JD Twitch. An unmissable character that certainly needs no introduction. Anyone who is even slightly interested in electronic music must have noticed him or at least the label Optimo Music. But at the beginning of this story was the regular weekly Optimo Espacio party at the Sub Club in Glasgow, which ran continuously every Sunday from 1997 to 2010. And that's experience that's not easy to come by, and it's obvious on first sight and listen that JD Twitch and JG Wilkes really have it in spades.
This month-old recording is from Berlin's Sameheads club and offers some really great musical entertainment from a man not subject to current musical trends and the word eclectic set is not just some catchphrase. On the contrary, he creates the trends himself. In a lifetime of clubbing he knows exactly what's going on, not to mention his music collection. It's a shame to say, better listen for yourself. Just classy and rare.
