Premiere: Al Wootton – Libera

Music

The Trule boss takes care of the next Optimo Digital Dancefloor release with two disco dub opuses.

How long had it been since she felt the sun on her face; since she felt the sand between her toes and the fresh sea air clearing her sinuses? Too long than she cared to remember… She could literally taste the freedom on the tip of her tongue, the liberation slowly cascading over her – it was a feeling she never thought she’d have again, but now here she was, looking out to sea with a renewed sense of existence. Who knows what twists and turns lay ahead, what obstacles might be just around the corner… She really couldn’t wait to find out.

Optimo Music’s Digital Dancefloor series returns with its 49th instalment, this time welcoming Trule boss Al Wootton for a two-tracker that’s certified to cause destruction on the dancefloor. Having featured Al’s music under his Deadboy alias back in the day on their “Dark Was The Night” mix CD, Optimo now bring him on board for two chuggy, dubbed out disco tracks that both unfold over the course of nine minutes. Laid down live in takes and using hardware synths and external processing, he explores a host of different genres that he’s always held dear from post-punk and psychedelia to proto house and dub.
