techstep / neurofunk

Alongside Ed Rush, Matt Quinn (who you’ll undoubtedly know better under his DJ name, Optical) has helped sculpt the drum & bass scene’s multifarious experimentations for nearly two decades now. As producers they pioneered the techstep sound, making crisp and explosive d&b sing on the defining <em>Wormhole</em> album, but as bosses of Virus Recordings they’ve managed to continually stay propulsive releasing music from people like Audio, Optiv & BTK, The Upbeats, Noisia and many many more. A mainstay here, the duo’s forceful and dominating sets are always surefire highlights which is why, ahead of their set headlining Room Two this Friday, we asked Optical to put together an hour long mix which demonstrates a) why we hold them in such high regard and b) why Optical’s still one of the most quietly inventive production forces in modern drum & bass.

Giuseppe Ottaviani has proven to be one of the most consistent Trance producers in the game on numerous occasions and now hits the world with his trademark treatment of Sean Tyas’ ‘Reach Out’.  Coming forth with a techy bassline and anthemic breakdown melody to shatter expectations and demolish clubs, the Italian mastermind has conjured nothing short of a peak-time stormer, rising as the newest addition to the Who’s Afraid Of 138?! catalog.
