Optical  & Mc 2Shy @  Renegade Hardware History Sessions - 2013

Sebastian Weingartshofer’s path into music would’ve been almost inconceivable 10 years ago. In 2010 he created his own YouTube channel under the name Skankandbass as a way of sharing his favourite drum & bass tunes, and within a few uploads he’d started to grow his own online following making full use of the constantly developing digital sphere and the opportunities it provides.

Weingartshofer carried on seeking out the best forthcoming D&B, and once his channel properly took off he used his online profile to start throwing his own parties. Nowadays, the rising talent runs his own artist roster looking after artists like Dimension and 1991, and he’s also started playing regularly with us at FABRICLIVE.

Most recently he joined us in Farringdon back in March, where he set the mood in Room One ahead of 1991 with a peppering of up-front rollers with more classic 170BPM cuts. With his next appearance with us coming up in just over a week alongside the likes of Netsky and Friction, we agreed with Weingartshofer to unlock the first 90 minutes of his set to give an idea of what we should expect when he returns. 

Skankandbass plays at FABRICLIVE on 28/04: fabricldn.co/t9l3xf

Optical is owner of Virus Recordings, Music Producer and DJ from England.

This page is dedicated to my sons: Aidan and Solomon, they are the inspiration for everything I do in life now.

"He is best known for his work with Ed Rush, fellow head of the Virus Recordings label, and as a pioneer of the techstep and neurofunk sound. His first single for Metalheadz, 'To Shape the Future'/'Raging Calm' (1997) and his collaborative material with Ed Rush, such as the Wormhole, album (1998) were archetypal developments in the style. The duo followed this debut album with The Creeps (2000) and The Original Doctor Shade (2003), as well as countless singles and remixes. More recently, the duo have returned to form with their (2009) LP 'Travel The Galaxy' containing the modern classic 'Chubrub' and 'No Cure' LP in 2015."

"He also notably did all of the engineering and production work for Grooverider's album Mysteries of Funk, and work on Goldie's 'Saturns Return' LP. In addition, he has produced solo for many labels including Virus, Metalheadz, Prototype, 31 Records, Metro and released in collaboration with many artists, including Ed Rush, Trace, Dom and Roland, Fierce, and his brother Matrix. The first Optical release was in 1996."

"Matt Quinn's savage dance floor productions as Optical (for, among many others, Groove's own label Prototype) have earned him a place in drum'n'bass's premier division.”

"Optical's pure, unchallenged talent shines through on his solo tunes, showcasing an artist well ahead of his time. No doubt the modern sounds of the likes of D-Bridge, Instra:mental and the rest of the minimalist dark revival heads, draw heavy influence not only from Optical himself, but from his inspirations in Jazz, such as Herbie Hancock and Miles Davis. His ability to blend Jazz, Funk and futuristic, technical soundscapes is masterful. From his early work on Metalheadz and Prototype Recordings to his collaborative work on Virus Recordings and the classic Mysteries of Funk (Grooverider's landmark LP), Optical can perhaps qualify as one of the most underrated musicians of the modern era. His mind has crafted sounds which were never before heard, moods which were completely original, and his vision of the future, although ultimately dark and disjointed, is beautifully vivid and addictive. Its a world he pulls you into with each and every track and only a handful of artists can begin to dream of being this successful in their work."

Virus Recordings has become a DnB scene favourite and continues to release the ultimate in DnB vibes, with artists like C4C, Audio, Optiv & BTK, The Upbeats, Noisia, Gridlok, Ram Trilogy, Matrix, Rymetyme, Sonic & Silver, Pendulum, Mefjus,  InsideInfo
