YEAH !!

Something different...a journey courtesy of some of my old/new synths...will be posting some clips from new Ed Rush & Optical LP soon...

Osmosis - Optical

Early classic from Optical and a pivotal development in the genre, released on Metalheadz Metal Tin Boxset in 1997.

Optical - TO SHAPE THE FUTURE REMIX (1997)

Very rare unreleased track from Ed Rush, Optical & Fierce from 1997...lost in time and recovered from a Music House 10" Dubplate!

Ed Rush, Optical & Fierce - Red Floor(unreleased)

The very first track to be released on Virus! Soon to be available to buy online, a brand new beautiful digital remaster, from Beatport and i-Tunes!!

Buy This!

Ed Rush & Optical - Medicine (VRS001) Virus 1998

She is whispering in your ear some voodoo sh*t, a journey to some other place, hold onto your hat!!

Ed Rush, Optical & Fierce - Alien Girl (Prototype 1998)

Unreleased remix(2002) of the classic 'Slip Thru' taken from the  'Wormhole' LP by Ed Rush & Optical!!

Optical - Slip Thru (Ed Rush & Optical Remix) (Virus unreleased)

Crusty 10" Music House Dubplate of the first mixdown of The Shining from 1997 by Optical. Complete with crackles and all. Sorry for wrong title before...was a moment of madness at 5am ;o]

Optical - The Shining (Original Mix) - Metro Recordings

An unreleased track from 1997, lost in a pile of DAT's somewhere in the studio amongst other bits of old fruit and rizla.

Optical - Zoner (Virus unreleased 1997)

One of my personal favourites from our early releases on Virus. Taken from VRS003 'Ed Rush & Optical's 3rd single on the label in 1998.

ED RUSH & OPTICAL - 'Satellites' (VIRUS RECORDINGS)1998

I really love the atmosphere of this tune. It takes me to somewhere else for a while. Josh Wink was and is a great inspiration to us here at Virus.

Josh Wink - Simple Man - Optical Remix - Ovum 1998

This was an unreleased track from 1998, it got lost amongst other work but revived from a 10" dubplate, it was called 'Can U Read?' on my plate because people used to come up and try and read the names of tunes on my plates when I DJ'ed so I thought I would have some fun and it ended up being the only name it ever got. Was finally released on the Virus Vaults CD in 2005 and is available to buy from Beatport.

Optical - Can U Read? - Virus Dubplate 1998

More from the vaults at Virus HQ. Drum Cru special dub from 1999. feat.(as far as I remember...Ed Rush, Optical, Fierce, Dj Fresh) lost in time somewhere in Acton Safestore, our home for many years for the studio.

DRUM CRU - THE WATCHER (UNRELEASED)

Another lost in time production from Ed Rush & Optical...rescued from DJ Bailey's dublate collection.

Ed Rush & Optical - Razorback (Virus) (1997 unreleased)
