The Twins - You've Got A Twin In The Attic (You Lunatic) EP.

A1) You've Got A Twin In The Attic (You Lunatic)
AA1) Water Coaster
AA2) Love Monarchy 

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.

Docteur Satan - Entity (Red Axes Remix)OUT NOW

Following their excellent Urgent Turquoise release for Om Recordings, the eclectic and ambitious San Francisco duo Tone of Arc have contributed their evocative sound to Roam Recordings’ second offering of 2016. Tone of Arc are comprised of Derrick Boyd (previously recording under the name Dead Seal) and Zoe Presnick … through well-received releases for the likes of No. 19 Music, Om Records, and Touch Of Class Records the pair have transmitted a series of moody electronic compositions that draw as much inspiration from cerebral post-punk gigs as sweaty, visceral dance floors. 

“Sundust” opens the single with its methodical tempo and haunting soundscapes, electrified by Derrick’s pensive words. The cut unfolds like a dream as layers of synths and vocal snippets build and vibrate throughout. “The Indigent” is a more stripped-down affair. A straight-forward four-on-the-floor rhythm, accented by big tom fills, creates the space for backwards pads and hinted melodies. It’s a mechanical meditation. Barcelona-based producer Lokier (HAKT, Days Of Being Wild) is also on hand for a haunting remix of “Sundust” that adds a commanding bass line and puts a spotlight on the vocal. Its steady forward motion is hypnotic in effect, intensifying the brain-to-feet aspect of Tone of Arc’s music.

After a brief wander ‘round the garden, Chilean-born Ricardo Tobar returns to the ESP Institute bearing earthly delights. With 2017’s 'Liturgia', he introduced his creative point of view — instantly substantiating a sense of rhythm that was deliberately complex yet slightly rough around the edges, while touching upon his musical origins from the guitar-driven corners of psychedelia — however with his debut 2xLP 'Continuidad', he leaves us gobsmacked and seeking shelter as he leaps from dancefloor comforts and descends into absolute chaos (in more ways than one). Emotionally, the artist has crossed all previously self-imposed and subconscious thresholds, putting his true imagination on display and exposing an unwavering attraction to all things loud, orgasmic and transcendent. He’s not subtly hinting at a fetish, but opening his arms wide with conviction, abandoning genre taboos and personally inviting everyone to join his enchanted caravan. Sonically, his appetite for intensity is clear throughout — epic chord changes, ascending peaks in arrangement, accumulating layers of grit that build into impenetrable blankets of distortion and feedback — a kind of aural hedonism that translates visually into the potent video abstractions our Mario Hugo has summoned for the album’s packaging. The first single surrounding the 'Continuidad' album is 'Birds (Continuación)', a glorious extension of the album track that conjures imagery of shaman-led rainforest exploration and illustrates the artist’s affinity for Latin-American percussion. The flipside is an exclusive non-album cut 'La Venida Del Mar', a bonafide big room thumper that carries all the rave seasonings we’ve come to crave from Tobar.

Bristol badness incoming as @lurka lands on @wisdomteeth-uk with new three-track EP 'Stay Let's Together'. B2 cut 'Bodied' eases in with temperate percussive hits before collapsing into screwface territory with a seismic, warped bassline. Resonant chords then add a new dimension to the mix.

Premiere: Lurka 'Bodied'

There was a low end rumble as the music began to trickle downstairs and into the basement. Gathered in the cellar there was a small crowd, amidst the fog and dust they began to dance in time with the flurries of percussion and the twinge of electronics which echoed deep into the night. They would be here for a long time, a unit inspired by the deep, sophisticated roar of each element. Their feet would move in time, back and forth, again and again. 

Flippen Disks is a new record label to emerge from Amsterdam, the imprint is run by Monty who also appears on the debut EP. He delivers one solo track and one collaborative effort alongside PTDD for a release which is distinguished and intelligent. The EP features forward thinking percussion and danceable material whilst is also hugely listenable and unique. 

This one is special.

