The Twins - You've Got A Twin In The Attic (You Lunatic) EP.

A1) You've Got A Twin In The Attic (You Lunatic)
AA1) Water Coaster
AA2) Love Monarchy 

It has been all quiet on the Optimo Music front recently while energy has been devoted to the launch of Optimo Trax but do not fear, there are a plethora of scintillating releases in the pipeline for 2014.

First up is a stormtrooper of an EP from The Twins. We first met The Twins when they were hanging out in Glasgow before they were twins and were simply known as Julienne Dessagne. By the time our paths had crossed in various European capital cities they had fully developed their Twin like tendencies. A mutual appreciation was born and out of that came the suggestion that The Twins might make a record for Optimo Music. The resulting three tracks far exceeded our wildest expectations and we are incredibly proud to be presenting this Twins magnum opus to the world. Haunting, forceful, transcendent music with spine tingling vocals this EP has perhaps a tad more dancefloor capability than many Optimo Music releases but is also a record equally capable of giving your ears a lot of loving at home. 

It was hard to pick one track to showcase the EP but this one is the one that has perhaps been tested out on the dance floor the most and always results in people clamouring to know what it is. The kind of track that completely changes the atmosphere in a club and often results in spontaneous cheering, it has been mixed to perfection by The Twins ally, Superpitcher who will be releasing their debut album on his and Rebolledo's Hippie Dance label.

Expect Twins live shows in 2014.


This will be released on a three track 12" and digital on March 17th 2014. Distribution by Kompakt.

@gemini-voice-archive | Paradoxical Chronicles 
[SOMADA116] 

1. ZERO CURVATURE
2. A SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION OF THE SPEED OF LIGHT
3. BEFORE EVERYTHING WAS COMPLETE CHAOS
4. FRAMAURO’S PLAINS
5. QUARKS
6. TRACES OF CHROMACITY
7. INTERACTION OF A PARALLEL UNIVERSE
8. COSMIC CHRONIC
9. SINGULARITY
10. LIGHT IN MATTER
11. REASON AND CONSCIOUSNESS
12. THE ILLUSION OF KNOWLEDGE
13. UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE


After a highly successful and explosive entry to the Soma Records roster, the anonymous duo of Gemini Voice Archive present their debut album, Paradoxical Chronicles. The LP displays the culmination of of the pairs last few years working tirelessly to create a unique and refined sound that has seen them carve out a special place amongst their peers at Soma. After a string of releases over the past 2 years, the self taught Spanish based producers and science enthusiasts have collected 13 truly special tracks that define their origins in Detroit Techno & Chicago House yet delve more realistically into the modern electronic world.  

The opening buzz of Zero Curvature sets the deep, esoteric tone of whats to follow as ‘A Significant Proportion Of the Speed Of Light’ quickly ups the pace, taking on the traditional sound of GVA. The aptly named “Before Everything Was Complete Chaos” offers up a more menacing vibe before ‘Framauro’s Plains’ - inspirations taken from the worn remnant of a walled lunar plain. Consistent theme is gradually built by the GVA duo once the enigmatic ‘Quarks’ drifts through the veil, creating a mid pint for this debut album. The pair swiftly move back into familiar dance floor orientated territory as their singular production theories take flight - sculpting new sonic territories with each track. A momentary refuel at ‘Singularity’ only gives a small moment of motionlessness as ‘Light In Matter’ delivers glimmers of distant galaxies and ushers us toward colonies new. Reason & Knowledge are tested as we come to a close of Gemini Voice Archive’s sophomore LP, culminating in the atmospheric and unnerving ‘Uncertainty Principle’

GVA deliver a concise and mature album, one that exemplifies a duo with great creative depth, seeking to go beyond the norm.

The EP features soothing Downtempo tracks -3 original productions and 3 remixes - inviting to an intimite,comtemplative and emotional listening / dancing experience.

