We are proud to present the second album by 291outer space, the electronic side project of the well-know italian jazz-funk band 291out alongside sound engineer Ivan “Flyme” Cibien.

This new work plays tribute to a variety of legends of Kosmische Muzik and Sci-Fi world (among all, Vangelis, Shulze, Jarre, Parson, Moroder, Carpenter) re-imagining the sound in a contemporary key, therefore tradition and innovation are united in the search for a future’s Disco that is utterly to be discovered yet.
Clean drums, insistent bass-lines, spacey synthesizers and a lonely guitar compose a mistyc release enriched by an ethereal voice and shimmering flutes. The homeland musical heritage of the group definitely soaks the album with a distinctive groove alongside the oniric beatless moments.

*The track which opens and closes the disc in its two different arrangements, "Transcendence Rain Forest", is a
poetic and philosophical interpretation of the origin of humanity and the ultimate meaning of life, an invitation to flee from our uncertain destiny and apocalyptic post-pandemic present to reconnect with the cosmic flow of the planet. A resounding exhortation to go “beyond” the here and now.

Optimo Music proudly introduces “Superconductor”, a double album by Blotter Trax, out June 23rd. 

Back in 2018, two mysterious twelve-inch singles appeared in underground record shops. Credited to Blotter Trax, a previously unknown outfit who cherished “faceless” anonymity, the pleasingly twisted and mind-altering music on show was a mutant form of electronic psychedelia. The included tracks were variously informed by analogue techno, acid, electro and minimal, but inhabited their own clandestine sonic space. These tracks were, we later discovered, lightly edited “straight to tape” jams, crafted on the fly by their creators in one of Berlin’s most admired studios. 

By the time Blotter Trax delivered their follow-up on Clone offshoot Frustrated Funk a year later, the secret was out: the project was in fact a collaboration between two storied artists, techno titan Magda – a DJ/producer who should need little introduction – and serial underground aggravator (and man of many aliases) Jay Ahern, sometime Hauntologists member and acid techno royalty thanks to years spent releasing similarly shadowy EPs as T.B Arthur. 

In the years that followed, and before the COVID-19 pandemic grounded them in Berlin, the pair took their incendiary, modular-driven live show to esteemed clubland institutions (Fabric included), on an acclaimed tour of Japan, and onto the stages of festivals across Europe. 

Four years on from that appearance on Frustrated Funk, Blotter Trax are back in updated and expanded form. Now a trio thanks to the addition of bassist and sound artist Hannes Strobl, the band is set to release their far-sighted, funk-fuelled debut album, Super Conductor – a pulsating, thrill-in-minute ride that includes extensive contributions from principal vocalist and lyricist Nina Hynes (a long-time friend and studio collaborator), as well as appearances from singers Ilhem Khodja and David Moss, and guitarist Shigeru Tanabu. In addition, Matthew Styles mixed the set and old friend John Tejada mastered it. 

Speaking of the album’s inspirations, and specifically the meaning of the title, Nina Hynes highlighted the following passage from her lyrics: “Super Conductor is the realisation that agency is within one’s own control. A reminder to cease that knowledge with a playfulness around the concept that our own minds and feelings can be used like a technology to reprogram and manipulate our cellular selves so we can thrive in the modern cult of health and youth. I am the Super Conductor.” 

While rooted in electro and acid, the album is impressively low-slung, stylish and funky, with nods towards Blotter Trax’s mutual love of Arthur Russell, early ‘80s NYC downtown disco, leftfield new-wave pop and flash-fried punk-funk. Released by JD Twitch’s admired Optimo Music imprint, it charts the ongoing dancefloor evolution of a band whose days of mystery and mischief are now a distant memory. 

Released on double vinyl and digital June 23rd 2023.
