Electro - DnB (Sets)

FINALLY Optimal Prime are with you once again with a brand new killer studio live mix session for August 2013 with a whopping 22 cutting edge Drum and Bass tracks tearing up dance floors across the world at the moment. We apologise for the extended delay, as this is in fact the second version of Dub Cutz Vol 3 after a few technical hiccups caused us many problems, but this new mix we feel is even heavier than the last. This time we keep things fresh by including a wide assortment of styles nicely arranged to keep you all entertained for a whole 74 minutes. 

Optimal Prime are back with another new first play exclusive to this mix with "Step Off", an enegetic and very steppy but rather funky groove indeed. Also included again is another new (not yet released) track "Drift By" featuring legendary trumpets of Chris Smith and driving liquid progressive leads against a driving melody. 

Also featured as exlusives to Dub Cutz Vol 3 is a new entry provided to us from 'dBrief with his track Callsign, making an entry into the Darker and ethnic side of DnB along with a gritty but powerful rolling bassline. In addition we also have another exlusive by Kyrad known as Motion Cut, not yet released but finishes the mix off nicely with a groovy piano driven garage influenced track, and it is gorgeous indeed. Check out his Soundcloud page for sure. 
Please support us with feedback if you can and we hope you enjoy the mix. It will be available for download freely. Aways support the artists involved and check out the tracklisting below for complete names.

Optimal Prime Presents - Dub Cutz Vol 3

Here’s the set I made for my 9th year playing in the Fractal Forest at Shambhala Music Festival. This year has been a crazy adventure of non-stop touring around the world, but Shambhala is always the most important set for me. 

Special thanks to Blackout JA for helping me to create the “Oh Shambhala” song and his other contributions, as well as my amazingly talented friends who send me such great music, stems and acapellas to play with. Without the forward thinking creative music community, I wouldn’t be able to make sets like this. Everything is edited and changed for my own purposes, the tracklist contains all the major elements of the set. 

I sincerely hope you enjoy, all the best from me.

Tyler~

Optimal Prime Presents - Dub Cutz Vol 4

Ohhh, it's that time again, and OPTIMAL PRIME is back bringing you a fine specimen of a studio set bursting at the seams with brand new content and banging new drum and bass. We'd like to thank Mavamatics for his amazing attempt at trying to record us some introductory material. We had lots of fun finding new comedy recordings. 

Mavamatics (of Liquid Movement) has provided us with his latest track "Underworld", featuring a rather tribal and heavily percussive take on a drum & bass track, and quite different from the majority of music in the set. Kyrad is also back again with a VIP version exclusively for us of his new track "Moondust", progressively entering the earlier side of Dub Cutz with some very nice melodic DnB. 

You can also find yet ANOTHER OPTIMAL PRIME EXCLUSIVE production, this time in the form of our shot at Black Sun Empire & Noisia - Hideous remix. This is the first time though that the track has appeared in it's original form online before being included in any mix, so check our front page to hear the track on its own. This is part of the remix competition currently in the voting stage of Beatport as of writing this text (due for finishing early December 2013). Expect a free giveaway once the competition is over, assuming we don't win of course haha. Seriously though, over 800 entries, I can't see that happening, although we had made it to 19th at one stage in the voting. Any and all votes massively appreciated though. Enough waffle, onto the track list. Enjoy. 

Tracklist

1. Koven - Make it there (feat. Folly Rae - The Prototypes remix)

It was an absolute honor to do an official remix for the mighty Sizzla Kalonji. This is a remix of one of the singles off his new album "Born a King" produced by my friend Mista Savona...

This is a feel good anthem, a conscious song for the people of the world and an absolute pleasure to be a part of...

Sizzla - I'm Living (Ed Solo & Stickybuds Remix) - Out Now!

Producing euphoric, rave contorting drum & bass seems to be Tom Mundell's special skill. As Metrik he'd already released on labels like Viper, Spearhead and Shogun Audio before he signed exclusively with Hospital Records but since then he's further underlined those early shades of promise with his self titled debut EP on the label and worldwide tours. Ahead of a 2014 that's reportedly stacked with big projects he's taken the time to thread a dancefloor focused narrative throughout this 32 minute mix, made ahead of his upcoming appearance in Room Two on Friday 18th April.

