French Décalé records launching new sub-label Feng Shit Records. 
Born from eponymous LYL’s radioshow, this new imprint will highlight electronic and experimental music from contemporary artists. (Vs Décalé that focuses only on reissues). 
The launching release is a 14-track compilation on tape called "Castalia Drops". We took our project inspiration into Greek mythology: the water fountain of Castalia, frequented by the oracle Pythia of Delphi, were capable of inspiring poetic creation to those who drink its water or listen to its murmur.
In that context, Castalia Drops delivers a futuristic testament of club no-club music rooted in melancholia. A prediction of fourteen titles by warned visionaries (Epsilove, Christian Coiffure), freshly illuminated (OKO DJ, Dhakira, Explorations Silencieuses) from France, Switzerland and the super talented Israeli Tai Rona. It’s an ode to destiny oscillating from softening aural breezes (Eiger Drums Propaganda, Aloe, AM Khamsaa) to psychedelics rituals (Gavr, One Foot Step & Nitrate) and spiritual dance substrates (808Hz, Yolek, Antoine). 
The 4-sided insert contains also inspirational texts and poems provided by the artists themselves in their languages of preference like Romanche and Hungarian. 
The curation of the compilation has been done by Orsett & Fischer from Décalé, the mastering by Louis de La Gorce (from the Pilotwings) and the graphic design by the Swiss Martin Cramatte.

Hey this is Skwirl here to gab at you briefly about the records we have coming for this year’s thematic cluster! The theme is Nostalgic Wavs and each record has been linked to a concept under the rather large umbrella of nostalgia as a function of emotional attachment to memory. 


The fourth record for Nostalgic Wavs is Spoke’s endlessly colourful and spirited LP ‘You Make Me Feel Dramatic’ and it’s our Déjà Vu selection.

Déjà Vu is a concept that needs no introduction as an estimated 97 percent of people have experienced it at least once. It is categorised as a strong familiarity with a present situation or experience - to the extent of believing it has been perceived or experienced before - despite it being new. We’ve mapped it as restorative, present, unknowing on our Nostalgic Wavs map.

Spoke is a queer, non binary German producer based in Berlin known most prominently for their blistering hip hop productions that have become a fixture in the international, experimental, and non-traditional fringes of the Berlin Deutschrap scene. Spoke started their musical career as a DJ in Berlin in the late 2000s, amidst a cascade of grime and garage migrating from the UK en route to the thumps and stomps of the techno capital -  that fertile ground of cross pollination and the exciting rise of the German beat scene can still be found reverberating through their work now.


Indeed, when arriving upon what the LP for Woodland Creatures would sound like we found mutual excitement in exploring their roots in club music both classic and contemporary, pop and underground. A stint living in the UK some years back had solidified their love for garage, drum and bass and the wider UK funky continuum; and, this merged with a keen infatuation with stateside movements like jersey house, juke and footwork in the years since moving back to Berlin - all culminating in a collision of style, sounds and ethos that had been percolating in them for quite some time. 

The result is ‘You Make Me Feel Dramatic’, a punchy, short and sweetly diaphanous transatlantic club scene love letter born of Spoke’s personal journey and subterranean explorations which is brimming with immediacy, life, colour and aimed squarely at breathless sweaty dancefloor workouts. Spoke’s authentic filtering of inspirations and synthesised style mashups yields a record that feels impossibly familiar - like club joints you could swear you know but are of course brand new - and speaks of a producer poised to take the audience on a personal journey they might not expect but one that is kaleidoscopic, spritely, infectious, and just flat out fun.

PRÈMIÉRE: Yssue - Lawnmower Dub [YES]

Even in the quieter areas of the city, there’s always noise. It might be a couple on the other side of the street talking, a bird singing, or the indistinct shouts of children playing in a garden a few streets away. Wherever you are, you can always hear the music of the world around you. The absence of silence might be intrusive, but without it, there’s no now and then or here and there. Without it, you might as well be stuck in time.

Funky synths and percussion, moody pads, and a steady electro rhythm characterise Neu Verboten’s dancefloor-ready rework of ‘Time Split’, taken from Angelo Repetto’s upcoming four-track EP. Kamiokande marks the Swiss producer’s first release on Zurich’s own Subject To Restrictions Discs, a fairly new label who've already had several noteworthy releases under their belt, including two V/A releases and a split EP from CCO and Narco Marco.

We are going to pause operations for a period of reflection over the next couple fo months and are delighted to pause with a killer EP by super talented Glasgow artist The Burrell Connection. We asked for some words and The Burrell Connection responded with the following -

"After a 2 year hiatus spent masquerading as Alfie and Dream_E, The Burrell Connection moniker is rekindled on Optimo Music with a blend of breakbeat club excursions for your aural pleasure. 

We present four tracks extracted from the vaults from the past few years, "facilitated by hyperactivity and channelled by the powers of Ableton, dub delays, samplers and synthesisers by Korg, Roland and Yamaha." 

A1 & B1 written in The Zen Palace, Neukölln (2020), A2 performed and recorded live at Revolver, Oslo (2019), B2 written at The Southside Centre Of Aural Technology, Shawlands (2018)".   

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams, this is not a quest for stardom but the purest form of escapism."

Out on Optimo Music Digital Danceforce July 17th 2020

Optimo Music Digital Danceforce 031 - The Burrell Connection - Breaks That Strung The Camel Back EP

To celebrate its 2nd anniversary, Ola Radio is launching a series of three compilations, bringing together 43 artists with plural aesthetics, like Ola Radio’s musical selection.

« Ola Compile vol.1 - Bande passante » is the first in this three-part series. Its release is scheduled for January 14, 2021 (Ola Radio's anniversary).
The release inaugurates the meeting between several universes in a free creative space where downtempo, dub, techno, leftfield and ambient intersect to form a coherent and nuanced whole. This is the result of 14 artists of multiple influences, from Bordeaux and elsewhere, all driven by the same love and passion for music.

SIMPLE EXPOSITION are Insulaire and Blumm, two members of the long-standing Bordeaux-based French crew tplt, join forces on a new adventure, mixing their various influences to forge a new sound, hopefully crafted for the future. Away from the decks like all of us, they forcefully returned to the coziness of home studio and spent the never-to-be-talked-about-again-year brewing with care the material upon which they could one day return behind the controls of a sound system.
