It has been all quiet on the Optimo Music front recently while energy has been devoted to the launch of Optimo Trax but do not fear, there are a plethora of scintillating releases in the pipeline for 2014.

First up is a stormtrooper of an EP from The Twins. We first met The Twins when they were hanging out in Glasgow before they were twins and were simply known as Julienne Dessagne. By the time our paths had crossed in various European capital cities they had fully developed their Twin like tendencies. A mutual appreciation was born and out of that came the suggestion that The Twins might make a record for Optimo Music. The resulting three tracks far exceeded our wildest expectations and we are incredibly proud to be presenting this Twins magnum opus to the world. Haunting, forceful, transcendent music with spine tingling vocals this EP has perhaps a tad more dancefloor capability than many Optimo Music releases but is also a record equally capable of giving your ears a lot of loving at home. 

It was hard to pick one track to showcase the EP but this one is the one that has perhaps been tested out on the dance floor the most and always results in people clamouring to know what it is. The kind of track that completely changes the atmosphere in a club and often results in spontaneous cheering, it has been mixed to perfection by The Twins ally, Superpitcher who will be releasing their debut album on his and Rebolledo's Hippie Dance label.

Expect Twins live shows in 2014.


This will be released on a three track 12" and digital on March 17th 2014. Distribution by Kompakt.

Calling Michael Mayer one of the most important people currently active in the electronic music industry would be far from a stretch. He's the co-founder of Kompakt, one of the biggest record labels and distribution agencies in the world (being home to over 50 independent record labels). Besides that, he's a very busy DJ and also a more than prolific producer, whose total number of remixes has surpassed the 140 mark already for instance.

To be able to be active and competent in so many fields, he maintains a tight and very regular schedule. We spoke to him about that, Amsterdam Dance Event and his family life and you can read all about that in the latest issue of DJ Mag NL. In the meantime, enjoy this podcast and get your head into weekend mode. - C.

MARCEO PLEX - Heads Above (2kGroov'S Deep Mix)

Dj SaintPierre- Sonothérapie (cebbmix)

AEON and label boss Alex Niggemann are thrilled to welcome Denis Horvat back to AEON for another smashing EP, this time with the superb three-tracker ‘Minor’.

Previously releasing on Noir Music, Upon You, Get Physical and Souvenir, not to mention his stellar release on AEON last year, the Danish producer is getting his just desserts after years of meticulously curating and creating stellar music.

Here we have a hat trick of all encompassing cuts, and although bursting with the oomph you need for a heads down, hands up main room stomp, these tracks offer you more than just a 4’4 beat and a soundtrack to your rave, thanks to the skill and careful attention Horvat has put into each one.

Captivating from the off, Minor is a melancholic yet rapid composition of layered synth chords and percussion. As your heart starts to race, the energy continues to build with the track ‘DIY’, complete with driving bassline, reverb and effective distortion.

Rounding off on a high, ‘Cedevita’ brings the pulse back up again with another meticulously programmed latticework of drums, bass, and unadulterated dance floor decadence, with that added ambience of intrigue that goes hand in hand with Horvat’s productions.

Through this solid EP, the producer continues to create dense, barnstorming techno beats complete with that extra signature darkness.

The gathering of the Copied Cows in the huge court hall of the multistoried farming house made a remarkable impression.

Freshly washed and combed, cow veteran Breger opened the event with an emotional statement against law & order. Followed by Manu Ferrantini 's lecture about slick aspects of being a duck and Peter Groskreutz from the north, who did manipulate the organ to explore it. After swiss Bnsch + https://soundcloud.com/debalsommer did present their cattle-investigation about sunshine and mountains, big city calf Ali Een had her debut: the report about smoking abstract cigars in a concrete environment. A group of speakers firmed under the term Konfetti Klub Ensemble and the gathering was surprised about the fact that cows can be serious animals and playing the trumpet at the same time. 
However the founding members of Falling Cows were lying on carpets, after their completed excursion into the world of flying. Timboletti arrived from his exotic train journey and started to describe it in most colorful expressions. Next to him, the first cow member of his own cat-tribe Caterkarlos, did head under the roof and pointed out deep aspects of the identification of truth. Last but not least, spanish Cow Pilas balanced the preparation for the 29th revolution on two swing chairs.

All in all a mind-blowing conference!

B1 Nina Kraviz - Let's Do It

The Hemmann lasagna is ready! With a healthy dose of ground beef and sun-ripened tomatoes between the sauce and layers of pasta with a peppy salad.
    Once again Marek has two tracks with which he arms the planet richly, but also where the cooking spoon just explodes in the kitchen. The writer has quite a steam building upÖbut this music is just so filling, that the stomach just knows that there was a hole there.
    To prepare for this first album from the Hemmann kitchen, two long sides strike a tone with a powerful punch, breathless grooves with a long puff and an empire of sounds for the endorphin thrust within and without the headphones. This isnít a construction, but rather a composition.
    Exquisitely vibrating grooves with a hopping deepness, percussive elements together with a melodic party radiating in a finely sensed positivity. Itís as if you could together with Inessa and Gemini mutate into a bouncing ball. When his tracks begin to spin, that which happens to the listeners is the stuff dreams are made of.

A highlight track from Mark E's Spectral Sound debut, 'Stone Breaker,' "Oranges" is warm and buoyant. Jacques Renault (Let's Play House) gives the track a smooth edit, adding his own synth stab, cowbells and more.

Kompakt founding father Michael Mayer remains one of today's most beloved DJ's and a true tastemaker. Continually bridging genres seamlessly in his sets with a finese rarely heard live, he brings to life the blueprint of what Kompakt is on the decks. With a radiating remix of Apparat about to drop in time for Record Store Day and a full length album in the works, this could be his most exciting year to date. This exclusive 12" is available only at Kompakt.fm.
