studio bruno is the joint project of johannes beck as well as his friend musicians and producers. the concept of studio bruno is based on a one week stay at studio bruno in an old farmhouse in steigerwald, franconia, a lovely nature park in north bavaria, where each musician invited brings a machine or an instrument of his choice. the focus of that week is the common producing and live improvising.for the first record steffen bennemann (nachtdigital) and sevensol (kann) were invited. sevensol brought his tr-707, his monotron delay and steffen bennemann came with his field recorder. the result of this one-week session is a deep house track with a distorted synth line and a krautrock-slash-funky jazz track!

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.

polymath james leyland kirby must surely have one of the most confounding cvs in the business: he spent years taking the piss out of the music industry with anthems rallying against the (vv)mcps, he notoriously fell out with various well known record labels for reasons you ll just have to google, goaded aphex twin with a series of tributes and channelled his love of everything from falco (rock me amadeus), chris de burgh, frankie goes to hollywood and stockport karaoke nights into a stream of increasingly bizzare 7 s back in the early noughties. but at the same time he was responsible for releasing some of the very earliest material from boards of canada (hell interface: 1997), made a ruck of frankly groundbreaking industrial electronic records, brought new beat to the worlds attention and, in 1999, made his first album as the caretaker, a project that would go on to release some of the most loved ambient/ lynchian albums of recent times.

honored to present on this record another artist of italian origin, this is orazio fantini with 4 sensational deep house tracks!

the kicks started as a collective of different musicians, electronic & instrumentalists, that gathered together under one roof just for the fun of it, coming together and jamming at their own expense. a jam is a jam. theres no aim, no target. it is free from expectations and just like that the tapes piled up with no specific style or genre lines. whatever happens, happens is pretty much the attitude that created a label, not out of necessity but out of convenience of being free to release the more outstanding cuts recorded, regardless of their personal definition. the first release is from the curators and creators of the project, maayan nidam & alex picone. the record starts with the psychedelic tone of alice in the desert, continues to a still hypnotic yet down to earth 020 and ends with the stabbing butt shaker think about it. the next releases will continue featuring picone & nidam, joined by cool cats like aquarius heaven, san proper & cesar merveille.

it is 2013 and in this release we hear a totally new approach to sampling. a vinyl release of two artists. fitz ambro$e (cape breton island) residing intokyo, & ohbliv of richmond, virginia(usa). fitz ambro$e sound has unique influence from 90s hip hop and 80s soul, he is also affiliated with cosmopolyphonic collective in tokyo. from the record archives of his father, ohbliv developed the charm of sampling. the record is a 14 track collage of beats from two uniquely talented artists who transcend their individual musical roots. as if competeing with each other both leave the remnants of sampling material, and the method in which they cut and chop is truely an interesting work.

if chicago and detroit are the cities in which house and techno were born and raised, it was in italy circa 1990 that this delirious party music experienced a piano-driven coming of age. so far, so spangled. but while that may be the official story, there are other italian narratives too. take francois le roy and nanni for instance - two djs and producers from southern italy for whom, in the early nineties, the likes of aphex twin, autechre and air liquide were important, alongside the machine funk of detroit and the immersive soundtracks of the ambient generation. both artists are steeped in underground club music, and their new release on shabby doll records is a fine example of tough, tech-edged house. the *crossing roads* ep features four tracks that showcase their melodic yet relentless groove, they may be based in milan, but on this record, the influence of detroit, chicago and new york runs deep.

a special record originated from a special day. mr. gs spree to detroits movement festival ended at the notorious need i say more? matinee. held yearly in the backyard of the reputable veterans club the old miami and helmed by a promoters crew named visionquest it cultivates debauchery and fine music. back home, mr. g produced these two tracks with two djs in mind. unsurprisingly, they stroke the mind of djs. heavy bass, mean percussion, double bass, walkie talkie voices! what do you need more?

downtown party network released their first single days like these back in 2009, which quickly become an earworm for clubbers in lithuania, ibiza, the uk and everywhere else. the mission had to be continued, so summer of 2009 was greeted with the second record on eskimo.

the mysterious lord of italo hooks up with il bosco on the latest hot 4 tracker from red laser. a simple and dark bassline with haunting lasers creates the bubbling imagery of a journey through manchester at night. where are we heading? to the fukin disco mate. how we getting there? in il bosco s 10 year old ford focus with the fat system g. why is the underside all crumpled? cos dj emerald beached it in tib street car park. windows down on a summers night? no, theyre broken. kid machine rocks the quickest shit i ever heard him make with this italo-electro-disco smasher. the title track to a film score that doesnt exist maybe ? this sci-fi thriller gives bass line collectors their monies worth and the beats are seriously heavy, but my favourite thing about this recording is the glittering euphoric interludes that appear twice in the track and make the whole composition complete. his strongest stuff yet. yes yes yes starion returns with another cosmic italo disco bubbler. its the soundtrack to a film set thousands of years in the future about a pimpin robot called night flanger. he makes sure all the fembots undercarriages are maintained and well lubricated when hes on a night out drinking diesel and smoking aluminium too hot to handle. too cold to hold. dirty girl is a boogie electro funk jam from il bosco. a chopped up rare as fuck record. can you find out what it is? probably. if you do and you know how to contact the artist let us know... do not miss!

in the spring of 2012 yot teamed up with scottish born vocalist soom t (renegade masters). the product of this recording session? the first track on yot 4, the moody epic funk shuffle beat banger *the cure*. rising synths, tough beats and heaps of squelch all pushed up against soom ts unmistakable flow. a sure shot was born.
as well as vocal and instrumental versions of *the cure*, yot 4 features the grinding slow tempo burner *day won* and hypnotic ballad *g.i.m.p*. to record the ep the core four piece signed up a fifth member, multi-instrumentalist markus pyorala. it follows up last years *bitch bender*, which mixmag made album of the month, and drops on harmonia and losonofono.
