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.

the cover of laguna verde ep shimmers in a turquoise and dark greenish tone, letting us reminisce about our sweet memories of one of the best and hottest summers ever: smalltown collective delivers their second schallbox single, a deep and melancholic techhouse track, that seems almost timeless in its original near-9-minute version. then there are the prestigious remixes, lining up seamlessly on this release: a groove-teeming version coming courtesy of the chosen two and even two different fulminant versions by cocoon darling sven tasnadi! so, as you can see, theres strictly nothing getting in the way of a musical visit to bolivias laguna verde!

hip hop did not develop in a vacuum - its roots can be traced back to the earliest afro-american music, and the folks who were influenced by these sounds along the way. this lp compiles some of the great recordings that showcase the spoken word and street culture put forth from the 1920s through the 1960s that would go on to influence the entire rap music genre. the themes will be familiar - religion, politics, black experience, badass gangsta rap, speed, sex, drugs and rock n roll. lets listen to the lessons that the hipsters of the past taught the rappers of today.

way down into south america deepness theres a city named cordoba. inside this city dwell the rationalism family and thru this family members imaginary, beats of all sorts are evoked, thus came crudeza cordobesa a superb compilation, including four proper argentinian gentlemen and one amazing paraguayan

i will never forget the many dancefloor dates my friends and i had with harry romero back in the late 90s and early naughties. nobody turned out beats like *choo choo*. cro-magnon, erectus, tania, night at the black, suck my clock, beats vol. 1 & 2, mas pito (as mongobonix), the list goes on and on… each and every one a seminal house smash, played by all and still sounding as fresh today as they did on their first spin. 2013 is the beginning of a new chapter for harry, parting ways with his long time label group subliminal, after completing a ten year deal, he is now free to release with other labels, and importantly, return directly to the beats. already forging ahead with new releases on ovum (under his vaggio alias) and sneaks i m a house gangster among others, here he makes his debut on circus recordings.

the second vinyl release of hansehertz records comes as a remix collection with the right track for each daytime. with fred wendekinds early friedrichshain remix for krueger & leus pour annabelle you can dance into the morning hours and start or finish your day. krueger & leus remix for marc raums talk about is the right choice to enjoy the midday sun outside on one of the countless open airs in the summertime. at the end of the day the spinning around mix for vincent rohrs die suche by just emma (new project of minimal lounge) with catchy vocals by matthias wittmann is the best way to start a frisky club night.

a diamond in the rough. echologist aka brendon moeller is undoubtedly one of the most hardest working techno artists around the globe and has left a prolific trademark in the electronic music world. his 10th album, storming heaven, floods us with deep emotions and a unique sound experience. prologue is always looking for new directions of electronic music and we feel strongly that this album fulfills the labels pursuit in a extremely exciting way. it will be treasured for years to come.

the first music to be lifted from her forthcoming sophomore album, zara mcfarlane drops *angie la la* on 2nd december 2013. in many ways an underground cult classic, zaras reworking of this jamaican psych gem by nora dean features former brownswood bubblers alumnus and new yorker leron thomas on trumpet and vocals. consistently one of our favourite producers from the house realm, the truly legendary osunlade aka yoruba soul applies his golden touch to *angie la la*, crafting an exquisitely sensitive and soulful groove founded on booming kicks and handclaps.

cassegrain & tin man are a deadly combination. old school acid lines programmed by one of the greatest masters in this field meet a super modern techno sound design by cassegrain, who have made themselves a name in the last years for producing some of the finest in dark and experimental techno. for the follow up to their debut release on killekill they have put together three tracks that are outstand- ing. high & low is a slowly swelling minimalistic acid epos of over 10 minutes length which proves the mas- tership of tin man in programming acid loops of eternal quality. 8 beats length only, but constantly evolving. no chance for boredom. the b-side starts with sex kit, a dark acid stomper with a chirping percussion which is well suitable for the peaktime dancefloor, followed by sand maze, a sublte minimalistic ambient acid piece, that winds its way into total dissolution. we are quite sure that this is the way acid should sound in 2013.

two overlooked rare disco masterpieces produced by soul legend lenis guess. when we met lenis in new york this year, the super rare shake lp *music is the only way we can communicate* was lying overlooked and forgotten on a dusty shelf. lenis had the tapes there too, so it wasnt long before we picked two of our favourite tracks for this killer 45. one for the rare disco and boogie heads and never before on 45, these wont be around long.

