Cassette week.

I’ve spent quite a bit of time in recent months thinking about Keith McIvor AKA JD Twitch, who passed sway on Friday. There is much more to come, but here’s a first, raw tribute. Rest in power Keith - we’ll miss you x

You’re not wrong. That soporific Floating Points record still gives me the shivers.

😂 very good!

7" of U Roy - King Tubbys I'Ficially on Jackpot label. Released in 1973. Produced by Bunny Lee.

And here is the flip side of this 7". It uses the same rhythm but without the synth overdub and U Roy comes up with different lyrics...

#Raveyardshift last one from me and no apologies its a long one. Keith was always big into PWOG and along with the legend that was John Peel tuned my ear to all the right kind of stuff, so its fitting that they get brought together in this #jdtwitch forever

It’s with immense sadness that I’m writing to tell you Keith passed away peacefully yesterday at 2.06pm at The Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice in Glasgow. In a 28 year partnership he changed my life immeasurably and together we took our work in directions and to places few people are lucky enough to explore. I am forever grateful for everything he bestowed on me, both as a partner in music and as a friend. Keith’s intensity and passion for life, for music, for creativity and for positive change simply never let up. He was formidable. His belief in people and the idea that standing together, that our collective strength is powerful was unwavering. I loved him for that. My thoughts are with Keith’s family and friends. Thank you to them and the extended group who have tirelessly supported Keith and each other in the last few months. Thank you to the staff at The Hospice who made this last while as good as it possibly could be. Keith left us far too soon. He will go now to travel those space-ways but I know his energy remains in every one of us who had the privilege of knowing him. I love you forever Keith. “All things pass, into the night…”

It grieves me beyond words to share the sad news that, after some months of suffering from glioblastoma, #JDTwitch of @optimo-espacio.bsky.social has passed. His #Optimo partner JD Wilkes has posted this message on their Instagram account.
