Fabric 52: Optimo (Espacio)


The 52nd Fabric mix CD will be compiled by Optimo (Espacio), and released this May (June in the US). Optimo is the name of a hugely popular and influential Glasgow club night, ran by J.D. Twitch and J.G. Wilkes. The pair met on a bus from Glasgow to Edinburgh, the city where Twitch was running his Pure club night, a regular session that played host to Richie Hawtin, Green Velvet, Derrick May, Jeff Mills and more in its lifespan. Twitch was later approached by Glasgow’s Sub Club to start a Sunday night session at the venue, and turned to Wilkes for a partnership. Optimo – a genuine anything goes club night in a sea of parties that claimed similar policy without the balls to back it up – was born, and in its time at the Sub Club has featured sets from Liquid Liquid, LCD Soundsystem, Shackleton, TV on the Radio, Grace Jones and countless other luminaries alongside the two residents. It was recently announced that Optimo, at least in its current guise, will soon end, but the night will leave in its legacy countless memories, and a permanent status as an inspiration to more recent Glasgow clubnights like Numbers. It also, of course, will leave us this Fabric mix, which is released on May 10 in the UK and June 29 in the US, and in typical Optimo style, features music across the board from Fad Gadget, Oni Ahyun, Thomas Brinkmann, Crazy Cousinz and more.
