It is without shame we admit that "Optimo Espacio" has been one of the
main sources of inspiration behind Naive Melody over the years. J.D
Twitch and J.G Wilkes' Sunday night legacy at Sub Club has achieved
iconic status in the British clubbing underground to say the very least.
We are fans of there turntable work and have been honoured to share the privilege of joining them at some great parties. However we feel they are greater than mere disc jockeys and that beneath the surface lies much more.
The Scottish duo's love for diverse music is impressive, I remember reading through playlists from the club that they use to post on there site. "Chris & Cosey" next to "Carl Craig" followed by "the Stranglers"... Hardly your average DJ's work?
Optimo have traveled the world sourcing their music, well before the days of the download and still they have compiled some of the best comps and mix series we've found on the internet.
Aesthetically they are akin to the great DJ's before them such as the late John Peel... From annotations on records which inspired the club, to eulogies for the unsung heroes of the underground... They put their soul into what they say and do and their fans are given much to love and learn.
We can't find a good enough reason for why it has taken us more than 4 years to do this. All we can say is that we feel this is going to be special for us and hopefully for you too.
