"AVEN" is the new EP of the artist Jean Dasso aka ORSSO, also known under his former producer's name Yeahman. This opus (to be released at the end of 2022 on UK label Earthly Measures) presents a more club-like facet, sounds that aim to cross dancefloors, through travel and trance. We can’t talk about ORSSO’s music without talking about colors, a disparate cohesion, an immensely textured journey, and it would be an illuminating one.

On this new EP of four tracks, we recognize the sound range of the multi-instrumentalist, a very true sensibility for dreamy and adventurous melodies, even if he has, for the occasion, swapped his guitars for synthesizers, percussions and sharp drum machines.
Orsso draws a landscape filled with a new energy. Jean's vision is palpable, softening some of those annoying rules and borders in electronic music. It's colorful on all counts, but also finding back his Global Bass Music influences. The rhythms intermingle, transcend the borders, and we discover with surprise dancehall and breakbeat facets ("Almadies"; "Curruca"), modular soarings ("White Lichen"), or a delicious dub ride ("Plateforme"). A journey through many soundscapes, an excuse to wander elsewhere

There is also this strand running though it all, non-tangible, that makes us all feel very reassured. The party is never far, it depends on whether you arrive before, during or after.

ORSSO - Aven EP (EARTHLY018)

The french music activist https://soundcloud.com/ahlonne (1/2 of Curuba's founders Psycho Tropiques) delivers the ultimate sound design in this breaky & trip hoppy evolving electro track. 

RBR, what is it ?
Founded by french artists @da-iguana & @dokomodo, Reptilian Business Records aims to be an independent label of hybrid music, with the goal of promoting the fusion of electronic rhythms, organic textures, sound design and traditional influences, through the vision of local and international artists of all kinds. From tribal house to UK dubstep, from psychedelic cumbia to dark disco, from slow trance to indie dance, everything that purrs and reflects its scales, which squeaks and waves at the same time: reptilian music.

About the VA "GECKO BLASTER"
This VA puts the spotlight on 8 countries, represented by twenty artists from radically different scenes, from the parisian organic underground to the dubstep soundsystem scene of Brooklyn, to the downtempo and schnekno of Berlin and Frankfurt, swiss lo-fi, japanese experimental, or slow house drawn from brazilian forests, not to mention the participation of locals from the french southwest who offer organic jungle, dark electro or tribal slow trance... A musical diversity which has a common denominator love for psychedelia, distortion, depth of bass and sharp rhythms like the claws of an arboreal monitor lizard.

Optimo Music proudly welcomes Ecuador’s Nicola Cruz to the family. For those who know he needs no introduction and if you don’t know his music, why not? 

Nicola Cruz – Fuego Nuevo EP

1 Levanta Muertos – 4.57
2 Ripple – 5.37
3 Yeva – 5.33
4 Limon Pelado – 4.57



Nicola Cruz is an Ecuador musician. His creative process involves an attentive, careful search for the living roots and rituals that are part of South American identity—its Andean and African origins in particular — valuing its rhythms, oral traditions, instruments and the energy they transmit. “Fuego Nuevo” explores rhythmic forms, inspired in Afro-Cuban percussion, cavernous acoustics and distortion. A dialogue created mainly with a 606 machine as a drum base, following different combinations of ‘claves’ as a tool for temporal organization in these tracks. Percussion has always been my main voice, so I try to rediscover it every time by submitting myself to different rituals when composing music, like warming up musical ideas as mantras for a while before I take any decision of recording. In a way, the drums have always represented fire for me, which was the script to follow for this EP.

He is also very eloquent so we will let him do the talking here.


Levanta Muertos:
I've been testing this one for almost a year now.  I love exploring with different instruments, in this case the Didgeridoo (which does the bass) that is so rich harmonically, and the 'Pingullo', a classic two hole flute from the amazon, recorded by Julio Vicencio, eternal collaborator and mate.  It is so interesting combining this two side: synthetic modular textures with organic harmonics from these woodwind instruments.

Ripple:
For this EP in particular, I've decided to undust my 606, and part from there.  Rhythm has always been my voice, so sketching ideas through patterns of this drum machine was something that somehow lead this EP.  It's also a challenge to traduce such a 'square' machine in terms of rhythm cadence, to groove in a afro-latin way.  Ripple has that raw energy of some very pre-historic dance.

Yeva:
Not often I keep the same melody throughout the song, but sometimes certain songs ask for that, as is the case of Yeva.  I knitted around the melody, trying to keep it mellow but powerful.

Limon Pelado:
This one is all rhythm. I tried to play with claves, which is a very important aspect of afro-latin music.  It basically defines accents and somehow weights the song in one direction.  In a way all these pieces are one (of the many) envisions of afro-latin electronic futurism.

We are delighted to present H2O & GATS' collaborative EP, "Trance Illusion".

Taken from the two sonic explorers’ aquatic jam sessions in Berlin, these four tracks delve into subaquatic machinery and synaptic oscillations. Intuitive, time-distorting, mind melting improvisations recorded between 2019 and 2020 in Matthias Kanik's (GATS) studio.

For the first time, these soundwaves will be translated into the physical world in the shape of a limited Cassette (K7) pressing, inaugurating the Curuba Tapes series ////
