    JD Twitch (Optimo Music) Mix

    Hand-Picked Music
    JD Twitch is one half of acclaimed DJ/Remix duo Optimo. They've released a number of fantastic compilations and remixed tracks by Peter, Bjorn, & John, Florence & the Machine, and Liquid Liquid. Optimo (Espacio) is also the name of the legendary club night Optimo have been hosting at Glasgow's Sub Club for over a decade. This night, in my humble opinion, is the Helen of Troy of club nights; "the night that launched a thousand nights."

    Optimo. They've released a number of fantastic compilations and remixed tracks by Peter, Bjorn, & John, Florence & the Machine, and Liquid Liquid. Optimo (Espacio) is also the name of the legendary club night Optimo have been hosting at Glasgow's Sub Club for over a decade. This night, in my humble opinion, is the Helen of Troy of club nights; "the night that launched a thousand nights." They hosted live performances by Franz Ferdinand, LCD Soundsystem, Hot Chip, and TV on the Radio very early in their careers. Last year, Optimo started a label to champion artists that they love and exist in the space between snarly punk and ecstatic dance music. I met Twitch several months ago and asked him if he'd be so kind as to grace us with an exclusive mix of Optimo Music...I'm so glad he did, enjoy.