RELEASE NOTE: 
Greek duo Dizharmonia mystically dip their paintbrush into sounds of a faraway time and space, rooting them into a dark and ethereal present. With this EP, they travel towards deep realms of the ancient world, carrying listeners along a misty progressive trip. Rather than the destination, it is the atmospheric movement of the journey which creates meaning and leaves our minds full of dreams. Telos takes flight on cascading synths that seductively curl like the rolling hills of glistening Mediterranean islands. Fos is an evocative march forward to the tune of sharp percussions and acid rhythms. Alexandria concludes the trip with a dark and glitchy groove, gliding off in the distance guided by the ancient Alexandrian lighthouse. Fellow dreamers encountered along the road’s twists and turns enhance it with more magic; French artists Pandhora pick up the tempo with their trademark soulful psychedelia, while deep tech maestro Veytik carves a haunting space for vocals. Modern and evocative, we are delighted to share this expedition with you.

Dizharmonia - Telos (Pandhora Remix) [Souq Records]

As excitement builds for this year's Convenanza Festival, the event curated by Bernie Fabre and Andrew Weatherall, Höga Nord get set to release a compilation celebrating the artists performing at this years . Among the performers are Komodo Kolektif.  Having been featured on Weatherall's NTS show Music's not for Everyone the Glasgow collective are heading out to Carcasonne to woo the crowds with their unique brand of Cosmic live instrumentation and no doubt the centrepiece will be Daratan Ceremony, a track which straddles the line between Etnofunk and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.
Tabla sounding drums underpin distorted wind chimes, growling thick bass in a track which in another dimension would be the theme for a warped wildlife documentary series about humans, no doubt being watched by ants or some other dominant technologically advanced species.  Members of the band have released solo on Optimo and Invisible, Inc. and along with several other sometime members have melded live instrumentation with machinery musically in the same way that body horror director David Kronenburg has on film.
Höga Nord's association with Andrew Weatherall continues to be fruitful with this fantastic sampler heading into the weirder and slightly more Cosmic edges of electronic music.

Moon Diagrams - The Ghost & The Host (Komodo Kolektif Altered Reality Mix)

At long last Komodo Kolektif have brought us the long-awaited follow-up to their outstanding 2017 EP “Sumantras”. 

With “Sundada” we see the group delve even deeper into hypnotic territory with a stronger focus on their Indonesian gamelan instruments, wall-shaking basslines and trance-inducing percussion. A dual focus on tribal primitivism in parallel with a futuristic vision of the possibilities provided by their vast arsenal of electronic gear and processors, the overall outcome has produced something well beyond 'world music' that is as darkly profound as it is unique.

Again aided by veteran Seattle-born multi-instrumentalist Jon Keliehor (James Brown, The Doors, Peter Murphy/Bauhaus, The Daily Flash, Emotional Response, Optimo Music) on suling (Indonesian flute) and percussion, Komodo Kolektif seem to have explored even more meditative and profoundly esoteric avenues than they did with “Sumantras”. 

Much of the material is a refinement and distillation of what has been featured in their live shows for almost a year and a half and which has been met with rapturous applause at the likes of Convenanza festival in France to Sonic Cathedral & Ulrich Schnauss' Ambience Chasers in London. 

Other pieces are the result of improvisations; experimenting with the Indonesian sarons, gendèrs and kempul on loan from Gamelan Naga Mas, a gamelan ensemble of which two of the group are long term members, to create new patterns that resonate to both eastern and western ears. 

Komodo Kolektif have received praise and plays from Hardy Fox (The Residents), JD Twitch (Optimo), Andrew Weatherall, Peter Power (Multi Culti / Voodoohop), Mark van de Maat (Knekelhuis) and many more. 

There will also be a limited run of Komodo Kolektif t-shirts exclusively available through the label bandcamp either individually or as part of a bundle with the LP:

Sundada

INVINC 22 Komodo Kolektif - Sundada LP [samples] OUT 27 MAY 2019

Komodo Kolektif make a welcome return with their new album “Sundada” and this time the motley quartet bring with them bass, bells and bucketloads of 303. The album's opening track “Disciple of the Drone” does exactly what its title suggests: it's an unholy mess of layered drones upon drones  sounding like Goliath has overdosed on steroids while playing bagpipes in an isolated village in Java where the villagers try to outplay him with increasingly loud gamelan, drums, chants, screams and a bassline that King Tubby would be proud of. The winner of the sound battle, however, is the Roland TB-303 which seems to appear out of nowhere, with no appareent reason other than to deal the decisive coup de grâce and end any arguments that may have been in progress to show that the acid has taken control and nothing is any more as it seems.
