Optimystic feat. Xentrix - Crash Heaven - Offworld Transmissions Volume 4 (Offworld034)

Optimystic & TTB - Drop The Mask - Offworld Transmissions Volume 4 (Offworld034)

Words from Relapse: Music has and will always be catharsis for me. The EP has taken over three years from inception to fruition, due to various hurdles along the way. The tracks contained within represent my love for marrying the ethereal nature of Indian music with hectic drum programming, along with constant progression, which will hopefully keep everyone on their toes. I'm also very pleased to present my first           collaboration with Optimystic, look out for future projects from us in the near future. This has truly been a labor of love, and if even one person connects with this then I'll have done what i set out to do.

This track has been alive in many shapes since around 2006, when good friend Sarah Rochette, aka CMOA recorded these haunting vocals. Unearthed, resuscitated, and updated for 2018, Detached steps its way forward in a call and response style. Aggy drums are calmed by beautiful brass, and the bass snakes through the track progressing with time.

Optimystic Ft. Abstract Drumz, Relapse & Cmoa - Solar Search EP (OmniEP173)

EASTERN PROMISE AUDIO BACK WITH OPTIMYSTIC!

Eastern Promise Audio is finally back with a storming EP by the upcoming artist Optimystic to roll some dark mysticism into the heat of summer. His new Jakigo EP out on the label once again shows a new force into the Eastern Promise sound that doesn’t skew innovation yet guarantees full dancefloor madness. A raw mix of full on jungle and jaw dropping atmospherics is the result that will set the tone for a new series of Eastern Promise releases for this year.

Bristol-based producer Optimystic has just started to conquer his space in the scene when Eastern Promise found it just to provide him a space for his compositions which can do nothing but give right to his name. Teaming up with featuring and recognized producers Ko and Relapse, he crafted the Jakigo EP to heights which do more than just to the now established catalogue of the label: a small but mind-blowing trip that from the start to finish takes you to space, dark forests and pagan rituals.

The first track Airlock starts off where after many years travelling through the vacuum of space the decision is made to return to earth. An eerie and disturbing sweeping of pads predicts a feeling of alienation and darkness, where one finds itself far away from familiar surroundings and deep into nothingness. Soon firm jungle breaks set the tone to expand the look into the void, culminating in a deep drum ‘n bass ride with rattling drum works and bass sounds of machinery and mechanics blended in a backdrop of bleakness.

Watering Hole sets you back to our planet, although a feeling of safety and security is yet to be found. A tribe set up camp by a lagoon, a camp fire burns, drums are beaten to fend off the beast that stalks them. Accompanied by classical but desolate sounds on one side and tribal percussion on another, repeating chants against the sounds of a warm and damp summer nights reminisce of dark rituals being conducted. Rolling apache breaks accompany the percussion and growling basses intensify the presence of a looming danger that seems to lurk around the corner during every moment in this track.

Herald takes you momentarily back to some more lush, atmospheric vibes where serene pads are heard and a saxophone plays jazzy melodies. But then deep in the forest branches creak, and leaves rustle, animated by a supernatural force. Basses start to ooze in and as a thunder crashing through a clear sky, rave vibes set on under firm jungle breaks which constantly intertwine. From there on the track plays a perfect middle field in being a pure drum ‘n bass stepper while evoking a deep and spiritual feeling.

What began in space ends in an inhabited area where yet no sense of security is fully found. A village afflicted by drought summon a water spirit to bring the rains. Sounds of a ritual dance full of mystic percussion open up the track to summon, and if there is one track where you can hear a bright light it is Water Spirit. When it comes, the full serenity that it brings is soon disturbed by deep and dark jungle breaks that bring, as Eastern Promise always tries to bring, no good or evil but perfect harmony between the two. The Jakigo EP concludes in a state of perfect balance, in the bright light which ultimately remains ambiguous. What that really holds is for you to decide.
