after finding a kitten named lola in an abandoned rimowa suitcase, pearson sound (aka david kennedy) thought it only right to wheel the creature home and write a track about the experience. and that is just for starters – if you love the shepard tone and powerful drums then you are sure to fall in love with *power drumsss*. on the flip, pearson pays tribute to one of the uks best-selling confectionary products.

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.

he rothmans label combines an unlikely link between football statistics, some of the best (or worst) haircuts to grace the european version of the game, with jacking drums and acid-based rhythmics. the label dedicates its third ep to french striker dominique rochetea, with a various artists ep as strong as the back four of arsenal s 98 fa cup winning side. the nigel winterburn of the release is coyote s without the e , a squelchy and balearic groove with psychedelic vocals not too far off from dj koze mrs bojangles . aimes and scott fraser provide the ep with the composure of tony adams and the brute force of martin keown with their respective synth-led productions the kontemplation of kosmic order and heat for dust , while on the right - a would be lee dixon - drvg cvltvre, supplies the master builder , an ebm and industrious dancefloor workout.

we are pleased to welcome back the extremely talented need for mirrors duo back to the dispatch camp. here they strike completely on the money with the hard hitting funk-led *sling blade* and backing up the a side we have a heavy slice of bristol themed flavour for 2013 with *grapefruit*. both tracks present a clear nod to the old school and inspirational late 90s sounds we always loved (but never left!). need for mirrors prove again with this release that they are quite simply on a roll both as individual artists that make up the nfm duo and in their own individual right, definitely ones to watch for the rest of 2013 and beyond.

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 didn t 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. all four tracks were recorded in 1992. staples of jd twitchs dj sets at the timem and all tracks he still plays to this day.

klimaks welcomes the duo superjunk for their k005 ep

first release for the newcomer athens based recording label lower parts. tendts first ep slow years is a musical journey. a journey full of disbelief, experimentation and questions. nostalgic in the beginning, with slow chopped up beats, samples that play their part right by creating an atmosphere and suppressed bass that lie hidden in the back. as we come one step closer to reach the end of our journey the landscape starts to transform. the sound becomes a bit more static with intense need for self-criticism. melodies start moving spasmodically full of errors in a faulty random route. stacked on top of each other, they are trying obsessively to keep up with the flow until they reach climax, if they will ever do. 200 pieces cut / hand stamped labels in a printed recycled fine carton. artwork by tendts

later on as dusky, the british duo of alfie granger-howell and nick harriman have asserted their position amongst the top producers working in electronic music right now after releases on anjunadeep, naked naked, aus, and its sister label simple.

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.

major people is a new label from santiago salazar. the debut track *new beginnings* is more of a theme song for salazar as he introduces the major people label. modulating synthes can be heard throughout the track and the catchy bassline will warm any dance floor.
*technik* is a slice of sleek, contemplative techno that is far out on a late-night tip, leaving only a bouncing bassline and skipping tech-house beat to hold down the groove amongst the tune’s more ethereal sounds. on the remix, chicagos defend:r (ricardo mirandas alter-ego) takes apart the original to form a hybrid electro style remix laced with sub bass grooves and just the right amount of synths to take it to the next level.
this is the beginning of much more to come from major people.

last time we visited satta outside we have been blown away by the music of young lithuanian producer 96wrld who had a couple of singles with monday jazz and renegades of bump. we signed him right away and we are excited to finally share with the world his debut ep *private language* on 12 inch vinyl, limited to 300 copies. a collection of eight tunes that showcase 96wrld s potential as a producer and songwriter that embraces different composition styles, typically in a single tune. his arrangements are complex and give away all detail only on repeated listen. however, tracks like bruce willis can put any club to pieces easily ... test yourself.

we first discovered young glasweigian talent barrientos in 2012 via the always on point synthglasgow.com blog. his debut mix for them effortly mixed tracks from atjazz and matthew styles to loco dice, vince watson and steve rschmad and took the listener from the early bounce as the club doors open right through to hands-in-the air madness of a packed dancefloor. we loved it. he alsoreleased the good-time, sun-soaked sky ep (for free via soundcloud) around the same time and the quality of both his music and production really stood out from the crowd.
