Following our 2020 “Lockdown Live” interview series in which we asked how the electronic music scene can innovate post-Covid, we’ve been driven by an ethos of “local scenes, global conversations”.
IOM Recommends is a podcast series all about just that. We spoke to some of our favourite musical figureheads and got their rundown on what makes their city unique.
At its inception, IOM Recommends was a travel guide for the audiophile. During its creation, it transformed into something greater: a series of conversations about the relationship between artist and environment. Expect to pick up on some wicked spots along the way, too - stuff you won’t find on Culture Trip.

If you’re a member of the IOM Community, chances are you’re an Optimo fan, and there are decent odds you’ve seen them at some point over their long and decorated career. JD Twitch and JG Wilkes, that’s Keith and Jonnie, borrowed their moniker from their seminal party at Glasgow’s Sub Club, Optimo (Espacio). It ran every Saturday night without fail from 1997 to 2010, and welcomed everyone from LCD Soundsystem to Ivan Smagghe, Richie Hawtin to Franz Ferdinand through its doors to perform. Optimo now enjoy their position as international club and festival fixtures spinning every genre under the sun to crowds all over the world, and they reflect this breadth of taste in the output of their label, Optimo Music. Yet, their connection to Glasgow remains an intimate one, synonymous as they are with the city’s musical identity. There’s no one we’d have rather spoken to for this episode.
