On Day 3 I was joined by Optimistic Soul, aka Sibusiso Mpofu. 

A resident of both Sub Club with Jaiva and Berkeley Suite with Africa Is Now, Optimistic Soul is putting the sounds of his cultural roots into the city of Glasgow. A modern pioneer of the afro-house genre, with inspiration coming from artists like Black Coffee and Kerri Chandler, he has been dj’ing for a number of years now and is gradually building a solid reputation for himself in the club scene.

Expect to hear his thoughts on being on the Riverside lineup, how his club residencies in the city are going, how Glasgow has reacted to the sounds of afro house, how he takes his music career each day as it comes, his musical influences, why Black Coffee means so much to him and what’s coming up in the near future.
