Clad inaugurates Grid Records, summoning an album compilation from close friends and affiliates, half French, half internationals. 'Improvisations' allows twelve different producers to explore and create in different directions that they're not typically known for.

Featuring E-Unity, Kevin Murf, C.Coiffure, NRLSD, Doline, MISH, Lastrack, Théo Muller, Solotape, Realitycheck, EXCPT and Troy Gunner, the record establishes a tweaked-out relationship with improvisational sound-design from the outset and throughout. Themes of hypnotism and experimental club-focused excursions are entrenched within the framework, with deadly blows of percussion, and stereo-imaging coexisting in a gorgeous realm of love-injected artistic expression.

A lot of music in the current climate can seem to be executed by overthinking and overpolishing. However, 'Improvisations' turns this on its head, providing a beautifully human feel across twelve, unique excerpts.

Tracklist:
1. E-Unity - Diva Encounter
2. Kevin Murf - Tramal
3. C. Coiffure - Tongue Tied
4. NRLSD - He Got Game
5. Doline - Mélastique
6. MISH - Skunked
7. Lastrack - Yamouriddim
8. Théo Muller - Sea Spirits Calling
9. Solotape - Microflux
10. Realitycheck - Unity
11. EXCPT - Place For Your Ads
12. Troy Gunner - The Way You Went Away

Stefàn Dubs is part of the Folklore crew operating out of Toulouse, and is also the producer behind the excellent Maquis Son Sistem records. Stefàn Dubs and Folklore have been pushing their own style of contemporary, dub influenced dance music spanning Garage, Techno, House and Jungle. The Spring Tones EP is a perfect fit for Trule, drawing on these influences to create something new while remaining focused on dance floor functionality.

Spring Tones

Stefan Dubs - Spring Tones TRULE012 clips

‘The Pulse of Iron’ an apt reflection of modern progression into the unknown industrial world. It comes from Naarm based artist, Consulate who has found a home on Pure Space Records for our 10th label release. On this EP, Consulate delivers four tracks of dance music for the dystopian with a slick DnB sheen.

Completing the A-side is ‘Spec 4’, a subtly staunch percussive track that is fuelled by acute vocal sampling, weighty breaks and a hypnotic dub infused bassline.

‘Here beyond man’s judgements all covenants were brittle.’

Tracks written, produced and mixed by Consulate on Wurundjeri Land.

Consulate - Spec 4

Taken from the 'Drums From The West' EP on Livity Sound.

The next drop on Livity Sound is the first collaboration from long-time label mainstays Hodge and Simo Cell. True to the styles the artists have individually marked out since first appearing on Livity Sound circa 2014-15, LIVITY050 presents fiercely imaginative, upfront club music across a spectrum of tempos. 

The supple, fluid approach to electronic music the two producers are separately known for feeds into a cohesive partnership, whether they’re turning their hand to dancehall-inspired, sub-100BPM heavy hitters or jagged, technicolour half-step tapestries.

Released 26 Nov 2021.

Will Hofbauer - The Blue Situation

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]

I Feel U

Will Hofbauer & Sangre Voss - I Feel U

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

Black Lake / Lack Blake (45719)

Dub Across Borders - Black Lake (45719, 7", 2017)

Like a fleeting feeling of the Australian bush, daydreaming whilst floating on a river bed. As the distant dialogue of the native birds continues on the surface the listener submerges deeper and deeper into the soundscape of one of Sydney’s brightest new producers. The track emerges from the water with Unpin’s influences at the forefront, a simple yet complimentary, UK charged beat with an almost hypnotic, pitched down vocal sample.

Whilst this track won’t be heard on dance floors for the foreseeable future, it’s true beauty is in the way it can move minds just as well as it moves bodies.

Control - Unpin (Finding Figaro Premiere)

Pressure Dome emerges from the testbed with a galvanized collection of experiments in hybridity and rhythmic fragmentation. 

Mechanically twisted dancehall sonics, tough club steppers and euphorically charged electronics combine to form an ionized trajectory of uniform motion. A bouncing and fractious ode to the wavelengths of machine pressure. 

Wanting to give back to the city we live in and one that inspires so much creativity in those fortunate enough to access opportunity, all profits from PDCOMP003 will go to Community Care Package, a free food delivery service, for anyone who can't get out or afford fresh fruit and veg during the current pandemic. Thereafter, profits will go to Caring in Bristol, a homeless charity providing services and shelter for those most in need.
