Marina And The Diamonds - Froot (Oliver Nelson Remix)

The Mahaki tribe gathered around the ancient stones amidst the African trees. These last few days had been a celebration of the change in the seasons, the sands had begun to blow, the dusty winds swept through the air on the breeze. They raised their hands to the skies above and began to chant, one drum banged and banged and banged. The wind grew stronger and their voices carried far and wide. 

PREMIERE: Djuma Soundsystem & Yann Coppier feat King Ayisoba - Anyimu [Crosstown Rebels]

Every few months I compile some of my favourite discoveries into a new mix joining the dot between catwalk and dancefloor.
Not quite what I play in clubs and parties, but close enough with much emphasis on emotion so you can chill, work, train or even dance to it with your loved one(s).

Fresh from launching his '909 Till Infinity with Option 4' and making a distinctive impression at BPM - he was identified as one of the key breakthrough acts of the Mexican festival - MANIK returns to Ovum with more visceral, physical slabs of tech funk. Coming from his upcoming Recourse EP, premiering here today is Los Angeles Dub, a fat, rolling house stunner that's heavy on the classic Chicago tip. 

MANIK' diverse production sound is somewhere between classic house, techno, acid, and a bit of funk & disco- never pigeonholed- he is a true Music Producer/Songwriter/DJ who’s tastes reach beyond the dance-floor. It is a sound that has brought MANIK to renowned venues such as Panorama Bar Berlin, Womb Tokyo, Fabric London, Verboten NY,Q Nightclub Seattle, and has filled clubs in almost one hundred cities across the globe.

Recourse EP is released on Ovum on March 11th

Luke Slater (aka LB Dub Corporation, Planetary Assault Systems, Krispy Krouton, Lloyd Owes Me A Packet, Deputy Dawg and Earnest Honest, amongst others) is back with a very special double remix EP of Josh Wink's "Denial". Luke splits up his multiple personalities with two reworks coming in from his better known aliases, LB Dub Corporation and Planetary Assault Systems.

Three years of silence since LB's Unknown Origin album on Ostgut Ton have now been broken with his relentless 8.5 minute spin on "Denial". Stark in contrast to Planetary's heavily mechanical take which opens the release, the "LB Dub Corporation Mix" is set apart by its analogue loops and undulating groove. Mr. Slater shows off his schizophrenic talent(s) with this remix EP of forward-thinking, floor-focused machine music – providing a heavy remix package that needn't include any more artists to cause an absolute ruckus. A warmly welcomed return to one of techno's seasoned pros.

Set your alarms for the digital release on 25th March via Ovum, and the vinyl format dropping tomorrow.

An alumna of the 2011 Red Bull Music Academy in Madrid, Maya Medvesek AKA Nightwave has kept busy in the years since, running her own Nightrave party series in Glasgow and launching the Heka Trax imprint with her “Luxor” EP plus additional releases from Big Dope P and Blastto. The latest Heka Trax release is by Glaswegian R&B duo Bossy Love, out on Friday, March 11, and their “Bossy Love” single is another example of Nightwave’s keen A+R ear, while her remix, premiered here, showcases her significant and consistent production skills.

The original “Bossy Love” is a finger-snapping slow jam featuring a luscious vocal turn from vocalist Amandah Wilkinson over John Baillie Jr.’s stuttering pop production, but Nightwave extracts the dominant lyrical boast - “Ain’t nobody better than me” - and flips it into an insistent hook. Burbling synths circle the vocal until you’re completely convinced of its truth, and additional rhythmic filigrees lift it further into dance floor bliss before an affecting piano outro. Amandah’s assertion that “We’re making gold, son” certainly applies to Nightwave’s work here.

Junto Club - Warm Me Up 12" EP

Glasgow's Junto Club return with their second EP. In their own words...

This is the second in our planned trilogy of Junto Club EPs. If the first was the birth of the Junto Club, this is the middle-aged existential crisis. 

We've followed the same ethos as the first EP, allowing the music to develop organically rather than being restricted by considerations of genre.  Naturally, this was shaped by our experiences of the first EP. 

While the first EP developed through our experimentation with new sounds behind closed doors, this EP was the result of our attempts to retrospectively understand those creations and the interpretations of others. These reflections were mixed with our reimagining of those discoveries and our experiences of their live performance. 

