Never heard of optimo? Have a dig around they have been going for years, did a great essential mix years ago which only this week got mentioned in a piece in the Guardian on the 100 most important BBC recordings. https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2022/oct/06/the-100-greatest-bbc-music-performances-ranked?fbclid=IwAR0_J61s-JlMov_2F4qH0UQWtCFteC712hHHYLaGLRiV-yxOnvrgBW3szIs

I lead a very sheltered life.
Or, more accurately, I'm so swamped by music I don't have the capacity to recall artists or tracks.
Someone asked me if I'd heard of Tale of Us the other day and I said "no"
A few hours later I noticed I was playing a remix by them that I'd paid money for yet had no idea who they were.
"The camping fields and toilets and food tents were gloriously relaxed, with quietly stylish people wallowing in the music and the site-wide aesthetic, which was earthy without the mungbeans, hippy without the terrible trousers, and radical without the droning egotism."
How does he know about my trousers?
