Snafu Podcast 7 - Ooft Music

So... What the hell is it all about? we let the boys explain..."OOFT Music are The Revenge & Ali Herron. We coined the name during our 2006 DJ residency at the infamous 333 club in Shoreditch, London. Now we DJ most weekends in various venues in Glasgow, produce records for UK label Five20East records, and run an irregular little club night at IVY.

Nothing is sacred at an OOFT club night as long as the fire keeps burning and the heads keep bobbing. Armed with turntables, computers, CDs and other bits of technological jiggery-pokery you can expect swingin' house, edgy hip-hop, twisted electronica, dubbed-out re-edits, freaky disco, bleeps and stone-cold tear-jerkers all rinsed within an inch of their lives..

So far we’ve played alongside the likes of musical heroes DOMU (TrebleO/Sonar Kollektiv), JIMPSTER (Freerange), LEE MORTIMER (Front Room), SINDEN (/Atlantic Jaxx/Get Familiar), SWITCH (Dubsided) and MAURICE FULTON (DFA/Tirk). We're currently organising some bumper bank holiday Sunday parties @ IVY with very special guests tba...exciting!"

Studio production sessions have so far created an EP for Five20East records, which was released in June ’07, as well as seeing some of our tracks being included in 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 the year.

Catch the Ooft Music boys at Snafu on the 28th of June.
