AA1) Like A Hawk (D.B. Version)

Here at Optimo Music we have been fans of Dennis Bovell for longer than we care to remember. We rate him as one of thee very best producers the UK has ever produced. From first hearing his work on the magnificent 'Silly Games" by Janet Kay through his incredible solo albums, his production on albums by The Slits, The Pop Group, Linton Kwesi johnson, Orange Juice, Saâda Bonaire and many more to his astonishing mixes on piles of highly sought after dub 7"s. He has been active in music for 40 years and is still going strong. In 2014 he worked with artists ranging from Rihanna to Golden Teacher! When we heard he was going to be performing in Glasgow late last year we tracked him down and asked if he would be up for going into Green Door studios for a day and doing something with Golden Teacher's music. He was and these are the results. Mr. Bovell did lots of overdubs, adding organ and other instrumentation, pitching down vocals and basslines and created these delirious dubbed out gems.

On the A side is the previously unreleased "Instigator" while on the AA side he reworked Golden Teacher's second single "Like A Hawk". Housed in another classic sleeve designed by Oli from Golden Teacher this two track 12" is a dream come true for us to release.

Mastered by James Savage.

Released on 12" single and digital, May 11th. 2015. Distributed by Kompakt.

Optimo Music 026 - Golden Teacher Meets Dennis "Dubmaster" Bovell (sampler)

Relaxed. This one is truly relaxed. Recorded just a minute ago. It is past 10 at night. It is dark outside but my garden is lit up in beautiful yellow and orange gaslight colors. I always wanted the lights that they have in Spain and in Italy. I have recorded this one also on video. You will be able to see it on my YouTube channel sometime tomorrow. Oh, by the way: It is a free and spontaneous improvisation. Like always. Please enjoy! Do not forget to like and to comment. It helps.

The Dial Records co-founder is back with his first album in 17 years. If you're at all interested in contemporary European electronic music, you'll know that this is a big deal. 

And that's why we're letting you listen to the whole thing right now! Perishable Tactics is a sombre, melancholy affair, that drifts and dips, the musical equivalent of headlights peeking in and out of thick fog. You'll love it.

Perishable Tactics

Carsten Jost - Atlantis II

Mexican guitarist and ambient artist Eblen Macari's Música Para Planetarios (Music for Planetariums) was originally composed for weekly performances in the Luis Enrique Erro Planetarium in Mexico City to accompany a voyage through the galaxy. The album, released in 1987 was based around Macari's solo performances using Ensoniq ESQ-1, a Korg Poly 800, two guitars and pre-hispanic Ocarinas. The expanded arrangements recorded for the album include a full stable of pre-hispanic percussion and beautiful baroque harpsichord played by Macari's wife. This expansive interplanetary soliloquy is undoubtedly Macari’s masterpiece. Remastered from the original master tapes.

Release date: January 25th 2018

Is This Machine Recording?

Новый микс для нас записал Aggelos Baltas, родом из Афин. Его разносторонний талант раскрывается под множеством сценических имён: 
Fantastikoi Hxoi был задуман как ретрофутуристический проект, черпающий вдохновение из локального фольклора, реконструкции краута и психоделики;
Dream Weapons прослыл самым мрачным альтер-эго Аггелоса, под которым вышла наша любимая пластинка «Reach Dystopia» на MRT, у знакомого вам по летнему фестивалю Daniele Cosmo;
наконец, Anatolian Weapons легко и непринужденно смешивает индустриальный контекст с завораживающим мелодическим повествованием, гипнотическими оттенками трейбла и семплированием.

Drum Chant (Luke Abbott remix)

Music for Whales, an ambient radio transmission.
Chapter 13: Adam Wiltzie & Brian Mcbride, Also know as Stars of the Lid. A musical poem made of the tittles of some of their best productions, literaly written and mixed following the same order as they appeared. Nothing else to say... Whales would not understand us.

"Supposed essay on the piano
our last moment in the song,
and by the steep hills of tears,
the slow descent has begun

Our atoms like sun drugs,
the articulated Silences,
and the evil that never arrived,
were the better angels of our nation.

Transforming  the country;
Guilt of Uncomplicated Thoughts.
A Gathering to Lead Me When You're Gone,
 into the Stringer to Light Feed Frenzy,
a fifth  Made Of Phantoms.

When I see the scissors I can't help but think of you,
i know that you dont like the future like i do
I will surround you...
Be small with me.

That finger on your temple is the barrel of my ray gun,
An Melodrames telegraphies,
chronicle of early failures…
It's this love song".
