Optimo Music presents “Janara” the new 8 track album from Italy’s José Manuel. We always have our ears open for music that is unique, powerful and that can conjure up a ritualistic atmosphere, and this meistrerwerk does all that, and then some. We knew we had to release it after the first listen.

We'll let José tell you about it....



This album is a result of the necessity of exploring and opening my mind to new musical horizons, by testing the main traditional instrument of the Italian region Campania, whose name is “Tammorra”. It is a big drum, which must not be confused with the typical tambourine, made from a wrap of wood shaped in a circle and covered with dried skin (almost always goatskin or sheepskin). This instrument was used during playful events, especially during rituals and ceremonies, such as the frequent devotional pilgrimages in honour of the Virgin Mary. By using this instrument, the sound, the rite and the magic could take possession of the mind and the body creating a perfect union. Also, the dancers, as if they were bitten by a tarantula and possessed by a strange evil, launched themselves to an uncontrolled dance by moving every part of their body. 


In addition to the Tammorra, I also inserted some texts, which have been written by some Neapolitan friends and interpreted with Neapolitans voices, in honour of the “JANARA”. The Janara represents a popular belief of the Southern Italian regions, particularly of the Benevento area. The Janara is one of the many types of witches represented by folktales belonging to the rural tradition. 

The Janara was expert in medical herbs, which were also be used for her magical practices, such as the manufacturing of ointment. The ointment gave her the power to become incorporeal with the same nature as the wind. According to the tradition, in order to snatch the Janara it was necessary to grab her by the hair. It was also said that if anyone was able to capture the Janara during her incorporeal moment then Janara herself would offer protection to them and their family for seven generations, in exchange for her freedom.   


With this work I hope that the listener might get carried away by the spirit of this pagan and popular legend that can be still be considered as current. As a matter of fact, the folk tales speak of a probable comeback of the Janara, who after being burned at the stake seems to be thirsting for revenge for the evil suffered.

A few months after his ‘Friendly Surveillance’ EP, the tenebrous frenchman Jon Beige strikes back : three of his latest productions have been chewed up and spat out under adventurous auto-remixed versions for chemically sedated dancers. There were initially meant to be club-oriented versions, but the end result sound more like they would potentially clear the dancefloor… But that’s how we love them, so we decided to name them ‘Empty Club Mixes’, which sadly sound pretty familiar at the moment.

Melting high-tech soundscapes, hypnotic synths and broken drums, Jon Beige’s synthetic universe got once again a beautiful graphic treatment by the disturbed pen of Serbian graphic artist Stevie Whisper.

Releasing Jon Beige since his earliest work, Global Warming Records is run by french producer and talent seeker Malcolm, who imagines and shapes each project hand in hand with his artists. Club Friendly Surveillance will be the label’s 14th release.

Palo Santo (Empty Club Mix)

PREMIERE: Jon Beige - Palo Santo (Empty Club Mix) [Global Warming Records]

The shaman uses ceremonies to transform fear and guide others through their own transitions. In ceremonies we learn to be present with the direct experience of fear, even when we want to avoid it.

Sound has long been known to have deep therapeutic qualities. The main element of healing music is the root sound. The focus on one note brings the listener to the present. It is grounding and can induce a higher state of consciousness. Combine that with dancing and you are now moving the energy, freeing your body from stuck emotions.

This is the purpose of this album. These are the tools for the modern shaman.

PREMIERE | Endo Monk - Hörsturz [TEERPAPPE] 2021

Summer hit missed the summer... While the shadow of the Machine World seems to cover everything, let's drop our clothes and offer our bodies to the sun again. Delicate love for exotica, rythmic freshness, Mathias Kulpinski's music is full of eccentric charm!

When the Notte Brigante fam’ came across his first 7’’ called « Dubz », they immediately felt in love with these twisted dubby sounds and asked him if he had more. The answer was Yes and Dj F16 Falcon kindly sent to us some music. The three tracks are the cherry on the cake of his demos, at least the weirdest ones héhé!

From unruly music to "biscornu" dancehall, Dj F16 Falcon definitely does nothing like the others, the charm of his bugle probably lies in this!

Edition of 300 copies, 7" served in a hand-made sleeve, using linocutting technique then screen-printed in Die, Drome. Out around October 1st, 2021.

In the middle of the summer Yeho, an Israeli musician coming from Tel Aviv, was wandering around Italy and randomly he found himself in the “Quintino Basement”, lair of Ninja Exotic Machine.
This casual encounter gave birth to three new tracks where the
duo’s downtempo and tribal style merges with Yeho’s crisp and raw vocal together with intriguing percussions samples extracted from live recordings of the percussionist Andrea Greco.
The result is an Ep called “36 questions” out on Pho Bho Records on the 14th of October.

J A - enter ja | RUBBER006

J A surfaces on RUBBER with six disorienting wave tracks, reigniting the catalogue after a short hiatus. Crafted by Andrea Noce (Eva Geist, As Longitude) and Jonida Prifti (Acchiappashpirt, Opa Opa), these productions find elegance in their noir aesthetic and sketch-like composition, breathing filmic atmospheres of its creative process and the hedonist self alike. 

Straying away from the societal drift for efficiency and make belief, this record was produced over a timespan of five years, while shifting between Berlin and Rome. Dancing and loafing, mirrors were splintered and scattered shards reflected a new light. Here, Noce her serpentine sense of melody guides uncharted signatures of reverber­ating syncopated drums, while soundscapes move in and out as apparitions fogging the mind. The poetic spoken-singing of Prifti  subdues the tracks, through a linguistic form where Albanian and Italian intertwine, channeling her scientific field into art. Cleverly processed, the vocals take on many shapes, blurring lines between instrumen­tation and recognition, creating meaning where language ends.

'Spaarndammerbuurt Archief 001' is made up of 5 previously unreleased tracks and are now available on the BSS Bandcamp page.

Parallel Routes is the new Various Artists by Random Numbers. 
14 tracks made by artists we love across Europe:
A Hand (Italy), Accou (Belgium), Anatolian Weapons (Greece), Artis (Nederland), Bss (Nederland), Black Seed (Italy), BXP(Italy), Carcass Identity (Belgium), Exhausted Modern (Czech Republic), Front De Cadeaux (Italy/Belgium), Heap (Austria), Új Bála (Hungary), UVB76 (France), Wang inc. (Italy).

After the first week of lockdown, we were forced to postpone all of our scheduled releases, so we started thinking about a new V.A.
Our inspiration behind it was the mutual support to overcome the lockdown and the discomfort it brought. As such, we started to contact the artists we love asking them to collaborate.
The result is astonishingly homogeneous, even if we were locked in our homes thousands of kilometers away from each other.
As a record label, we recognize the importance of not interrupting our work, to support independent artists during this global crisis.
We may be apart, but we're going in the same direction. We are in Parallel Routes.