Metrik - FABRICLIVE Promo Mix

It’s time to get busy and jiggly with the bass once again as Optimal Prime presents the eighth installment of the Dub Cutz podcast series (podcast #12). Dub Cutz Vol 8 is packed with a ton of fresh new material along with a few from our own personal ongoing production library in a 3 deck live mixup, finally bringing back some real vinyl (for a change) sourced out all the way from….would you believe it, Amsterdam, signed by the great Noisia and Calyx & Teebee themselves. What a great find. 
These chewy sounds will begin with the usual formula of uplifting and enrgetic liquid DnB, progressing its way into a heavy, grittier technical sound with the likes of Noisia, Mefjus, I Am Legion in addition to many others, before winding down into the mellow smooth sounds of liquid DnB. Expect an organic sounding breaky and technical mix for the majority of the set. Trust us though, there are some bangers in here indeed. 
We are always on the look out to support talent in the DnB scene, so send promos to our e-mail address located in the bottom left corner of the Soundcloud profile page. If the track CUTZ it, then we’ll gladly spin it in a future mix. Soo…onto the tracklisting.

Optimal Prime Presents - Dub Cutz Vol 8

Hello Shakers, Skanker & Movers. Prime time is here in an Optimal way busting out a brand new drum and bass mix for all who simply need to live off filthy bass noises, smooth bass frequencies and all in all, a general spectrum of DnB shit. We have been flat out all week, busy in our OP den organising and conjuring up a brand new list of DnB tracks for OP Dub Cutz Volume 9, and what an immense mix this has turned out to be. 

We begin with some new summery more commercial liquid dance drum and bass, before swiftly progressing into the banging darker and heavier stuff and as usual ending on a smooth tip, while we bring it all down a notch with some real liquid DnB. 26 impactive tracks line the pockets of our podcast mix and we certainly hope you enjoy them to the fullest. Also expect to hear another new exclusive from our studio in the form of a remix of Pheeetus & Bobby Solo, with the Optimal Prime remix of Back to the Lane. Not a track for the squeaky clean minded, some might say, a little controversial. But it's all good. You may have already heard this as it has been listed on our page for a good number of weeks now awaiting a possible release in the future.

Optimal Prime Presents - Dub Cutz Vol 9

We're bursting back in the scene again with another brand new installment of the Dub Cutz Drum & Bass podcast mix series. Volume 10 has a slightly different format this time as we take it a little more radio-esque, introducing some dialogue. We'd always enjoyed the pure instrumental experience but feel that we can get a bit closer to the listeners with this new approach. 

Music wise, the mix is jam packed again using our classic Drum & Bass progression formula, warming up a bit on the vocal and uplifting liquid slightly commercial end, smoothly mixing into a darker, techier and more aggressive selection, before ending with some relaxing liquid funk vibes. This month also introduces a brand new one from ourselves under the name Bassline Addict ft. Jason X, and marks his first official track with us too. Expect a heavier steppier and darker vibe from that one. Also in the mix is another brand new one from Kyrad who's now appeared for the third time and continually bringing out new and interesting music to the DnB scene. This time he goes a little on the commercial end with some nice bright moving synthy riffs and a catchy female vocal hook,"Kyrad - Blinded By". Also R-Monix is back with an exclusive freebie he sent us in the form of a bootleg "R-Monix DnB Bootleg of Way Out West, Don't Forget Me", taking the opposite end of the mix session with a liquid funk banger. 

Tracklist

1. Sixblade - A.M.C. - Strangers (Viper)
2. Kyrad - Blinded By (Unreleased Exclusive)
3. Sixblade  - Punks
4. Chris SU - Illusion of Choice MC Fedora & Stamina (Fate Recordings) IOC EP

Optimal Prime Presents - Dub Cutz Vol 10 (Drum & Bass Podcast)

We are back in action once again bringing everyone a brand new journey through the many corners of Drum & Bass music, mixing it up once more with a fresh new selection of tracks including more exclusives to this new DnB mix. Multiman returns from Mexico and is now back with myself (Hushcat) to join in on the conversation. 

