JD TWITCH (OPTIMO) - PHONICA MIX SERIES #55 (257kbs-m4a/147mb/1hr19mins)
Phonica podcast: 3rd December 2018
The final chapter in Phonica's 2018 Mix Series comes in the form of an intricate and eclectic 75-minute long recording from Optimo's JD Twitch.
For more than three decades, JD Twitch has been at the very forefront of Scotland (and indeed the rest of the world's) clubbing scene. JD Twitch and Optimo‘s other-half, JG Wilkes' legendary event series Optimo (Espacio) used to run at Glasgow's Sub Club every Sunday, from 1997 to 2010 and has gone down in history as one of the cities most iconic residencies of all time.
Over the past fifteen years, Twitch has been releasing music under his various monikers Betty Botox, Mount Florida and Sonic Assasins, to name but three. Alongside his own musical output, Twitch is the main man behind the Optimo Music and Autonomous Africa imprints, which have collectively seen original works and top-class reissues from the likes of Coil, The Golden Filter, Tafi All-Stars, Midland and Auntie Flo in recent years. He also co-manages the Selva Discos label with Brazilian duo Selvagem.

JD TWITCH - BLEEP MIX #104 (258kbs-m4a/121mb/66mins)
Bleep podcast: 20th March 2020
Earlier this year Matt Anniss released the book Join The Future - UK Bleep & Bass 1988-91. Some five years in the making it tells the story of the rise of British dance music during the late 80s and 90s. To coincide with this book, he has put together a compilation with some of the key tracks during this period. To celebrate the release of this compilation we have a special mix from Optimo (Espacio) founding member JD Twitch focussing on these genres Bleep Techno & Bass. JD Twitch effortlessly pulls together classics from the genre starting with the seminal Test Four from Richard H. Kirk and DJ Parrot, through his own remix of Nightmares On Wax's Dextrous, LFO, Tough Little Unit and Ital Rockers. Sitting neatly alongside these blueprints, we have modern productions on labels indebted to this sound such as Batu's 2017 Hessle Audio cut Marius, I-iii's Livity Sound release and Luca Lozano's And It Was Good - released through Twitch's own Optimo Trax.
