these milanese maestros deliver four dance floor delights in their own inimitable and distinctive style

these tracks are fairly special in our opinion and we are very honoured to be releasing them as the first optimo music disco plate.noo are daze dasen (aka plastique de reve) and sami liuski (aka bangkok impact / putsch 79). this is a double a side 12inch single (plus a digital bonus track that we couldnt fit on the 12inch and still have maximum pressing volume). built out of imaginative sampling combined with analogue hardware, these tracks are phenomenally produced, lush disco string fuelled epics that fully work their magic in a club setting. this is modern disco, most definitely not nu disco.

optimo trax releases michele minninis tupolev love ep

limited to 500 units coming in silkscreen printed sleeves

from hippie dance to optimo. the twins are back with three moody dance tracks.

luca lozano, owner of klasse recordings presents this majestic 4-track ep on optimo trax. inspired by the past but sounding the antithesis of retro. in his own words.... the optimo trax ep was born out of a time when i was listening to a lot of old bleep house and rave, early 90s uk stuff. growing up in sheffield i was lucky enough to spend some time in warp records when it was still a record store and being around this music and the people that made it must have somehow embedded itself into my psyche. listening to pirate radio stations like fantasy fm as a teenager helped shape my musical interests as they are today and i guess this ep is somehow a reflection of that education, i wanted to make a collection of music that sounded like it was related to a certain place and time and in effect confirm my own identity within its context.

compass point, muscle shoals, sun studios, studio one, cargo studios, spaceward studios : all seminal recording studios. here in glasgow we are very fortunate to have green door studio which is a free thinking hub for wild, original creativity and great sounding analogue recordings.

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 next two optimo trax releases are from milan. this first one is four hot tracks from two self-effacing milanese maestros. *acido* is already shaping up to be a club classic and never fails to cause a commotion, it has been thoroughly road tested throughout summer 2013. the other tracks cover all idiosyncratic bases from high grade sleaze funk to spaghetti western-infused, low-slung house.

80s inspired synth / disco - electro - space anthem

golden teacher started life as a studio collaboration between glasgows noise punk trio, ultimate thrush and glasgows all analogue house duo, silk cut. the results of their collaboration turned the ears of all who heard them, not least twitch who after one listen asked if he could release the project on optimo music label.

two definitive dancefloor powers collide with some dark, space, psych-out grooves. dont worry, there is some melody going on here. a serious electronic feel too. the deep vibe of early acid house minimalism is abundant as well. just listen, and all shall be revealed. as for the artists…? well, old school meets new school.

complimenting the original version, playout have assembled an all-star cast of remixes to create one of the most essential releases youll hear this month. tigersushis joakim, new yorks com truise, and finally its the turn of the uks optimo, creating the perfect warehouse moment in the process.

psyche are a canadian dark synth pop act centered around singer darrin huss, who has made his homebase in germany. since their debut album >insomnia theatre< in the early 80s, psyche have continued to record, and perform globally nearly 30 years to date. their indie electro-pop hits such as >unveiling the secret<, >prisoner to desire<, >sanctuary<, >gods and monsters<, and >15 minutes< are enjoyed throughout the world. psyches version of >goodbye horses<, originally made famous by q lazzarus (as heard in that pivotal buffalo bill moment in the movie >silence of the lambs<) has maintained and continued their renown as it has been played, and performed throughout europe, and as far away as mexico, south africa, and australia. optimo offers a re-aquaintance with not only the exclusive re-workings of two favorite club songs >goodbye horses< and >prisoner to desire>, but also with two of psyches pioneering instrumental tracks that inspired djs and electronic fans alike.

organs of love are the power-sleaze duo of james mckinven (organs, love) and alicia matthews (vocals, love). james mckinvens musical odyssey started with playing synth in (kraftwerk, suicide-inspired) electro band berlin blondes. he then moved on to altered images. after that he worked in genetic studios learning from the modern day genius that was producer martin rushent (human league, the stranglers, the buzzcocks). then went on to form one dove and worked with maverick genius andy weatherall. after that he drifted back to where it all started, analog electro, and miss alicia matthews. alicia matthews has quite a different background – one from fine art and performance. through working together at the same bar and having many intoxicating late night chats, they decided to try to get back to a 70s theatrical, musical performance: where live music and art combine for something beyond the rock gig vibe. and luckily enough, miss matthews has quite the pair of pipes – a true vocal delight. the result is organs of love … who frequently perform live around glasgow and have quite the reputation of thee band to see. videos can be provided, but they are not for the faint-hearted! not that optimo music ever provide a dull moment …

originally released in 1985 for chris carters >mondo beat< lp on conspiracy international, >moonlight< is getting a long-overdue single release of the original and reinterpretation from neurotic drum band. a long-time fave of jd twitchs, >moonlight< was a hit in the late 80s with a much-slowed down bootlegged version on the belgian new beat scene and amongst the italian cosmic djs. the ny duo of ulysses and john selway, aka neurotic drum band, recreate >moonlight< keeping the original feel, slowing it down just a touch and ultra cosmic-a-fying it for an ultra-headtrip psychedelic spaceflight! as a special bonus, there is a digital-only remix from oneohtrix point never. its the sort of drone, dark ambient sound that fans of opns daniel lopatin know and love. bliss out… for those who may not know, chris carter is one of the founding members of throbbing gristle, partner with cosey fanni tutti (knows as carter-tutti and formerly recording as chris & cosey) and has been working with sound for over 40 years. for an extensive biography and up-to-date info about his current projects.

its early days yet, but things are going well for the london-based trio factory floor: nik colk (guitar/vocals/electronics), gabe gurnsey (drums/ electronics) and dom butler (electronics/vocals). and optimo music are in the unique position of doing a remix for factory floor and having a exclusive single release for it. ~ (r e a l l o v e) an optimo (espacio) mix is already getting attention from james holden, the quietus, and it was only mastered about a fortnight ago. the optimo (espacio) mix was made at the behest of factory floor an was done by optimo music head honcho jd twitch alongside his sometime collaborator dave clark.

the green door studio opened its (confusingly black) doors to glasgows vibrant music community at the end of 2007. set up by three glasgow-based musicians emily maclaren (michael dracula/the lady vanishes), sam smith (mother & the addicts) and jamie greer (park attack), who, sick of using other peoples clinical digital studios and being told by engineers >you cant do that..<, decided to create a musician-friendly space where >actually you can...<.

finally, jd twitch remixes >nocturnal creatures< from space systems second album!
