Show Notes
Good Friend of Transient Radio GROHS A Tribute To JD Twitch Optimo Mix
It turned into a bit of an impromptu (and slightly shambolic) tribute to Keith/JD Twitch/Optimo (fiting for a Sunday night). Lots of music I was introduced to via either Keith or the club. Such a huge influence on my musical tastes and DJing that it features little nods and tributes to Optimo classics and the Optimo experience, Keith remixes and more. Lots of recognisable Optimo tunes (and dare I say it Djing styles).

Discoteca Oct26 Discoteca is Andy Westbrook and Disco DJ Mac, two lifelong friends who met in Ipswich in the late 80s and have spent the decades since immersed in the music they love. Andy's journey started in his late teens, shaped by the euphoric early days of UK club culture at nights at Shoom, Tonka and Moist which drew him to London in 1990. From there he built a career playing alongside dj’s such as DJ Harvey, Danny Rampling and Norman Jay and held a residency at The Cross, playing at countless nights that defined an era. Now back in Suffolk and back behind the decks with every bit of the joy that started it all. Mac's path began with a deep love of hip hop, until a transformative night at Pikes in Ibiza rewired everything. That experience unlocked the disco sound that now sits at the heart of his musical identity. His selections are instinctive, warm, and rooted in a collector's obsession and if it doesn't come on 7", it doesn't make the show. Together, Andy and Mac host Discoteca, a monthly show on Transient Radio drawing on a combined lifetime of experience and an unshakeable shared taste. Disco, dub disco, house, balearic and everything that lives in between. No fillers. No shortcuts. Just two friends who love music, playing records they love.
