Optimo

<3 <3 <3

holy cow--i would give my firstborn to go to that party in glasgow this weekend

twitch's pure mix is one of my favorite acid mixes of all time, full stop (i love you, keith)

How was the acid house party? Just moved from NZ to Amsterdam in time to catch the above. Finally (French air traffic control permitting, etc).

Great fun in NY sunday night of labor day weekend. Actually glad they showed up late and we stuck around. Had they showed up as planned we probably would've left after an hour or two because we're lame, but the flight had them start at 2:30, and after staying that long we weren't going to miss the end. Don't know if it was the existence of Horse Meat Disco (who I saw the day before at ps1) in house, but Optimo got VERY menergetic.

bummed I missed it. I was fired up to go to the Sunday daytime thing but after it got wiped out by the hurricane I couldn't do the late-night makeup date.

what's the deal with this

looks like the equivalent of an edits 12 but with OGs not edits?

There are samples on Juno: http://www.juno.co.uk/products/discofil-desperados-presents/434014-01/

It's got a song I've been hoping to reissue for years...

has anyone got the pure mix mp3 i can't find it :(

what's the deal with this

it's a b**tl*g

it's tracks i had tried and failed to license and this swedish dude talked me into compiling them on a 12". which one had you been hoping to reissue dan?

Don't know if it was the existence of Horse Meat Disco

i didn't spot them until after it was over. i think it's 'cos i spotted you. :)

I'll just say jo3 f0st3r gave me approval back when I wanted to do my expanded wanna buy a bridge cd

well, if you're not fast you're last.

Last weekend in Glasgow with Horse Meat Disco was so good, easily the most fun I've had dancing in a long time.

ach i was there too. it would have been nice to say hello. next time!

Loving the mix.

So there's the return, of sorts, to regularity in Glasgow this Friday. Hard not to not be pleased about it!

a resurrection worthy of easter weekend.

"you won't like it, sugar"

guess i gotta move back to Glasgow

Playing at Trouw in Amsterdam on the Saturday, which'll be a bit easier to reach for me. Where's the Glasgow return at - Sub Club, or a different/new venue? Might have to make a pilgrimage before I have to return to Australasia, hmmn.

killed it at corsica studios last night (what a surprise)

etc, sub on fridays but only once every two months.

In all honesty I think I might actually go to Glasgow for one this summer.

well, *shameless spam* alert. my friend, Guy, and I made a video for stirnonster's new track and i hope you all like it!

yay!

i'm the one dancing in the video so please be kind!

in fact, don't be kind just enjoy it or be honest if you didn't .

I was going to post this here w/o yr permission but I didn't but I'm glad you did bcz it's p f rad

<3 to you, stevie.

This is gorgeous.

i love it. jed, you're a great dancer.

thanks! that track was stirmonster's homage to arthur russell and that video was my homage to optimo.... it kinda flows like an optimo condensed into 4 minutes (with two people, obviously) although that's the director/editor's skill that it moves like that.

this is great!

thanks donna, good times! x

(i mean that time we went to optimo together).

thanks jed. x

love it

Respect for the 25+ years of djing. But you would of thought in this time they would learn how to mix on vinyl. Almost every mix drifts. Not really acceptable if u ask me

not really acceptable - what a dick thing to say. it's live. maybe the monitors aren't perfect? maybe flawless mixing isn't so important? maybe they are deaf? who cares? what do you do?

i forgot about that post on youtube. drunken scorn is never good. :-)

naw dude, perfect response to such twattery.

That garage tune at 47 to 50 mins-ish is insane in that boiler room vid. Wish I knew what it was.

Optimo playin Fabric weekend after next too: http://www.fabriclondon.com/club/listing/665

Big night: Hessel, Optimo, MMM, Kuedo, DVA, Altered Natives, Peverelist, Joe, fuck.

If I've got the cash to get from up north I'm off.

MMM Live

! ! !

RE: that YT comment: Nothing worse than chinscratching arbiters of dj technique/taste. Those are probably the ones who don't dance and just stand around getting butthurt. Long Live Optimo!

"talking to the DJ when he's trying to mix / and you fuck it up good and proper"

Track at 47 - 50 mins is 'Tunsten" by Barnt. Out soon on Comeme.

Not long finished listening to this. It was great. Guy from YouTube moaning about the mixing sounds like a fud. Who cares if the mixing isn't perfect, to be perfectly honest I probably couldn't tell anyway, as long as the crowd are into it. Never got the chance to attend an Optimo live 'cause of the Sunday thing but this was a very nice second price.

most of these whingers who moan about dj mixing have prob never even played live, let alone recorded one of their own live sets.

Listening to this now, it's just ridiculously great! It must have been fun to do.
