Optimo's combine everything from driving techno to northern soul, New York post punk to industrial stomp. Those who's bought there 'Kill the DJ' Mix will testify the genius is not purely the tracks the play but the way they combine them to such effect.

While McIvor DJs, Wilkes diligently taps at a laptop computer by his side, sampling and remixing records as they play. On one occasion, the duo hung microphones over the dancefloor, sampled Optimo's crowd singing along  to Technotronic's old rave hit 'Pump Up the Jam,' and played it back to them: the crowd ended up dancing to themselves!
