Bella Festa 4th Birthday With Optimo (Espacio)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On April 11th, we celebrate 4 years of Bella Festa in Yamamori Tengu with absolutes legends of the game Optimo (Espacio).
It's crazy to imagine this project started as a mix series during Covid to now throwing parties in Dublin for 4 years. We would like to thank everyone who's ever attended, supported the parties or booked us, and a massive shout out to Tengu and other venues who have booked us throughout Ireland & Europe <3
We are so excited for this party with Optimo as they have been on our booking list for quite a long time and are personal favourites of ours, so it feels extra special to get them here for our birthday and there's no better party starters! Optimo will be playing a 3 hour set taking the decks from midnight -> end.
For anyone unfamiliar with Optimo, you're in for a treat and are soon about to discover your new favourite DJs!
Support on the night will be from ourselves (Aidan & David) and we look forward to seeing everyone there xx
Optimo (Espacio)
---------------------------------------------
Optimo (Espacio) are the duo JD Twitch and JG Wilkes. They each have over 30 years DJ-ing experience and have become both renowned and highly respected for their memorable and ecstatic deejay sets. Twitch and Wilkes 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 November 1997 until April 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 (at one point earning them the prestigious title of Mixmag “Club of the Year”).
Their mixes and DJ sets underline Optimo’s reputation as taste-makers, achieved through their shared passion for clubbing and their encyclopedic knowledge of music. However it also illustrates their skill in assembling sounds from the past and present to create an experience that is definitively futuristic in spirit.
The final essential ingredient to the Optimo success is of course the people. Each Optimo set is different, teased out of the dynamics of a singular group of people - whether it be a tiny basement sweat-box, the main room of a super club, the main stage of a festival or a thousand people in a field - and everything they do springs from the spirit of the crowd and the rhythm of the moment. It is the unique enthusiasm of each crowd, where ever they go, that gives them inspiration – and feeds the joy in what they do. As Twitch and Wilkes say themselves, “We Love Your Ears!”
