Optimo - 8/10

You can rely on Optimo's flawless imprint to bring us a slew of forward-thinking tracks. This EP touches down on four international hotbeds of creativity. Glasgow's Beta starts the ball rolling with his intense, broken 'Endless Pains'. Love's Flaccid Disco Muscle returns to Optimo Trax with unique, disco-tinged oddity '3am At The Aqua Disco' which sounds like Maurice Fulton working with Jimmy Edgar in an asylum. Alex Burkat flies the flag for NYC with the bass-heavy 'Culture Full Circle', while Modini (aka Neil Landstrumm) and Alan Parley represent Edinburgh and finish off this sterling EP with the bass, dub and vigorous bleeps of 'Ghost Seducer.' Four solid tracks that'll make you sit up and pay attention.
