Optiv & BTK

Optiv & BTK

Optiv & BTK are a drum and bass duo associated with neurofunk and techstep. The act brings together Optiv and BTK, with Optical describing them as a combination of different production strengths: BTK contributes breakbeat-driven rhythms and Optiv focuses on sound design and bass, including his own approach to psychedelic, filtered stab sounds associated with techno.

The pair are presented as working in collaboration within the drum and bass scene, where their music is described in terms of dancefloor rhythm, bass weight and detailed production. Their work is linked with the broader drum and bass sound and the darker, more technical styles around neurofunk and techstep.
