Taken from a "Knowledge Magazine" interview(1st June,2012) with Optiv,BTK and Optical: "Optical: [...]I think what has made this work for me is that BTK brings from his music the breakbeat production and rhythms that make you want to dance and Optiv is a master at sounds and bass, particularly his own take on the psychedelic filtered stab sounds once found in techno, they just talk to you and he has mastered the art.
