The night ran for seven hours and the pair sent the club on a wild ride from downtempo curios and personal favourites from Angelo Badalamenti, Suicide, Etta James and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band through an increased BPM that features LCD, the tune the club was named after by Liquid Liquid, disco (First Choice), pop (modern Madonna) and rock (Iggy Pop) through to the glorious final 90 minutes of all-sorts: Sparks, Westbam, Blondie, ‘Stand On The Word’, Fleetwood Mac and ‘Stand By Me’. Optimogeddon was how the pair billed their last night on Apand the night has gone down as one of the best clubbing experiences many in the room had and Rolling Stone even went as far as listing as one the 25 best internet DJ mixes of all-time whatever that means. Basically, it serves as one of the main inspirations for our own Lumo in Dublin. The Sub Club-held night ran for 13 years and was run by DJs JD Twitch and Jonnie Wilkes who as well as having live acts like Grace Jones, Four Tet, LCD Soundsystem, ESG and more play, was notable for its eclectic tune selection that ran the gamut of electronic, post-punk, disco, lo-fi and rock. Optimo Espacio was a Sunday night club in Glasgow that was the stuff of legend.
