This year marks the 20th anniversary of Optical’s debut record… To celebrate that, Matt put together the 20YearsOfOptical compilation, divided into two parts. There are Optical’s essential solo productions that got remastered especially for this release, and, more importantly, his previously unreleased tracks! Sci-Fi-Step, What’s the Difference? and several other quality tracks, which we featured in Lost Dubs. Apart from those, Vol. 2 contains a brand new remix from Audio, and a track from the Drum Kru supergroup, which once had Optical as one of its members. Album is coming out on digital format, the first volume is already available in digital stores, the second one will be out on the 14th October. There are also plans for the 4-track vinyl EP.
