Optimo

Todd Terje lists the Optimo Remix of They Came From The Stars I Saw Them as his number 1 in his dj chart on juno this month (even though it came out nearly 3 years ago...!)

u got sicrolled

apparently

P.S. stirmonster I saw you at the Barbary in Philly back in January (and shook your hand and told you how much I loved "How to Kill the DJ, part 2") and it was one of the greatest things my friend and I ever saw. Do you remember the show well? How was it in relation to a typical night at Optimo?

Damn, "In Order to Edit" kills, that Speedjack-into-The-Mover transition is astonishing- not to be all old skool bruv, but it brings me back to hearing The Mover DJ at VFM many many many years ago.

How was it in relation to a typical night at Optimo

i can't really remember what i was playing but i do remember shaking your hand and i also remember it being one of my favourite us gigs. i love philly! i'm back next month (not sure where yet).

i need to go to optimo again sometime, got a job that means i'm often off on Mondays now so no excuse.

Aaah, let me know the date as soon as you find out so I can get off work! NYC's overblown; Philly rules :)

anybody else going to Alter Ego / Twitch / Fixed party at Knitting Factory Brooklyn tomorrow?

been laid up due to illness all week so couldn't get into town, so does anyone know if there are tickets left for The Field, if so should I head into town and get some from somewhere if possible or should I get one on the door?

this was fun btw

are they pre-selling Field tickets? usually it's just on the door but when they do pre-sell some sub club gigs i think it's only half in advance so you should get in easily if you turn up just before the doors open.

that's the other worry. I think I'm seeing the Flaming Lips with a friend that night, which means (depending on where that gig is) I won't be making to the Sub Club until gone 11. Would be pretty annoyed if I missed The Field in order to see the Flaming Lips.

And I quote:

We just got asked to do a Fabric mix cd (due May 2010). Exciting!

looking forward to seeing this handsome young man in a warehouse in Sydney come Saturday night:

anybody go to the turbo rave? if so i am jealous.

^^^ where on earth did you dig that up from?

the turbo rave was the most fun ever.

a combination of moving house and SHEER GLORIOUS FLUKE

Aw man, the turbo rave looked fantastic, but as I teach on Monday mornings it was a no go. Roll on the Easter holidays.

THE END IS NIGH - LAST EVER OPTIMO

http://www.optimo.co.uk/echationew/viewtopic.php?t=2917

should really go to one of these since i haven't been to optimo since 2002.

stirmonster has been promising an end to Optimo for YEARS now

i think he just does it for attention ;)

been lucky enough to see Twitch and Wilkes DJ in NYC several times but I always kinda had in the back of my mind that *one of these days* I'd try to see Optimo in Glasgow. didn't make it! bummer.

good luck on whatever you've got on deck stirmonster

no 'hitler reacts to the end of optimo' vid, no credibility

haha

aw, man. glad i got to see you guys in glasgow!

btw Betty Botox is now digital on junodownload.

hey haitch. had hoped i would see you (was fun times). you should have said you were broke and i'd have got you in and stood you a few drinks.

An Optimo Oral History

Really desperate to go to the final one on Sunday, but a lot of balls up in the air. Think I'd cry though.

The Optimo mix is a killer, fyi

250 optimo classics

http://www.optimo.co.uk/blog/index.php

also on spotify

OK the next thing to do is for someone to make a torrent out of these songs so that I can make the best itunes party playlist of all time.

Because seriously, if I hear MGMT or Matt & Kim one more fucking time

I had a dream I went to the last one, 2 nights ago..

it was awesome if the one in my dream was anything to go by.

given up on the notion of going. i'm finally kind of okay with that.

what will be the final song at the final optimo??

I hope it would Optimo. Or Optimo followed by some teary ballad, or some kick out the jams rager.

Put on my recording of pi, leave.
