Next Optimo for me: The Go! Team one, I think. Would like to do Clinic too but don't think I will.
New Year too.

So, when they confirm I have to find somewhere to live and move. And do NYE Optimo. I am sure it is possible somehow...

(would say more, but don't want to spoil the surprise)
― blazin' squab (NickB), Monday, 23 October 2023 17:40 (seven months ago) link
(probably have already though)
― blazin' squab (NickB), Monday, 23 October 2023 17:41 (seven months ago) link
ha ha! i'm surprised it took so long for anyone to do that. first few times i ever played the liquid liquid track several people asked "what was the track that sounded a bit like the cricket theme?". for non Brits, soul limbo is synonmyous with cricket here as it is / was the tv theme tune for a long time.
mr bleaching agent is a good pal of mine. he told me he had done a ton of edits but i hadn't got as far as hearing this one yet.
― stirmonster, Monday, 23 October 2023 18:43 (seven months ago) link
listened to it again and it actually bangs, would totally lose my mind if I heard that out at just the right moment.
just clocked the lifetones sample on the 4th track on that release, bloody lovely that!

Yeah you must be delighted! and very relieved. congrats!
― blazin' squab (NickB), Friday, 2 February 2024 21:35 (four months ago) link

it was the chips that did it

Got my Optimo package from monorail today. And only a dozen emails from the royal mail tracking its progress along the way!
― dan selzer, Friday, 2 February 2024 23:35 (four months ago) link
v. happy you picked that up. royal mail have gone email mad in recent times - i am bombarded by their updates.
― stirmonster, Saturday, 3 February 2024 05:12 (four months ago) link
Also looking forward to the chips.

Thought this might be the right place to ask, but is the Naum Gabo LP getting widely distributed in UK?
Bandcamp are charging international shipping, and I can see Phonica has vinyl copies (Juno out of stock already), but I have a local store I like to order from if its possible.
Sounding great from what I have heard.
― my opinionation (Hamildan), Tuesday, 12 March 2024 09:58 (two months ago) link
it deffo has UK distribution. i don't know who the distributor is though i'm afraid.

Enjoyed listening back to this newly uploaded set from Field Maneuvers last year: https://soundcloud.com/resident-advisor/ra-live-optimo-field-maneuvers-uk
Unless my memory is playing tricks on me there was even more after this recording ends though?
― Chewshabadoo, Friday, 29 March 2024 12:15 (two months ago) link
i think that was right near the end no? i have to confess i don't recall how the set ended.
― stirmonster, Saturday, 30 March 2024 00:20 (two months ago) link
Well it was the end of a rather heavy weekend so I could very well have a loose grip on the facts! I trust you :D
― Chewshabadoo, Saturday, 30 March 2024 10:59 (two months ago) link
One thing I will say is that one of my friends still hasn’t forgiven you both for teasing “Boys” and then not playing it! You know what to do at Watching Trees…
― Chewshabadoo, Saturday, 30 March 2024 11:01 (two months ago) link
ha! i don't recall, that either and was 100% sober.

want that 242 t-shirt.i have one, but its too subtle and doesn't really make it clear re my love for 242.
― mark e, Wednesday, 22 May 2024 21:04 (two weeks ago) link
ooops.i have a 242 t-shirt,but it's not clear as to what its about as it's quite random re the connection to f242.in other news : every track on this video is bloody brilliant.
time for new beat revival !?
― mark e, Wednesday, 22 May 2024 21:11 (two weeks ago) link
Yessssss, new beat revival now.
