JD Twitch & JG Wilkes aka Optimo Espacio do what they do best on this 21-track selection of nocturnal beauties. Their follow-up to Fabric 52 – the duo’s last commercially available mix CD – takes a lowlit side-entrance into a private backroom of pharmaceutically effective aces opening with Grouper’s ‘Vanishing Point’ and closing with an amazing cover of Suicide’s ‘Dream Baby Dream’. In between they cut a path thru the slow strobes and flashing red lights via deepest techno from Terrence Dixon and Kraftwerk-sampling house from QX-1 to the slow throb of Recondite’s ‘Cleric’ to an amazing pile-up of Byetone’s ‘Plastic Star’/Kode 9 & The Space Ape’s ‘Sine Of The Dub’/Hieroglyphic Being’s ‘Imaginary Soundscapes 9’/Silent Servant ‘Invocation’, through to another amazing run of Hecker ‘bsfºtyk 5’/ Nurse With Wound ‘Ketamineaphobia’/Cater Tutti ‘Coolicon’ and more from Deadboy, Like A Tim and Voigt & Voigt. This is total dark art DJing territory; a masterful mix from two of the best in field.
