*It has been an honor to watch Optimus Grime grow as a dj over the last year. Before the first time I watched/heard him play his reputation was a buzz in the dj community. His unique style of mashups and fusing of different electronic music styles stood out from most DJS in the Calgary electronic music scene. Optimus was renowned for experimenting with the music he played and he was willing to try mixing anything to stand out from the crowd. The first time I had the pleasure to meet Optimus Grime it was when he was preforming on our newly founded radio station Phresh FM. Phresh FM had many technical issues at that time because of our lack of experience. Optimus was extremely professional and only offered words of encouragement while we suffered through system crashes and glitches. During his hour set Optimus Grime blended genres of electronic music that I as a dj did not think was possible.