Etch - Hearth Transplant [SECRET RAVE 05 3X12"]

In the fitness studio a lycra-clad, sweat band-adorned crowd readied themselves to sweat away the stresses of the day. In single file they made their way into the room, greeted by the loud vibrations reverbarating from the speakers in each corner. The windows of the room slowly began to cloud up as bodies began to writhe around the room, losing control in time to the rhythms of the music. There was never any clock watching during these sessions, this was a different kind of work out.

The second instalment of the Sameheads’ bi-annual compilation series puts the spotlight on the artists who frequent the Berlin-based "bar/club/playground/space/collective/cult/whatever’s musical mavericks". The EP features tracks from An-i, Franz Scala, Alexander Arpeggio & Marlene Stark, Epsilove & Ohlandy, Anklepants and Umlaut! who deliver a bunch of oddball bangers.

The stars were sparkling brighter than ever tonight; a thick fog had hung in the air recently and they had become something of a distant memory. He dragged his telescope over to the window and gazed up at the sky above. On nights like this he would allow his imagination to run wild; to think of other life forms that may be looking back down at him from some far flung planet. 

The next release on Istanbul-based label Sitdownandance comes from local DJ, producer and label co-founder Dogukan Acar AKA Fluctuosa. Titled Carbon chauvinism, the record is based around the same subject - a new word meant to disparage the assumption that the chemical processes of extraterrestrial life must be constructed primarily from carbon, because its properties are far superior to other elements. The concept runs through the track names from 'Organic Compounds' and 'Silicates' to our pick 'Graphite Cube', while the sonic influences throughout the release call on Fluctuosa's influences in braindance and Drexciyan electro.

PREMIERE: Fluctuosa - Graphite Cube [Sitdownandance]

Possessed (feat. Peaches) (Nathan Micay's Energize Therapy Remix)

His thoughts were stuck, they repeated and rephrased in an endless loop without change. It's as if his brain was set in some sort of thick wax which cemented his being to the spot. He didn't know how to escape but dear god he would fight them until the death. Looking out over the lazy river he watched as the boats sailed gently upon the waves. Flicker, flash. Another thought. He watched as sailors navigated the murky waters and weaved a pattern with their majestic vessels. Flicker, flash. Another thought. The brain wax was thick now. 

Roy Blues is set to release a new EP on Gallery, a recently launched record label with a promising future. Due for release later this year it's a record which is as pensive as it is club ready.

PREMIERE: Roy Blues - Brain Wax [Gallery]

A white bench stood perched on the clifftop, a perfect viewing point to take in the sea and sky ahead. This was his favourite place to be with his thoughts. Aside from the winds that whispered softly overhead, there was only silence. Total peace. It had yet to be discovered by the keen dog walkers and family picnicers, but nothing remained untapped forever. For now though, it would be his little secret. 

Next up on Never Ready Records release schedule is the first long player from Deep Sky Objects (DSO), the moniker of Stillcold Records founder Andrew Doubek and Alexander Dennis aka Eprom & one half of Shades. Having first met in 2005, their long running dialogue led to an EP in 2011 on Doubek's label and spawned their DSO project, which has been slowly coming to life over the last 10 years. The result is their self-titled LP that explores the duo's shared love of astronomy, Detroit techno, UK rave and soundsystem culture, through densely layered rhythms, broken bass, pulsating drum work and analogue synths.

There was a playful sense of experimentation in the lab that day. Some watched with eager glee at the prospect that something might pop, bang or explode at any given moment whilst others were slightly more hesitant. This was a day in which they would practise abstract chemistry, a day that teachers dreaded with power and might for the risk that a pupil might set fire to the building and bring it all tumbling down. Those who were mischievous relished in the wild notion of the experiments and lived for the fallout to come. 

Aubrey is a longstanding UK based producer who has released a prominent back catalogue across many years. Dream Diary is a collective of producers and dj's with a passion for electronic music. Brixton based the label is a certified authority on the best in the genre. This latest EP is a beautiful assortment of delicate dubbed out textures and wild soundscapes. A real treat.
