Glasgow 2014 organisers “forgot” to tell Optimo don he’d been replaced by someone more famous.

With the opening ceremony for this year’s Commonwealth Games due to kick off in a matter of hours, here’s a snippet of what we could have heard soundtracking the events in Celtic Park.

The 12-minute clip is an extract from a mix by JD Twitch, one half of Glasgow’s Optimo crew and all-round DJ legend, which he was asked to put together by the Games’ organisers at the beginning of the year.

But after dropping most of his other projects to spend “a ridiculously long time” researching a mix that represented the Caribbean, African and Asian nations participating in the Games, Twitch submitted his first attempt – and never heard back. According to Twitch, after weeks of emailing the organisers with no reply, he was playing a gig when another artist on the bill “sheepishly came over and told me he had taken over the job from me”.

“I’m still raging about it as when several weeks after that, they finally got in touch they informed me they had ‘forgotten’ to tell me i had been replaced!!” he adds.

Luckily for our inquisitive ears, he’s decided to make the Caribbean section of the mix available for streaming, and while the organisers’ restrictions meant he “couldn’t squeeze any of my beloved Prince Far I or any out there Trinidadian disco records on there”, it’s still a wicked selection of upbeat music from the islands.

Oh, and the more famous artist who’s replaced him? Mylo.

Twitch recently wrote us a fantastic essay on the genius of Coil’s Horse Rotorvator, and last year FACT quizzed him on his fascinating Autonomous Africa project.
