every moment in life has its own and special soundtrack. eclectic and in its usual frieda attitude the >moments like this ep< captures these snap-shots, transforming them perfectly into sound. the three original tracks, composed by ordinary subject, sweeten the party horizon with the right groove. >moments like this< develops an unbelievable drive and with the piano play from sacha ketterlin reaches an incredible deepness. one gets totally into the unrestrained celebration mood with >a jimmy<, which rocks with guitar riffs from 50-51. on the other hand, the >cansons charmed mix< on the >moments like this< invites you to dream. while most dreams take place in black and white, canson in his typical style, draws in the richest of colors, sending our souls into a foreign world. before he smoothly sets us back into our world, he manages to make us glide on a slow trip in which the pictures start to reveal that our aspirations seem almost tangible. last but not least, the >a jimi< is remixed by the label chiefs don ramon and san marco. their >spaghetti house mix< transforms the irrepressible rocker into a bluesy ride into the sunrise.

optimo trax is an offshoot label of optimo music for tracks aimed at djs/dancefloors. yes, we know there are too many record labels already, but we felt an overriding desire to start another one as so much music that didnt seem quite right for optimo music (i.e. music that was specifically designed for dancing) kept coming our way. like the parent label, optimo trax will release music by new artists and excavate forgotten classics. luma is a project by dave clark from glasgow. dave had his first release as a member of state of flux in 1993 on t&b vinyl, the label twitch ran with his dj partner of that era, brainstorm. twitch and dave have continued to work together in various ways ever since. he has released records as truffle club, and as big ned on optimo music as well as working with twitch from 2005 - 2010 remixing a plethora of artists under the optimo (espacio) moniker before fatherhood necessitated him focusing on changing nappies rather than programming synths. dave has also recorded under various aliases for r&s, numbers, stuffrecords, dissident and wireblock. the twentieth anniversary of that first release seemed a fitting date for dave to unleash his monster new club music alter ego, luma on optimo trax. twitch thinks dave is the best producer in scotland and endlessly weeps into his gin and tonics about how unprolific dave is, so was ecstatic when the 4 killer tracks were delivered that make up this third optimo trax ep. these have been thoroughly road tested over the last few months at gigs around the world.

emotional especial is the new label from the emotional recordings stable. a sub label to emotional response, especial is though squarely aimed at the floor rather than the head. in a similar vain to the limited 4 eps-only label that was emotional relish, it will merge the sounds and styles that influence contemporary electronic producers, taking in new wave, new beat, ebm and proto-house to create something modern. jamie paton of cage & aviary helms the debut release with bizarre feeling. a youth soaking up punk, dub and new wave, the ep acts at times as a homage to the sounds of new order, the the, kraftwerk and the then other-wordly machine funk emanating out of mid-80s chicago. with both timothy j fairplay and scott fraser aiding and abetting down in the scrutton street bunker studio, with keys, guitar and a heavy dose of space echo, plus hypnotic fx laden vocals from jamie himself, all propel the ep beyond pastische and make the perfect start to especial.

kraak & smaaks new album *chrome waves* is already off to a flying start with debut single *the future is yours* topping club charts in the uk and germany and getting the coveted tune of the month accolade in mixmag. featuring ben westbeech on vocals and with a righteous summer groove that has made it a big ibiza hit, the track is a positive and uplifting vocal house anthem at a time when much of the scene is going deeper underground.

this is the start of our path in the darkness, in search of the brightest light. rectoversion its not just a label but a life concept based on the notion of dualism thats the reason why we have an original track for side with their remixes, a leitmotiv useful to show the complete face of each of them. so you can feel the black and the white of these two tracks by alpha code & future 16, with reworkings by tadeo and area fortyone.

its a fact: plector 005 strikes back with a full techno analogue ep. as a starter on the a side, noticed for his ep on m_rec ltd and his featured track on plector lp003, stanislav tolkachev delivers two linear, energetic , greasy techno as he used to do. no loops, no break, just heavy beatz to hit the dancefloor in a dramatic way. a perfect weapon to not miss your target. for the main course, we can find fran hartnett, well known for his it was written in vapour track and the great number of remixes he did on various labels. he stays faithfull to himself with this two trackers side. astonishing breaked techno at its best. ideally to start a big party! as we said, since plector become a reality: just techno, no compromise at all

pareto park presents the first collaboration between george lanham and david meiser with the pair serving up a blend of abrasive modern techno and classic influences. the opener distress sets the tone and grabs the listener from the start with its moody vocals punctuating a sinister beat. lanham s cabot cove syndrome hits hard with a growling synth lead, pushed forward by a building siren. whilst rising entropy and co operation 1 both reveal the duo s mills influences, yet aimed at modern club play. a strong ep with the vinyl release featuring 4 additional locked grooves.

a word from label boss chris farrell: this is the new one on idle hands, from us producer strategy. i first came across paul dickows work when he released a 12 inch called *world house* on his own community library label back in 2005. it blew me away. in the ensuing years my friend duncan george who promoted bristol’s best electronic music night - under_score tried on numerous ocasions to book him for a bristol date but it never quite hapened due to the usual things that go wrong in club land. in those years duncan kept in touch with paul and last year suggested to him that it might be worth sending some tracks to me, which he did at the start of 2013… add a peverelist remix and you have the tracks here before you, dub reggae informed house and psychedelic 2 step vibes.

at the start, electronic pure sound (eps) is a militant association that aims to the emancipation of the underground electronic music. our common influence lays in early techno & house music productions from detroits musical pionneers