hvnxx is one of the most special projects weve taken part in as a label. some months ago the xx and young turks asked our artists to remix tracks from coexist. it was a big honour and also a big responsi- bility, specially considering that the xx is one of our favourite bands. the outcome of such challenge is a four-track ep that showcases the sound of both well-established members of the hivern family, such as marc pinol and new jackson, and upcoming talents such as round and mistakes are ok. all four remixes are pretty different among them, but they all manage to maintain the distinctive spirit of the original songs in their own way. marc pinol takes fiction to the good ol days of chicago house, laying the original vocals on top of analog drum-machines and a rubbery bassline to that suggest an imaginary collaboration between adonis and oliver sim. the elusive mistakes are ok maintains the tropical vibe of reunion but provides a warped atmosphere combining breezy chimes with static haze and a propulsive bass that boosts the song towards the second part of the remix. hiverns latest signee round transforms the fragility of missing into a soothing house cut through uplifting organ chords and vigorous rhythms fulfilling dancefloor demands without loosing its melancholic character. finally, new jackson proves once again his knack with nocturnal ambiences flipping swept away into a sensuous deep-house gem guided by an absorbing piano and a slow but steady groove. the release comes in an embossed sleeve with artwork designed by arnau pi. hvnxx is a co-release with young turks.

the lyon-based french label strikes again for its one year anniversary. in line with its characteristic sinuous way to explore the various side of the underground techno scene, the mysterious clft militia delivers this time a very functional and effective whack, with non other purpose than banging the dancefloors. londonian newcomer fundamental interactions debut ep offers two monster tunes of dark sounding retroesque techno. on the b side, lee holmans storming & percussive remix, as well as veteran legend aubrey saeis massive endarkement, finalize this release immaculately. a must have from the messiahs to the masses

one listen to the crystal clear rapture in the sound of bodhi(cardiff 24 year olds olly howells and luke welsby) shows a heavily funk-influenced take on dance music, akin to many of the uks current crop of genre owning electronic artists (see disclosure, blawan, bondax). the response to their enchanting, dancefloor-ready vibe is already demanding considerable attention, with a bondax tour support under way and the likes of xlr8r already tipping these boys for big things.

kito jempere will be a new name to many with only a handful of productions and remixes under his belt but that’s the way we like to do it here and were proud to play a small part in helping introduce his production prowess to a wider audience. the st. petersburg native came to our attention following an invite for jimpster to play at one of his legendary outdoor summer parties in his home town. a friendship was born and when the brilliant demos arrived in the mail, it wasnt a hard decision to agree to release them

since day one, radiq has been showing an affinity for the afro-centric funkiness and carefully-honed sound design of modern days minimal music. as in many of his previous tracks, all six songs of >vida noir< has this certain kind of unyielding quality - long, hypnotic grooves with muted kick drum set the stage for more emancipated experiments in texture and sound design. on >a long hot summer break<, for example, the effect is utterly obvious as kicking its ass into gear with syncopated drums and strain of warm chords before animated vocal sample slips in like fingerprint. while deeply seductive interplay of those chugging percussion gives way to delighted horn of >a-dieu<, warm chord and acoustic guitar of >calling< is perfect example for radiq’s masterful sound and texture. >machine codes modified< has rather restrained structure for him, but tightly woven drums speaks eloquently about its carefully arranged funkiness and dance floor functionality. despite their repetitiveness, its surprising how well these productions forming cohesive solidarity as an album. presumably, it owes a lot to wide tonal vocabulary which is radiqs hallmark - these tracks has something concentrated, vivid qualities. this album sits just at the edge of the dance floor, but also performs its exceptional strength on intense home listening. dusky synth and truncated surge of bass of >vida noir< constructing something dark, before closing this album with modulated afro-acoustic guitar and deep falsetto voice (by the producer himself) of >rondo<. this album offers up an engaging and comprehensive amalgamation from the inquisitive sound by the maestro

mole city is not in the tradition or deviating from the tradition – it is the tradition. after two decades of launching drums, guitars and pianos through the shifting interzones between harmony and chaos (moonlighting along the way with the likes of sleater-kinney, wild flag, elliott smith, built to spill and a long list of others), quasi are a genre of their own - they write songs in the style of quasi, and mole city is the quasi song book: parlour sing-alongs for the last century.
now in their 20th year as a band, and a two-piece once again, sam coomes and janet weis hand-deliver the double album/liberation cookbook/encyclopedia of kicking ass, mole city, to those of us who still care about well-built, homemade objects crafted with integrity, spirit, fire, and skill.

