Optimo: Optimo 1
A selection bursting with Optimo's trademark combination of quality and surprise.
Metamorphosis
Den Haan
Following the most foreboding of intros, Metamorphosis quickly realises itself as a space disco party to remember. But like all parties, there's a sinister darkside lurking not far beneath.
Gone Blue
Truffle Club
A haze of unashamedly euphoric yet dreamy electro, Gone Blue generates a beautiful sense of melancholy by being, well, so pretty it hurts.
Va Va Va
Findo Gask
A ton of fun disguised by the lightest of touches, this is heavyweight dance-pop without an excess note.
Shanty
Tattie Toes
Eerie traditional singing over a perfectly composed, simple arrangement - Shanty has that magic touch.
Moon Song
They Came From The Stars I Saw Them
Dammit there's a lot of funk on here, and dammit it's good. Simultaneously hilarious and fascinating, Moon Song will delight you before you even get to the chorus. And then, then... You'll be over the moon.
The Crimes of Comiskey Park
Xvectors
We don't know any more than you do what the crimes were, not least 'cause this is an instrumental number. Reminiscent of the dub and jazz tinged lo-fi of Primal Scream's Vanishing Point, this is the perfect tune to end the night on. Bonne nuit!