Warm Me Up is not the same as the Junto Club EP because those virgin sessions can never be recreated. Nor should they be. This is the middle aged existential crisis of the Junto Club. And we hope you enjoy dancing to it. 

Four track 12" EP (and digital release) released on April 29th 2016. Distributed by Kompakt.

After the success of their debut split EP with Muslimgauze which sold out in record time, the southern Italian male/female duo Underspreche return to Optimo Trax for their first EP in their own right. Three tracks of deliciously psychedelic, advanced techno grooves filled with subtle syncopations and head melting sound design. First release in the new Optimo Trax colour scheme.

Optimo Music is happy to present the second full-length from The Golden Filter, STILL // ALONE.

After relocating to London and playing shows around Europe for a year and a half, self-imposed pariahs Penelope Trappes and Stephen Hindman delved into creating a two-sided existential opus by renting out old studio spaces around the UK and using mostly analog 80's instruments, machines and effects.

An album about being in love with pure solitude, when STIILL // ALONE is separated into two distinct sides, record one, STILL, is a hypnotic meditation for the nightclub. Wavy patterns of sound and light bounce off Penelope's literary vocal bursts, layered over ominous deep synths and arpeggiators, held together only by strict 4/4 beats. The rhythm, ironically forcing the body to move, however internally focused and mindful, still.

Record two, ALONE, takes the club offline and into the fringes of raw, odd pop. Ever-prominent drum machine beats rule, while love and loss permeate the four atmospheric goth songs. Music for dancing alone.

"Behind the cotton wool is hidden a pattern... the whole world is a work of art... there is no Shakespeare... no Beethoven... no God; we are the words; we are the music; we are the thing itself." - Virginia Woolf

Optimo Music presents "Miracle Steps (Music from the Fourth World 1983 - 2017)", a 2 x LP compilation of Fourth World music compiled by JD Twitch & Fergus Clark. Also available as a digital release. 

This compilation had been on the label’s to do list for ages but it was only when Twitch and Glasgow’s Fergus Clark started crossing swords over what actually constituted Fourth World music that the project really got going. Twitch decided that co-compiling the release with someone who had a slightly different take on things might make for a more interesting finished release, and so it came to pass that a cohesively thrilling compilation quickly materialised as each of them drew from a wealth of different artists and eras.


For the uninitiated, here’s an extract from Fergus Clark’s sleeve notes honing in on how the term Fourth World (an idea conjured up by Jon Hassell in the early 80s) might be defined -


“What we have attempted to gather across this compilation is a body of work which we feel directly resonates with both the literal definition of ‘Fourth World’ music and indeed our own interpretation of this unique sonic vision; from the work of the late Jorge Reyes, a Mexican musician who combined pre-hispanic instruments with synthesisers and digital sampling, through to the work of organic ambient ensemble O Yuki Conjugate. There are tracks which utilise custom, home-made instruments and there are tracks built from scratch using the latest in digital technology, but the undercurrent tying each piece together is this deeply personal feeling of intrigue and mysterious elation. Strange and unparalleled, this feeling manages to eschew geographic borders and rigid genre movements in favour of something which manages to evoke an inner sanctum, a musical private place for both reflection and assessment. This is music grounded in nor the past nor the present, music which manages to sound futuristic yet remarkably nostalgic. “


JD Twitch is one half of Glasgow’s Optimo (Espacio) and runs the Optimo Music and Optimo Trax labels.

Fergus Clark is a writer, occasional DJ and avid music fan. He is a founding member of the music and art collective 12th Isle.

The 2 x LP version will be housed in a gatefold sleeve designed by the redoubtable Glasgow based visual artists Al White & Jamie Johnson.

Released on vinyl (and digital) on April 14th 2017. Distributed by Kompakt.

Not your ordinary mix by one of our favorites and longtime friend: JG Wilkes. Follow Jonnie, stripped down to the waist and fueled by coffee and bananas, on a musical voyage through the various stages of the night. Nothing is easy or predictable, and in bona fide Optimo style JG veers off deep into leftfield, steering clear of dogma while transcending genres to bring you more than a mix - an experience.
