Dear Optimo Music friends,
We’d love to take the opportunity to celebrate the incredible music released on Optimo Music over the past 16+ years.
Every single artist on the label – from local Glasgow heroes to global collaborators – was chosen by Keith (JD Twitch) because he believed in them. Optimo Music has always been about trusting ears, taking risks, and creating a home for the most adventurous, heartfelt, and radical sounds out there. If it’s on the label, it’s because Keith recognised a unique talent in every artist he released.
With over 250 releases across Optimo Music and its sub-labels – including Digital Danceforce, Optimo Trax, and Against Fascism Trax – there’s a vast archive to explore. Today’s the perfect time to dive in, discover something new, and show some love to the artists whose music continues to carry Keith’s spirit forward. As many of you know, Keith has been diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour. He and his family have been overwhelmed with the support they’ve received, including contributions to the fund for his ongoing care: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/love2jdtwitch
You can also read a personal message from Keith — and share a message of love and support back to him — at https://www.jdtwitch.com. Supporting Optimo Music these days is more than just buying music — it’s supporting Keith, his artists, the community he’s nurtured, and the legacy of care, curiosity, and connection that he’s developed over decades.
Keith loves our ears. We love Keith.
With love and thanks,
The Optimo Music Family
