Singles, EPs or new tracks floating around the ether of the internet with David Knight.
Optimo (Espacio) started in Glasgow in 1997 to inject fun and diversity to a then stagnating UK club scene. Over a decade on, the night started by JG Wilkes and Keith McIvor (JD Twitch) has become legendary both for its eclectic music policy, flamboyant theme parties and a knack for booking upcoming bands right before they explode. Past guest performers have included Grace Jones, LCD Soundsystem, Cut Copy, Franz Ferdinand and Liquid Liquid – whose heavily sampled track Optimo they take their name from. As well as maintaining their weekly Sunday night residency at Glasgow’s Sub Club and travelling the world the duo also remixed the likes of Simian Mobile Disco, Gossip, The Presets and Franz Ferdinand among others under various monikers. Winston Reed interviews Optimo’s JG Wilkes, who begins the interview by asking Winston a question.
