Optimo (Espacio) are the duo JD Twitch and JG Wilkes and they’re coming to Cobalt Studios in Newcastle this December for a right old knees up.

Twitch and Wilkes - woo hoo! The pair exhibit a unique disregard for genres and musical restrictions in their craft, creating a nightclub experience that strikes out into territories far beyond the accepted boundaries of club music. The duo were responsible for the Glasgow nightclub Optimo (Espacio), which ran from the late 90s to 2010. Optimo sat at the very epicentre of the Scottish clubbing consciousness in its weekly residency in the Sub Club and is widely regarded as one of the most important and ground-breaking clubs of the past two decades. So if you’re looking to party in the days just before Christmas then look no further.

Optimo (Espacio), Saturday 21 December, Cobalt Studios, Newcastle, 11pm, £14-£16, cobaltstudios.co.uk
