Free Download: OptiMace – This Music Is Not Music (2011)

On the free digital EP ‘This Music Is Not Music’, OptiMace takes you on another tour de music. Inspired by movies from the 1950’s, books from the 19th century, hiphop from the 1990’s and electronic music from the 21st century, the Dutch duo serves the listener abstract jazz-licks, sample-based soundscapes, boom bap drumpatterns and vintage synthstrains.

OptiMace is the result of an intensive musical cooperation between DJ Mace and DJ Optimus, both initiators of Dutch record label Fremdtunes. On the free digital EP ‘This Music Is Not Music’ – out just a few months after their debut EP Used Future – OptiMace takes you on another tour de music.

Music: OptiMace – Land Beyond The Forest (ft. Shycop)

Inspired by movies from the 1950’s, books from the 19th century, hiphop from the 1990’s and electronic music from the 21st century, OptiMace serves the listener abstract jazz-licks, sample-based soundscapes, boom bap drumpatterns and vintage synthstrains. The two invited Belgium saxophone player Erwin Vann and multi-instrumentalist Shycop to complete the songs.

OptiMace is currently compiling ‘Used Future’ remixes for an upcoming release, and has recently put out a mix for the Wax Poetics.
