Roman Flügel, Juju & Jordash, Smallpeople, Barnt. RITUAL finishes its first season with another seminal music affair - the dance floor on May 15th will be handled by no other than half of the Scottish duo Optimo (Espacio) – J.D. Twitch!

-

Optimo are the duo J.D. Twitch and J.G. Wilkes. They each have over 20 years DJ-ing experience and in the last decade have become both renowned and highly respected for their memorable and ecstatic deejay sets. Twitch and Wilkes exhibit a unique disregard for genres and musical restrictions in their craft, creating a nightclub experience that strikes out into territories far beyond the accepted boundaries of club music.

The duo are responsible for the nightclub Optimo (Espacio) which ran from November 1997 until April 2010. Optimo sat at the very epicentre of the Scottish Clubbing consciousness in its weekly residency in the Sub Club and is widely regarded as one of the most important and ground-breaking clubs of the past 10 years (at one point earning them the prestigious title of Mixmag “Club of the Year”).

J.D. TWITCH has been releasing material under various guises for over fifteen years as J.D. Twitch, Betty Botox, Sonic Assassins, Mount Florida and recently as Doubleheart in partnership with Edinburgh’s Neil Landstrumm. He had several 12″ releases in 2011 on labels such as Discofil, Let’s Get Lost, Juno and Nonplus Records. Twitch has previously remixed under the name Optimo (Espacio) but now remixes under the J.D. 

Twitch moniker, remixing nearly 20 artists in 2011. There is an extensive catalogue of remixes – Liquid Liquid, Seun Kuti, Franz Ferdinand, The Gossip, Presets, Django Django, Prinzhorn Dance School, Florence & The Machine, Manic Street Preachers, Blondes, Ford & Lopatin, Konono No. 1 and many more.
