On June 20th, DJ Optimus will release his debut album ‘Double Helix DNA’ on Fremdtunes. Hip Hop beats rich with Jazz and Funk influences, Turntablism, Electronica and a whole squadron of guests, including Rasco, Prince Po, iET, MC Rise, Maylay Sparks, Mo & Grazz and El Da Sensei, are the main ingredients of this debut. Optimus (Rotterdam, The Netherlands) created a complex produced masterpiece, working with a whole variety of (vintage) equipment & instruments and chopping up half the world. So, there you have it: jazzy, funky, energetic, dreamy, straight forward and with the boombap right at its core.

The digital version of the début EP Used Future by Dutch DJ’s/producers Mace and Optimus, together OptiMace, is out now! The EP is the result of an intensive cooperation between the two, using all types of equipment like vintage samplers & synthesizers, fx-pedals, turntables, ‘ordinary’ instruments and materials like stoves and brushes. OptiMace created a playful mixture of dusty, jazzy beats, electronics and soundscapes. The two, who also combine forces in label Fremdtunes, invited Belgium saxophone player Erwin Vann to add some mind-blowing brass to the tracks. The digital version comes with a bonus-track, Flash, featuring DJ Vindictiv. Rush Hour distributes the vinyl (out on 04/18/2011). The artwork is done by Klaas Verplancke and Mister Adam.
Order the digital release (mp3/wav) right here:

As of today, ‘Boesoek’ by Coco Bryce is out! This LP has 10 banging, electronic, future-tunes on it and guest-appearances by Kelpe (UK) and DJ Mace (NL).
Coco Bryce is a producer/DJ, label-owner (Myor) and musical omnivore. He’s known for his eclectic Dubstep, Hip Hop beats and Skweee DJ-sets & productions, collabs with artists like Slugabed, Slow Hand Mötem & Kelpe and releases on Harmönia, Mässy, Astro:Dynamics, Car Crash Set, Lowriders & others. Boesoek is his début LP. The title means ‘rotten’ or ‘outdated’ and has in no way anything to do with this funky, futuristic album.

We at Fremdtunes are currently finishing the debut EP ‘Used Future’ by OptiMace. Klaas Verplancke & Mister Adam are finishing the artwork and we’re to start telling the world about this release. But before we can any further we’d like to introduce you to the track ‘OptiMaceVille – Invasion of the Lettermen ‘. It’s a track that resulted from a collaboration between OptiMace and Mashville in 2009. Mashville is a collaborative art project initiated by Mister Adam and drJay. They invite people to work with them by exchanging images in order to create a silkscreen print together. They create one image, pass it on to the collaborator to complete/change and get a completely different outcome back. They work on it some more and send it back again. Image ping-pong so to speak. Once satisfied with the outcome they’ll have it printed. In the case of OptiMace they worked on image-music-ping-pong (so to speak). OptiMace invited saxophone player Erwin Vann and guitarist Shycop to complete the track and this is the result:

You can order the official release (limited silckscreen printed artwork + CD) at www.wemashville.com.
