Optimo / The Roadhouse / 4th October / £10

TLDR

Events from promoters Hairbrain are few and far between, but when they come they’re always special: Hudson Mohawke’s Manchester debut back in 2008 for example.

Each Hairbrain night should therefore be afforded attention – especially when it features Glasgow’s dance music helmsmen JD Twitch and JG Wilkes. Collectively known as ‘Optimo’, an alias derived from their now defunct Sub Club night, the duo have become credited for not only running a well regarded record label, but also their ability to amalgamate genres, tempos and eras throughout journey-like DJ sets.

With Optimo due to play for four hours in the Northern Quarter’s Roadhouse on Saturday 4th, expect to hear the full range of the pair’s record bag. To whet your appetite, check out their boundary pushing Boiler Room appearances.

Tickets are on sale at Skiddle now, priced at £10.

See the Facebook event for further details.
