Optimo Music loves a bit of serendipity. We had been really digging all of 2023’s releases by Will Hofbauer, which ticked all our boxes, when an email dropped into JD Twitch’s in-box asking if we’d be interested in releasing some of his tracks. Would we ever!

Thus we are delighted to present 3 tracks of outer space bass dub designed for advanced danceflloors. We asked Will to tell us a bit about the tracks -

These three tracks right here are just a couple of Dingers!! They’re a bit different from my usual fare, so I’m super super happy for them to have found un espacio en Optimo! 

The first one, Diiing, was just a fun experiment with some funny vocals and faster drums. As for the other two, if Leech is a big old slug crawling through a damp cave, then Can Dub is a fun little skip through the woods. The enormous reach of dub’s influence is clearly running through all three of these, in my opinion, but defo in the last two :)

Overall, I just feel like I’m a massive fan who is lucky enough to have a crack at making and putting out stuff really. I’m super chuffed to be writing this little quote about this release! If you’ve read this far, I hope you enjoy the music!!

Released digitally May 17th

Combining modern production with feel and groove of the originals, this collection offers delight for both listener and dancer. Let’s go!

DJ Doug has been DJing since the early 90s pursuing a passion for the exploration, though  vinyl, of the groovy place  where Latin, Caribbean and African sounds meet Disco, Funk, Soul, Jazz and Dance. He runs the ever popular Feet to the Floor nights in Totnes,  as well as the sadly missed High Life parties, and is part of the RPM vintage vinyl collective.  

He has supported Mulatu Astatke,  Seckou Keita, Orchestra Barbaro, Family Atlantica  and Sona Jobarteh, & appeared at a number of  festivals including Camp Bestival, Lounge on the Farm and Global Picnic, and venues across the  SE: Jazz Cafe, Ronnie Scott's and many others

His Radio High Life show is on SoundArt Radio,  Soul Roots Radio and South Devon Sound. On SoundArt he also co-hosts Feet to the Floor bi-weekly with Georgie
