SHEE - Midnight Viewing

SELA

SELA (Jean Claude Ades Remix) [feat. Sakhe The Conqueror]

As Saint Sappho, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Zoe Young and drummer Tammy Dyson make expansive music that reaches out to hazy new realms, while simultaneously channeling the emotive pull of shoegaze, grunge and 90s electronica. Their latest track 'Fall Into The Lie', released on 29 November, is a stirring injection of bass synthesiser, industrial drums, spacious vocals, and hazy delay-driven guitars. 

'Fall Into The Lie' is both dreamy and defiant - ethereal electronics yield to a robust percussive groove and deeply penetrating lyrics. As the state of the world around us appears to grow more fractured by the day, here Saint Sappho muse on the slippery topics of religion, politics and contemporary culture. The song is both a warning and a rallying cry; when it feels as though your voice goes unheard and your individual efforts come to nothing, it's all too easy to "fall into the lie". 

Fall Into The Lie is an unassuming, powerful rock song that sits alongside the likes of Fontaines DC, Massive Attack and Radiohead. It follows on from their recent track End Of The World, the pair's heady take on 90s alt-rock, and the double single Too Far Gone/ Fade Away, all released on Optimo Music’s new Optimo Music Rocks imprint.

Released Friday November 29th 2024

Robotiko Rejekto - “Rejekto”

A1) Rejekto (Perfekto mix)

AA1) Rejekto (U.S. Dub)
AA2) Rejekto (Frenchbloke cover version)

Optimo Trax 30 celebrates a double 30 year anniversary; the original release date of “Rejekto” and 30 years since Twitch started dj’ing. In 1987, Twitch, who wasn’t known as Twitch yet, picked up a copy of “Rejekto” at Glasgow’s then numero uno import shop, 23rd Precinct. He was smitten.

Shortly after that he got his first ever dj gig and played “Rejekto” in his first ever dj set. Nobody danced to it. He kept playing it and still nobody danced to it. Eventually he gave up playing it, but never stopped loving it. 

A few years ago he felt the time was right to try playing it again and this time people danced to it. In fact, people loved it and would ask about it and shriek in delight when they heard it. There is often a lot of false nostalgia talked about in dance music and how it “was better back in the day?”. Well, in some ways it was but in many it wasn’t and 30 years later it feels as if perhaps ears are more open, or perhaps “Rejekto” was just ahead of its time?

From Germany, written and produced by Ra-Hen and Talla 2XLC, Robotiko Rejecto’s “Rejekto” was the inaugural release on the Techno Drome International label. With a powerful and seductive vocal sung in Romanian it has latterly been categorised as EBM / Techno but at the time didn’t really fit into any convenient genre. Twitch called it Electrobeat.

To celebrate this 30th release on Optimo Trax, the 12” comes in a  special sleeve designed by Katie Shambles and Andrew Beltran. As well as featuring the original classic “Perfekto” and “U.S. Dub” versions this reissue features a slo-mo cover version by long-time Twitch friend and ally, the mysterious Frenchbloke who was the only other person he knew back then who also loved this wonderful record. Robotiko!

Two track 12" (and digital) released on July 21st 2017. Distributed by Kompakt and Rub A Dub.
