ABOUT

Offbeat Oddio can't replace a trip to the record store. It can't replace the best DJ from your favorite radio station, or your favorite music critic's magazine column. It definitely can't replace a mixtape from your crush. There are plenty of ways to learn about new music, but we want to give you one more avenue. This zine is a collection of music recommendations made by real people, released digitally and on paper every month, so that you can skip the algorithm and the ads and the sponsored suggestions and corporations telling you what to like. That's why we made Offbeat Oddio: we want your playlists, we want you to DJ for us and our readers, and we want music recommended by real people and made by real people. We can't promise you'll like these tunes, but we can promise that someone out there, someone flesh and blood, thinks they're worth giving a listen.

Offbeat Oddio is based in FL. We enjoy long walks on the beach DIY anything, nature, art, "obsolete" technology, and MUSIC! We are anti-AI, anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, and anti-censorship.
