🔥This Week’s Hot Wax🔥
Artist: Natural Magic
Release: II
Label / Year: Optimo Music, 2026

Last week I had an AF Trax record here. Now we move on to the latest release from Optimo Music, krauty, spacey, trippy, uplifting, fresh in, selected track 'Galaxy Builder': https://naturalmagic.bandcamp.com/track/galaxy-builder

Read the release notes on Bandcamp yourself, I can't describe it any better than that, JD Twitch, to quote Rilke: '..und hört im Herzen auf zu sein.'

I missed half of one of my favourite #NtsRadio programmes - Optimo. I will miss the end when I go to see Adam Ant.

#BandcampFriday Originally released on cassette tape in 2021, “Let There Be Drums” is a celebration of all things percussive. It is very much a mixed mix, but it’s all music played by humans. Any money raised will be donated to Glasgow North West Foodbank. Available via #OptimoMusic. https://optimomusic.bandcamp.com/album/let-there-be-drums

Optimo Music
#Upcoming At the start of the 1990s as the Rave scene exploded it was such a new thing for so many people that they often didn’t know what the music was, nor did they have the vocabulary to describe it. “Raise Your Hands If You Understand” is a snapshot of that heady time. Any funds raised will be donated to Glasgow North West Foodbank. Available via #OptimoMusic, September 1st. https://optimomusic.bandcamp.com/album/raise-your-hands-if-you-understand-free-pay-what-you-want
