INFO
Optimo (Espacio) is a club night in Glasgow that was started in November 1997 at The Sub Club by dj's JD Twitch and JG Wilkes. Both these djs were tired with their firmly rooted techno-based nights and decided to form a new, more satisfiying and creative club.
Both the founding djs at Optimo came to the formation of the club from backgrounds in programmed beats, and what was generally know as “techno” at the time. Twitch was a resident at the Edinburgh based night “Pure” while Wilkes was based at the Glasgow event "Knuklehead" (later My Machines). Both were disillusioned with the musical limitations which their respective residencies provided, and decided they needed a change to try something which would be both totally different, and totally unrestrictive in terms of what they could decide to play.
