"It does not get much darker and deeper then this.

No-Dex was founded in early 2003 to initiate a platform for live DnB acts, because the Drum'n'Bass scene is mainly represented by DJ's and MC's playing on almost all party's.No-Dex is trying to get in contact with the best Acts and asks them to join this platform. Together they can promote each other, organize parties everywhere and show people that performing dance music live is the future.
As of today we're listed on their website: www.no-dex.nl
Also the picures of the Jungle Soundclash 4 and Substance parties can be found here (Jungle Soundclash 4) and here. (Substance)
On this site you'll find the latest news about performances and work of Optech and who we are.
Optech is a live drum and bass and visual collective. We try to create an atmosphere where the visuals give the music an extra dimension and the other way around by connecting them to eachother. All the content (audio and visual) reflects ourselves and our vision on drum and bass, design, and the world surrounding us.
Check out the bio and the media section to see what we mean and don't forget to give some feedback on the message board.
- Enjoy!