one is formerly the front man of a notorious glaswegian punk band, the other a meticulously precise studio guru with creative flair way beyond the majority. as solo artists they are a formidable force, as a collective they are quite simply one of the most exciting new acts in the uk right now. refusing to rush, they spend countless hours trying ideas, searching for samples, tuning percussion and tweaking sounds. for every mia dora track that sees the light of day, there are 100 that dont. this isnt throwaway club music for the internet generation, it is soulful, thoughtful and emotive music by two producers fuelled by an intrinsic need to give life to the sounds in their heads.

one max per customer! marks and cuts written on the body - our device of joy and pain. of memory, function, movement, ability... giegling presents prince of demarks debut album on their new techno imprint forum. most of the material recorded in 2010 shows the path of the warrior, his needs and desires that left traces along his way.

lph whites second offering picks up where the first one, by waze & odyssey, left us. that 12inch featured a remix by london-by-way-of southern-california house up-and-comer, urulu, who produced all four of the tracks included on this ep. left coast is an ode to taylor freels home turf, but dont think its all blissed-out balearic burners one might listen to while rolling down a palm tree-lined stretch of the pacific coast highway. every one of the four songs is a cranked-up, high-octane, peak-hour monster

>simple setup< in fact, this fine tune could have the capability of becoming a true >summer hit< – unfortunately we will release it not until september 2013. but maybe you like its loose and uplifting atmosphere anyway. christopher rau must have produced this good-humoured work with a big smile in his face. >save the energy< attentive boys and girls surely realize that we made a misspelling on the label! so what! more unlucky would be if we release a bad track. but christopher turns out in an experienced way what he knows best: relaxed deep house with a melancholic touch.>athens< what a rumbling tune! one definitively should play >athens< on a good sound system to enjoy its profound sub bass. and dear djs, please dont underrate it just because we placed it on position b2. played at the right time this track can work on the floor as well as the other ones.

it is simply impossible to put a label on the sound of be svendsen. well, at least one thing can be said: his stylistic open-mindedness is just perfect for open air scenarios! seriously fun loving – that is the way in which the danish producer performs his signature sound juggling.

honesty (aka honey drop) & daniel paul team up the first time on cabinet records while konstantin sibold remixes >atrium< twice. one in a cabinet tradition manner and the second as dubby house shaker.on the a side, bassmonstergrooves by honesty and daniel comes as a result of several night sessions jamming in their studio in berlin. lovely house music! a journey to enjoy at home or on the dancefloor. although daniel and honesty continue to work on the releases for their label slopemusic it seems this first collaboration has paved the way for many more to come also on cabinet records. first track for the next 12 inch is ready.. stay tuned!

luise presents one of her dearest friends: with lul#005, constantijn lange shares his impressions of the mystifying nature and culture of morocco. in orange atlas, your mind travels through the kingdom, as constantijn melts together field-recordings with his unique sense for acoustic expression. the uplifting *rote nacht* (a1) reveals the contrasting energy between the tumultuous city and the silent mountain, before gently giving way to the feelings of the exotic seascape in *essaouria* (a2). delicately, yet suprising as ever, acid pauli rearranges the warm drums in *essaouria* (b1) to let your spirit rest in an imagined, green oasis, before it is completely taken away by the lightness of the seabirds in *thagazout* (b2).

in 2011 jaki whitren & john cartwrights original international times lp saw a release on emotional rescue after originally hitting the shelves in 1982. the pair are now part of a remix ep by misericord and one-time internasjonal producer al usher, who supplies two remixes and a dub, while a spacey aphophenia dub to the track times has added for extra measure. ushers first rework of stay cool sounds like a 2013 meeting between a purple-clad prince and a young diana ross, while the dub version sees princes funk make way for giorgio moroder sound design. on the flip is a acoustic-leaning and inspirational this time, which could easily soundtrack a mesmeric highway-driving scene from thelma & louise.

2014 repress! sven weisemann returns to telrae after his very successful elapse/ light sway with another stunning performance, showing he is a master of creating interactions of sounds perfectly embedded in space and time. elusion is like a sleeping day that awakes slowly, by the hour, in small steps it pulls itself up but then.. folds up as if there had never been the promise of a new day. >freund der familie< are hailed in berlin as one of the upcoming top talents and let us say this... they deserve the praise. their remix is an overgrowing wave of sounds that incorporates nice distortion and grows on you till you cannot do without it.this is a perfect flip side to sven weisemanns original, playing the game in a different way.
