Biografía
Mr OFFBeat is the solo project of Xabier Garayalde, a drummer, keyboard player, producer and DJ whose wider career includes co-founding Wagon Cookin' and working as one half of Kyodai. Those partnerships brought live musicianship into electronic music before he developed this separate identity.
Based in Madrid, Garayalde draws on jazz, soul, disco and house in records including Doin' My Thing and Rebirth. Appetizers, the platform he helped establish, remains connected to his work. The solo name gives him space to develop the playing and production ideas gathered through years of ensemble and collaborative projects.
