Shift Work (@shiftworking) are an electronic duo who have previously released on JD Twitch’s Glasgow label Optimo Music. They debut on Houndstooth with ‘Document II’, an EP developed from live jams on outboard analogue gear. ‘Abandoned Hands’ is lean and raw, an angular bassline and indecipherable vox punctuating the relentless 4/4 kick drum and pattering percussion. ‘SBFM’ is fuller-bodied, with the modulating bassline taking centre stage, draped in loose synths and topped with a deadpan vocal refrain.

Shift Work invited remixes from their associates, and the results are impressive, with DVA Damas (@dvadamasdvadamas) dialling down the tempo and stripping back ‘Abandoned Hands’ further still, whilst Factory Floor (@factory-floor) return to remix duty on Houndstooth with a typically subtle yet infectious building take on 'SBFM'.

Underspreche - Invito Alla Danza Part 1 (of 2)

A2) Vicino A Te 

AA1) Enchanting Lure
AA2) In Turbine

After a split single with Muslimgauze and a single of their own on Optimo Trax we are delighted to present the first Optimo Trax album release by Italy’s Underspreche. The album is split across two fours track EPs, released two weeks apart (and also as a complete digital album).

We try to avoid over-hyping our releases but this one is really fully deserving of the hyperbole I am about to bestow on it. Underspreche first sent me some music a few years ago and seeing them grow and develop has been nothing short of astonishing. I think this is some of the most nuanced and advanced music that Optimo Trax has ever released. There are several dance floor destroyers here but also music for more developed / leading-edge floors too, as well as some music simply designed to make one’s mind melt.  It is very rare that I listen to 4/4 music at home but this album has been a constant on my hi fi since it was sent to me.

Super advanced organic sampling, inspired vocalisations, acute psychedelic modular sequences, forward thinking drum programming, this is exactly what I hoped Optimo Trax would be about when I started the label. 

From Underspreche’s souls to yours.

In their words - 

Our idea is to make an album based on our concept of dancefloor. The entire work was inspired by the classical composition by Carl Maria von Weber called "Aufforderung zum Tanz“; we used the Italian version, "Invito alla danza”. 


We wanted to transpose the classical idea of this work (based on the Knight who invites a lady to dance in a salon of a fairy palace) to our world where the dance floor it’s a club, not so different from Weber salon in a certain way! 


Four track 12" EP released on November 18th 2016. Distributed by Kompakt and Rub A Dub. Part 2 and full digital release on December 2nd.

Next up on Viscera premieres is Keys, a collaborative side project spawned in the darkest reaches of the minds of Benedikt Frey and Chris Cox, and Voltage is their latest brainchild. Check our premiere of 'Thoughts' above for some Low-slung, seductive, psychedelic melancholia.

PREMIERE | Keys - Thoughts [R.i.O]

https://soundcloud.com/thatwhichisnotsaid the creative alter ego of Atlanta-based artist Matt Weiner releases his rendition of Chris Isaak’s 1989 track which forgets the epic slide guitar, speeds it up by about 10 bpm, and gives a whole new wave vibe to the 80s classic. Stay tuned for details on the forthcoming album on 2MR. Watch the video at: https://www.thebrvtalist.com/wickedgame/

Choosing... Acronyms... Randomly ...
‘Layered, fascinating and irresistible’ - DJ Mag

‘Astonishingly accomplished … Many influences are on display, but C.A.R. connects them in a way uniquely hers.’ - Electronic Sound

C.A.R. (Choosing Acronyms Randomly) is a musical project conceived by Chloé Raunet, a multi-faceted creative living in London. Her self-confessed crush on too many genres results in a unique blend of glacial electronica, post-punk and warming, introspective pop. 

Following three albums on iconic, queer Parisian label Kill The DJ and UK’s Ransom Note, the live act now consists of herself and Joni Green. This latest combination champions female empowerment, injecting fresh energy and hype into the show. Together, they are building a reputation for pulsing, magnetic, sweaty and unforgettable performances. 

December marked another excursion into uncharted territory with the release ‘avant pop masterpiece’, Anzu. More new songs are tricking their way into the set, and C.A.R.'s next LP is on the near horizon.

A fan of the weirder edges of electronic music, Chloé also DJs and hosts the monthly 'On The Slip Road' show on NTS Radio.
