Optimo (Espacio)  Glasgow, United Kingdom

Optimo (Espacio) is JD Twitch & JG Wilkes. We hosted Optimo (Espacio) every Sunday at the Sub Club in Glasgow from 27 November 1997 - 25 April 2010 when the weekly club came to an end.

We will continue to tour, promote and release music as Optimo but it will no longer be possible to hear JD Twitch and JG Wilkes dj at The Sub Club every Sunday night.

Sundays at the Sub Club will now be the home of HUNG UP! a new weekly event curated by Optimo deejays JD Twitch and JG Wilkes.

HUNG UP! has been born out of the extraordinary explosion of affection that greeted the final ever Optimo (Espacio). An evening where we experienced the admiration and sheer, sweat-blinking euphoria of the Glasgow clubbing community for 12 years of dedicated, genre-defying clubbing. Inspired with that energy, filled with fresh ideas and a renewed excitement, this brand new night launches on Sunday the 16th of May with a party soundtrack guided single-handedly by JG Wilkes.

Keen to inject new energy and ideas into a fresh Sunday venture, we intend to hand over the deejay duties and the direction of the party groove to a series of our contemporaries. Hung Up! will be an event based primarily on a rolling billing of guest djs drawn from our djs friends and peers in the Glasgow clubbing community and augmented by live performances from bands selected by the Optimo team.

The intention is for us to curate and cultivate a new event, one which will rarely include the two of us djing together. HUNG UP! will evolve through a looser, varied and rotating line up of guest djs and live performers where we will drop in individually to play with - or indeed hand over the night entirely to - these guests.

This will include not only regular invitations to well known faces of the club scene:- including in the opening month's Jackmaster (Numbers/Dress to Sweat), David Barbarossa (Fun Size/Night Dreams) and Hushpuppy (RPZ). The "no guest djs" policy of the previous Optimo (Espacio) years gives way to a desire to invite some of the friends we have meet all over the world back to Scotland to host a sunday night Glasgow party, so expect a line-up of exception British and international guests in the coming months.

The music, the decoration, the image, the sounds and the ethos will be changing on Sundays as we explore the possibilities and opportunities that creating a fresh start bring.

But the one thing that won't change is the quailty of what will be on offer. The party lives on.

"Fuck Shit Up!"
