- Domino Records will release the Scottish duo's newest CD in October.
Optimo return this month with yet another mix, this time on Domino Records.
Entitled Sleepwalk, JD Twitch and JG Wilkes will once again be testing the outer limits of the DJ mix by taking in people as varied as Nurse With Wound, Lee Hazlewood, Duke Ellington and forgotten folkie Karen Dalton. In fact, the closest thing to actual "dance music" is a track from Arthur Russell and ambient music from Cluster and Eno, Moebius and Roedelius. Then again, that's exactly the sort of thing that Optimo has been doing each Sunday at their celebrated Sub Club night.
