The cave was pitch black, inside there was little sound but for the occasional drip of water which would send a ripple through the pond below. Looking down from up above, they wondered what lay in the murky depths of the quarry. What surprises might be but round the corner? What creatures? What comforts? What tricks? What treats?

That’s when there was a deep rumble from the ground below. It bellowed up through the cave like some loud drum before enveloping their eardrums with a might thud.

Then they flew forth, bats and bats and bats and bats.

Will Hofbauer steps forth for an EP on Will Saul’s longstanding record label Aus. This is a record built of playful bouncey house grooves, oddball sounds and fun. It’s destined to work a treat in the clubs with a silly sense of purpose and a tongue n’ cheek approach to the dance.

PREMIERE: Will Hofbauer - Ah! Bats! [Aus]

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

ELECTRO MONDO II

It’s been some time since we last featured a back-to-back set in our beloved mix series, and episode 167 comes to make up for it. Recorded live earlier this year at Venue MOT during a fundraiser for Medical Aid for Palestinians, the night brought Will Hofbauer and Zaltsman together on the decks, weaving a seamless journey of deep grooves, vibrant rhythms, and euphoric energy. This edition perfectly captures the spirit of the event - a celebration of music, solidarity, and community united for a meaningful cause.
