Manuel Castaneda a.k.a. Rigopolar is now based in Miami. He mixes up Italo, disco, techno and wave music on labels like Duro, Aeon, Nazca and Tom Tom Disco. He is a mainstay of the dark disco scene and always takes dance floors on a trip through space and time with his rough-edged but majestically melodic sounds. His new label will be a place for his most comprehensive musical statements yet, and the first offering is an instant classic of the genre.

Opener 'Purple Drive' is an expansive astral disco cut with sweeping guitar riffs and dazzling disco-fried synth work. It's chuggy and packed with stylish reverb and a well-treated vocal. Next is the twinkling 'Inversus Totalis,' which melts swaggering and dubbed out drums with twitchy synths into a sleek and far-sighted dance floor destroyer in the mold of ALFOS. The brilliant 'Melting Moon' is another dark disco gem that is quick to lock you in with its tinny percussion and rugged arps. They're backed with coarse hits and a pulsing bassline that forever forges forwards through the stars. 'Saturnia' closes down with mind-melting synth loops and prickly hits. The drums are firmly rooted, while splashy cymbals and vocoder vocals add that deep space feel.
A second EP is already in the works for later in the year and is sure to confirm this is an essential new label for dark disco heads.

PREMIERE : Rigopolar - Purple Drive

Following the success of Mexican sensation Iñigo Vontier’s “Dune Dune” EP, which Optimo Music released in early 2021, exactly two years later we are delighted to release a follow up EP by him. "Setsi" has been thoroughly road tested these last few months and comes with an Optimo Music dancefloor guarantee. We asked Iñigo to tell us a little about this release -


"Setsi" is an EP that comes from experimentation with samples and the idea of keeping things simple but memorable. The track "Setsi" starts the EP and is groovy and loopy keeping a mood all through while weird synths and cowbells come in to add flavour to the journey. Next we have "Weirdo" which takes the synths to a next level while still keeping the groove smooth. "Mental Letal" keeps those weird synths going and makes for a mental progressive anthem for the dancefloor. To finish, the EP we have "Oh Yeah" with a funky deep bass, hypnotic synths and vocals that recall Yello in a way.

Out on Optimo Music Digital Danceforce on January 20th 2023.

We’re happy to announce to familiar faces back to the mothership: Chloe Raunet aka C.A.R. has been a long time friend and made her first appearance on the label with Maceo Plex on “Mirror Me”. Dj and producer extraordinaire Patrice Bäumel certainly doesn’t need much introduction. “Four Down” shows the duo in a rowdy mood. There’s a very welcome punk-ish attitude to the song that is set to brush today’s polished dancefloors against the grain. Here’s what C.A.R. has to say in her own words: “Some collaborations are meant to be. I first met Patrice at Trouw over a decade ago and we instantly hit it off. When he sent me this idea back in lockdown, it wasn’t something I could come up with musically, but words came easy and the song wrote itself. Bouncing ideas back and forth through the ether doesn’t always work, but when you just get each other, distance doesn’t matter and stepping outside your comfort zone can bring about the best, most fun and spot-on results!”

Moving through the mountains, the car illuminated the dark road ahead, guiding them as they careered around corners and darted amidst the mist.

It was cold outside, they had been in transit for some time - nestled in their cabin whilst the glimmering white of the snow capped hills was reflected in the glow of the headlights.

The nights were long here in the thick of winter, he imagined it might all look very different in the summer when the snow had melted and the green had returned.

For now he was happy being lost in the murky white abyss beyond the windows.

Donato Dozzy remains one of the most intriguing and thought provoking producers and DJ's out there - making him a perfect candidate for a remix of Bas Dobbelar & Vand. This one delivers in mood and tonality as you might expect - deep moving dance music underpinned by intelligent sound design and a key understanding of ambience and texture.