This time around we seem to have a deeper progression of tracks overall and the mixing remains as tight as we can get it. A brand new completed track from ourselves gets its first play exclusive under the name Infection, going down the roller end of DnB tracks with a progressing deep bassline and some original dark style vocals added from myself. In addition we also have a few more exclusives from other artists including Mavamatics who appeared briefly in the last show with his new unreleased track One Nation. A collaborative high energy and uplifting track was sent to us from Distrax who recently worked on a new one with Sophistics under the name "Sophistic N Distrax - Devotion" which is currently ureleased and exclusive. Also Higher Level Records have kindly passed on their new EP [Elevated] which has just been launched earlier this month featuring four new DnB tracks, of which we have included a couple, one of which comes from the mighty Subsonik who we've previously featured in the past. His new track "Subsonik -TBT" is a gritty oldskool sounding Amen track with a slight trancey vibe to it, and what an amazing track it is, reminding me of John B's Trance N Bass Cd complilation from years back. Lastly Brando (also on the Elevated EP) is included towards the end where things go a bit smoother and purer in the liquid end of DnB, with his new track "Brando - EM Glo". Everytime I hear this track it seems to remind me of the Resident Evil save room theme ;). 

Finally I'd like to also thank Mike AKA Flexstyle who's kindly visited the studio during a trip to the UK all the way from Phoenix, Arizona US, and provided us with some killer material for future voice overs. Expect to hear a few in Dub Cutz Vol 11. You should check out his page on soundcloud for some awsome music too.

Drum&Bass Mix Sept 2014

Hushcat & Multiman are back with the Optimal Prime speciality series, the Drum & Bass essential podcast show volume 12 and this one packs a mighty punch with a complete new roster of DnB tracks for you to get giddy over. Our regular format continues as usual, opening with the uplifting and melodic end of the liquid spectrum, following onto a darker selection before easing off into a liquid funk and deeper atmospheric DnB vibe. 

We showcase yet another little exclusive from our own productions, this time keeping it quite moody and darker. The new track goes under the name "Waterfall" and is part of a unique collaboration with a fellow student of the studio where we get down to heavy business. The interesting idea behind this track was to feature a written poem of ancient darker history hundreds of years old, originally written in Latin, before being translated, and now recorded in the context of a loose rap. Also exclusive to the mix is another brand new exclusive unreleased promo track from the one and only R-Monix, the Irish DnB producer of high quality liquid funk and soulful drum and bass music. His track goes under the title of R-Monix - Taboo ft. Marianne.

Jungle strikes bacK (Promo Mix)

Here is the set that I made for my annual performance at Shambhala Music Festival. As always I have poured my heart and soul into making the best set I could, and this year, like every year, it was an amazing time. Thanks to the few thousand people who came to hear it live, and Rich E Rich / Fractal Forest for having me back to play, 8 years counting.


I’d like to also say thanks to all the artists / labels who sent me upfront music, stems, acapellas and anything else I could get out of them… haha. Without you guys I wouldn’t be able to make the arrangements that I do. Almost everything in this set is my own edit for arrangement or what I needed the music to do, but on the track list I have listed the original tracks instead of putting “edit” beside everything...


I sincerely hope you enjoy the music. I’ll be working hard over the next few months writing new records, and getting ready for next years tours…

Optimal Prime Presents - Dub Cutz Vol 1

Optimal Prime are with you once again with podcast number 6 delivering the second Drum and Bass mix in the OP Dub Cutz series. We begin starting the journey on a liquid tip, swiftly progressing toward a darker intelligent but techsteppier direction before finishing off a little more relaxed with a few OP exclusives. 

Featured in this mix is a first look at our latest offering, “Drifting By”, a lead driven liquid track of epic proportions with smooth live recorded trumpets (courtesy of Chris Smith), beginning alive but relaxed before progressing into a bass driven, energetic finale of a drop. Later in the mix we introduce a second exclusive first-play, with a much more ambient offering once again featuring live trumpets in combination with spoken vocals. Lastly we also re introduce the recent Allthingslost remix “Nothin’ (Optimal Prime Remix)”.

1.   Molo & Metro ft. Rob Veg – Exposure
2.   Optimal Prime – Drifting By
3.   Woody – Bandit

Mavamatiks of Liquid Movement DnB has kindly provided us with his new DBR UK remix which is definitely worth a listen, as he kick starts the darker techstep switch midway through the mix. The track is available for free to download in full on his Soundcloud page which can be found at https://soundcloud.com/liquidmovementdnb

None of the OP tracks are currently available for download or to purchase as of yet, however we are planning to release several free tracks in the near future so keep a look out if you like our sounds. 

As always, we hugely appreciate feedback and will happily consider music to include in our future sets in the DnB and Dubstep field as long as it fits within our current direction.
