  • Summary

  • If you’re a member of the IOM Community, chances are you’re an Optimo fan, and there are decent odds you’ve seen them at some point over their long and decorated career. JD Twitch and JG Wilkes, that’s Keith and Jonnie, borrowed their moniker from their seminal party at Glasgow’s Sub Club, Optimo (Espacio). It ran every Saturday night without fail from 1997 to 2010, and welcomed everyone from LCD Soundsystem to Ivan Smagghe, Richie Hawtin to Franz Ferdinand through its doors to perform. Optimo now enjoy their position as international club and festival fixtures spinning every genre under the sun to crowds all over the world, and they reflect this breadth of taste in the output of their label, Optimo Music. Yet, their connection to Glasgow remains an intimate one, synonymous as they are with the city’s musical identity. There’s no one we’d have rather spoken to for this episode.
