits and reworkings have been periodically released on the acclaimed ultra-limited L.E.S.S. Productions re-edit series which have found their way into the boxes of heavyweights such as The Unabombers, Danny Krivit, Domu, Atjazz, and Swag amongst others. Keep an ear out for more remixes, edits, and original material forthcoming throughout 2008.
