A Night of Acid House • JD Twitch (Optimo)
Acid House was a revolutionary movement in British youth culture when elements of Chicago, London and Ibiza fused into an entirely new sound and sensibility. Acid House ushered in ‘The Second Summer of Love’, was a scene that would forever changed the face of music culture, and whose massive success is arguably the moment when house music was pushed out of the underground to became a truly global phenomenon.
JD Twitch casts an ear across the musical legacy of Acid House for this special exploration and celebration of UK dance music history. With 30 years partying experience, 10 years as resident and co-founder of seminal club night PURE, 20 years as one half of Glasgow’s legendary Optimo, Twitch has been profoundly immersed in dance culture for most of his creative life. As a DJ his credentials are beyond reproach. As a music fanatic he possesses an enviable knowledge and no small degree of personal experience of this phenomenon that we broadly term DANCE MUSIC.
