White Lotus Mix by Optimum Trans

OP(T)I(M)UM-TRANS is Jezadin Nazifovski (Jez) and Matthew Xue (Moopie) – regular fixtures at various late-night establishments around Melbourne. Taking it down a few bpm from their usual peak club activity, they’ve prepared a soothing, zen-inducing lullaby of rare tracks especially for our relaxation. Post-club, pre-bed, mid-stress – this mix guarantees swift passage to the chill zone.

In the winter of 2008, Moopie scanned the directories for an electrician. Shortly after, a bearded man arrived. The rest, as they say, is history. Optimum Trans have since notched up an impressive several year stint DJing around Melbourne, making regular cameos at C Grade at the Mercat, instituting a yearly post Valentines Day ‘garlic fever’ Rooftop take over, and mixing for the highly regarded likes of A Colourful Storm and Noise in My Head. We happily welcome them to the ranks of EARS.
