Optimo Music presents “Janara” the new 8 track album from Italy’s José Manuel. We always have our ears open for music that is unique, powerful and that can conjure up a ritualistic atmosphere, and this meistrerwerk does all that, and then some. We knew we had to release it after the first listen.

We'll let José tell you about it....



This album is a result of the necessity of exploring and opening my mind to new musical horizons, by testing the main traditional instrument of the Italian region Campania, whose name is “Tammorra”. It is a big drum, which must not be confused with the typical tambourine, made from a wrap of wood shaped in a circle and covered with dried skin (almost always goatskin or sheepskin). This instrument was used during playful events, especially during rituals and ceremonies, such as the frequent devotional pilgrimages in honour of the Virgin Mary. By using this instrument, the sound, the rite and the magic could take possession of the mind and the body creating a perfect union. Also, the dancers, as if they were bitten by a tarantula and possessed by a strange evil, launched themselves to an uncontrolled dance by moving every part of their body. 


In addition to the Tammorra, I also inserted some texts, which have been written by some Neapolitan friends and interpreted with Neapolitans voices, in honour of the “JANARA”. The Janara represents a popular belief of the Southern Italian regions, particularly of the Benevento area. The Janara is one of the many types of witches represented by folktales belonging to the rural tradition. 

The Janara was expert in medical herbs, which were also be used for her magical practices, such as the manufacturing of ointment. The ointment gave her the power to become incorporeal with the same nature as the wind. According to the tradition, in order to snatch the Janara it was necessary to grab her by the hair. It was also said that if anyone was able to capture the Janara during her incorporeal moment then Janara herself would offer protection to them and their family for seven generations, in exchange for her freedom.   


With this work I hope that the listener might get carried away by the spirit of this pagan and popular legend that can be still be considered as current. As a matter of fact, the folk tales speak of a probable comeback of the Janara, who after being burned at the stake seems to be thirsting for revenge for the evil suffered.

Released on vinyl (and digital) on 30/04/2021. Distributed by Kompakt.

Taken from "Club Winston - Guzzle EP". Out October 2021.

The UK’s Club Winston has been steadily unveiling a series of tripped-out club ready cuts via his own UKGEORGE label over the past few years along with remixes from the likes of D.Tiffany and Tim Reaper. Here though we see him join the roster of Spinning
Plates with his latest collection of works, an imprint that’s played host to material from the likes of SHKN, Neksha, Andy Rantzen, DJ Spider and Bruno Schmidt since its inception in 2015.
Title-track ‘Guzzle’ leads, laid out across five minutes with a menacing arpeggio bass lead, howling atmospherics and crunchy analogue drums. ‘Hell’ follows and tips the focus over to heavy doses of sub bass, intricately dynamic, modulating drums and intense swells of processed synths throughout.
Opening the flip-side is ‘Chart’, upping the energy levels with a pacey 4/4 drum groove while twitchy resonant synth lines, low-end pulsations and cavernous reverberations ebb and flow throughout. ‘Partook’ then rounds out the release, a cinematic ambient composition which lays focus on swirling, textural pads, glitched out resonant bleeps and fluttering low end hits.

Mori Ra_Gaia Edits

Mori Ra strikes back at MM Discos with “Gaia Edits", after the successful release back in May on the label of the “portuñol” duo, Da Silva and Dj Katah welcome again Osaka’s best record collector with 4 new high quality editions. 

Staying loyal to his eclecticism, Mori Ra approaches this time a lil more to the dancefloor by doing a more hedonistic work than his previous release on “MM Discos” , an exuberant “disco-no-disco” exercise mixed with ethnic references, wicked percussion, charming marimbas and an endless of psychedelic elements. 

A record done for the soul; spiritual, mystic, highly addictive and 100% danceable. A very special release where the Japanese artist has involved his son who helped with choosing the sound source for this record.

TESTFM x КЛМ @ PPF w/ Javelion — 03/09/22

Whittled down from dozens of live recordings made using a micro freak synthesizer, a volca drum, and a volca bass, synced together using basic CV. A handful of those recordings were then sent to long-time friends and collaborators who live across Canada, in hopes of them contributing any type of vocal sound to be incorporated into the recordings. Then using a walkman, a speaker, and a recorder, their vocal parts were transplanted and re-amplified in various locations in the rural areas surrounding the barn where the songs were created.

Though not all of the vocal contributions received ended up on the official release, their efforts were remarkably creative and equally important to the process. Those in order of appearance are; Laura Da Silva, Carol Graham, Kira Daube, Michelle Kissinger, and Victoria Parker. Long time friend and musical counterpoint, Scott Brailey, now located in Germany, was employed with mastering the final mixes. Constellation Records alumni and Toronto musical aficionado, Craig Dunsmuir (Kanada 70) constructed a reduced remix of a song not included on the release, but was the first song recorded using the same basic gear and head space.

JFM has been at it since 2008, using an SP-404 sampler as a live instrument for cutting and pasting tracks together. Releasing tapes and CDs in limited editions on friends' record labels around Canada, and while living and working in downtown Toronto. A debut 12" LP on Halifax's Divorce Records in 2013 marked the first official JFM release and a relocation back to the East Coast. The period following this transition was a productive one; cassette EPs, compact discs of various sizes, a locked groove 7”, and a slew of b-side compilation contributions both digital and physical were being released on labels around the globe. This release on Cosmic Resonance marks an important departure from using any samples or sampler whatsoever and instead focuses on connecting with talented friends who have influenced and inspired the shape and direction of this EP.

And then came the Visitations.

The fifth opus of the Worst Records library could appear as an audiobook for transcendental meditations. If the idea of trance-induced state is no surprise in the music we deliver to the world, this new album by Ricco goes beyond. The pair formed by Gil.Barte, head of Kump Records, and HLM38, in charge of house Notte Brigante, dare to offer a sinuous collection of mantras melted in light, silver dust and darkness. Each track navigates through ritualistic slow beats, drum'n'bass-ish half tempo incantations and other mystic hybrid forms not so far from Kode 9esque or Shakletonists reminiscences, just to name a few. The titles evoke a spiritual diagonal, from biblical to islamic worlds and arcanes, passing through persian tradition and obscure references hard to decipher. Several interludes, leading to the final Prelude, stand as resting rooms to drown the listener into purifying dark-ambient, where glitches of enlightenment and distants sounds from nature slowly disappear in divine drones. You now hold in your hands a keyholder to somewhere else, a sonic ally through everyday chaos, and spells to protect the soul.

Let yourself loose in enchantment.

WORST005 - Ricco - Visitations (previews)

Sakskøbing [ˈsɑksˌkʰøˀpe̝ŋ]- the first reference to this Danish town, which name could be translated as "the city of scissors" brings us 700 years back to the Lolland Island. 
Going through the vision of the legendary Moscow based graffiti artist Geka, vintage Scandinavian aesthetics blends with the idea of unconfined culture. Label honchos Sil and Ottuga redirect this reverberating wave to their own DJ devices, putting out vinyl releases since 2016.
