Optical is the pseudonym of Matt Quinn, a renowned
drum and bass producer and
DJ from
England. He is best known for his work with
Ed Rush, fellow head of the
Virus Recordings label, and as a pioneer of the
techstep and
neurofunk sound. His first single for
Metalheadz, 'To Shape the Future'/'Raging Calm' (1997) and his collaborative material with Ed Rush, such as the Wormhole, album (
1998) were archetypal developments in the style. The duo followed this debut album with The Creeps (
