2,5 years ago Optiv was going to play on a party here in Groningen. Due to some giveaway I went on a dinner with Optiv and some guys.

He was really down to earth, nice and there was just something about him. I asked him if he still plays a specific song, called - Stereotype, on his sets. He said 'Oh, fuck man, I might find it somewhere deep down in my collection. 

I also asked him if he could remember playing at Machtig (former DnB party of Noisia), I think 8/9 years ago. He told me that this edition has good memories. When he was just finished with his set, he got a call he was going to be a father. In no time he was back in the UK.
He played Stereotype on the last night I saw him live.

Here a mix inspired by Optiv, with Optiv with a lot of doubles.
