incl. downloadcode ... unnatural, uneasy, unexpected. the great filter keeps you on your toes constantly, it makes your fingers tingle with anticipation and the hairs on your arms stand up from the tension. it is eerily calm and controlled, while it takes you to faraway places in the twilight, that dont actually exist. subdued, bright yellow light with no sun in sight. wide plains with an inherent structure that can only be illogical. unorganic sounds, alien voices, excited synths and sobering organs. reality is so mundane. the way we are now expecting it from krink, he does what is unexpected and stretches conventions somewhere around techno and deep house. the music is driven by imagery rather than song structure. the ep puts cutting rhythms over comfort and sound over beauty. like a focused dream, it is concrete and abstract. lets get found in the universe

ori alboher, a.k.a. ori, a berlin based singer/songwriter and producer from jerusalem releases his second solo album “1986”. after his move to berlin, influenced by the city’s abundance of scenes and anonymity, he returned to his very core. “1986” creates a genre somewhere between electronica, r&b, pop and ambient, blending organic soundscapes with electronic influences, exposing his fragile and disarming voice with modified human vocals, loops and beats. ori builds up melodic, rhythmic and repetitive structures that pull you into his music, creating moods that oscillate between intimacy and distant depths. like swimming in a pleasant ocean yet struggling to keep your breath… the vinyl release includes a download code.

cin cin, the label from fort romeau and ali tillett present their first release of 2018 and the 10th in the catalogue so far. lauer starts the year off on the right foot with two prime time slices of that signature lauer power™? sound he’s known for from his releases on running back, permanent vacation and as one half of tuff city kids with gerd janson. on the flip the golden filter follow up an excellent long player on optimo music with 2 deep technoid excursions. “blackspray” pairs whispered vocals with warehouse shaking kicks while “aya” injects a little slinkiness into the proceedings. sure to be enjoyed by discerning disk jockeys of all stripes the world over!

optimo music don’t generally do limited edition releases but when the golden filter did these extra mixes of “end of times”, the a1 track off their recent ep we thought they were too good to remain in the digital domain so have pressed up a small run of 12” singles aimed specifically at djs. the original single version is a future synth classic. these new dub versions take it to the dancefloor and have been tried and tested around the world over the last few months. they are considerably extended, dubbed out and add extra dynamics & ecstatic synth power with hints of the original vocal. there is a slo mo version at 103 bpm and a faster version at 118bpm which means the track should work any time from warm up to peak set. there is also a drone-apella version included too.

rogue filter. been in the scene for nearly 3 decades. allied with plenty of faces, wearer of many hats. purist hardware electro / vinyl only goodness for the b-boys n girls.

optimo music is delighted to continue its fruitful relationship with the golden filter with the release of this fantastic 4-track 12inch ep.

london based club night and newly formed label snap crackle & pop s third releases comes in the form of a dark take on new wave influenced techno from berlin based new yorker curses. side a kicks off with a hypnotic techno stomper another view which playfully tips its hat to early electro albeit through a visor of coldwave inspired guitars. together in the dark delves into even darker territores with ice cold organs reaching for the light through the grinding ambient yet groovy undertones. on the b-side inga mauer ramps up the dancefloor tension with her machine like acid rework pulsating and crashing urgently together in the dark, whilst the golden filter turn out a low slung trip of brooding synths and haunting vocals before cascading down the rabbit hole in a swell of industrial motorik beats and percussive explosions in their take on another view

do you remember adolf filter… the swedish minimal electronics/synth duo? the 7” “the other hand on the knob” (petit enfant, 2008) is now a cult classic… the duo were also part of three compilations on enfant terrible… and now after all these years there is this new 7”… not truly new as these are tracks re-discovered from the et archive… but these two dark dance floor tracks are still way on top of the game… powerful and raw but catchy too… minimal elektro for both the old followers and new fans of the style…

optimo music are delighted to present the second full-length from the golden filter, still / alone. after relocating to london and playing shows around europe for a year and a half, self-imposed pariahs penelope trappes and stephen hindman delved into creating a two-sided existential opus by renting out old studio spaces around the uk and using mostly analog 80 s instruments, machines and effects. an album about being in love with pure solitude, when still // alone is separated into two distinct sides, record one, still, is a hypnotic meditation for the nightclub. wavy patterns of sound and light bounce off of penelope’s literary vocal bursts, layered over the ominous deep synths and arpeggiators, held together only by a strict 4/4 beat. the rhythm, ironically forcing the body to move, however internally focused and mindful, still. record two, alone, takes the club offline and into the fringes of raw, odd pop.

the first split ep on optimo trax!

music for nightclubs and far beyond

minimalistic futurefunk in a broken electroid shape, brought to daylight by justin maxwell in 2006.

supported by: tom stephan, jerome sydenham, noir, atle, djuma soundsystem, patrick bateman.. we wanted to try something new. to let an outside artist provide the main track. the choice was pretty easy – it could only be danish sensation jack rock. he has been killing the big stages all over northern europe with his technically demanding live-sets. a university background in sound theory and interactive sound design means that his productions of post-minimal techno are brimming with interlacing tones and harmonic elements.
