EF 083EP
|
The Italian duo Boot & Tax has one LP and four EPs under their wings which all deliver house and techno that stands out. Now the two give their debut for Endless Flight and release three tunes that listen to the name "Dimensione". They all got funk, they all love mesmerizing melodies. You can feel the power of disco coming in with heavy seducing strings. There's echoed drums, trippy sounds, and some oriental tones. And you also can march to cosmic techno that loves krautrock without embracing it. A multi-colored EP that spreads deepness in an uncommon sense.

OT 025EP

Boot & Tax are back with their first new music of 2016. Four tracks of spangled, idiosyncratic, woozily spacious and slightly off-kilter music that could only have been made by these two Milanese maestros.

After two sold-out 12" EPs on Optimo Trax (Acido (OT 004EP, 2013) and Fusci (OT 008EP, 2014)), Boot & Tax head over to motherlabel Optimo Music for the release of their full-length debut. The Milanese duo of Cristian Croce (The Barking Dogs) and Claudio Brioschi (Brioski) are two of the most popular and respected DJs and producers of the Italian scene, who share a great passion for analog synths and experimentation and a deep knowledge of both clubbing and production. Dance albums are notoriously difficult to pull off and often fall flat, but Boot & tax succeed where many fail by making a record that will work on open-minded dance floors but isn't necessarily a dance album. Incorporating Brioschi's guitar playing, Boot & Tax's trademark eccentric instrumentation, along with their analog arsenal and the occasional vocal from Croce, they have managed to forge a uniquely characteristic sound world. Playful, psychedelic, hypnotic, captivating, the album comes in a gatefold sleeve on double vinyl.

OT 008EP
|
Optimo Trax releases Boot & Tax's Fusci EP. These Milanese maestros deliver four dancefloor delights in their own inimitable and distinctive style. Working across a range of tempos and incorporating more of Boot's great vocalizing, they also manage to weave a jaw's harp solo in there and make it seem like a potential replacement for the TB 303.

OT 004EP

Optimo Trax is an offshoot label of Optimo Music for tracks aimed at DJs/dancefloors. The next two Optimo Trax releases are from Milan. This first one is four hot tracks from self-effacing Milanese maestros, Boot & Tax. "Acido" is already shaping up to be a club classic and never fails to cause a commotion; it has been thoroughly road-tested throughout the summer 2013. The other tracks cover all idiosyncratic bases, from high-grade sleaze-funk to Spaghetti Western-infused, low-slung house.
