“You could buy a Jungle record and walk out with a sampler to make your own Jungle record” – for over three decades, @rubadubdist has stood as a cornerstone of Glasgow’s vibrant music scene, carving out a reputation as both a beloved hub for vinyl enthusiasts and a trusted source for pioneering music equipment.

Since its inception in 1992, Rubadub has been more than just a record shop. It has become a cultural institution, fostering creativity, innovation, and an enduring sense of community in the heart of Scotland’s largest city. Initially rooted in the burgeoning sounds of underground dance music, Rubadub quickly became synonymous with genres like techno, house, dub, and experimental electronica. The shop has consistently championed independent artists and labels, showcasing an eclectic mix of records that cater to both seasoned DJs and casual listeners alike.

subcast is born, an incantation of adventurous sonic alchemy behind radiant subs. The inimitable Razrbark kicks things off. Strap in for a chemistry-altering ride.
@razrbark's interview below--->

ℚ: ℍ𝕠𝕨 𝕨𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕕𝕖𝕤𝕔𝕣𝕚𝕓𝕖 ℝ𝕒𝕫𝕣𝕓𝕒𝕣𝕜 𝕚𝕟 𝕒 𝕗𝕖𝕨 𝕨𝕠𝕣𝕕𝕤?

A: Live edge, live wire

Q: Describe the story behind Razrbark's Specific Heat.

A: Specific Heat measures how resistant (or not) substances are to temperature changes, specifically how much energy is needed to raise the temperature of something by one degree. This concept from chemistry has always stuck with me and is something I thought of after listening to the finished product of this mix/let's be real I just think it sounds cool.

When I first started prepping for this mix, I went in a very different direction and had a rough draft, but it felt tedious, trying to force ideas and tracks in a way that required a lot of energy with little output. Sometimes, things pour out of you and sometimes, they don't. 

One day, a very exciting booking came through (spoiler alert: it was Honcho @ Hot Mass). With the adrenaline rush of the booking, I immediately started mixing tracks from the extremes of my USB, and everything flowed really easily. I decided to hit record, and it came together in a way that felt much more organic. I also unearthed many tracks I had forgotten about that were collecting cobwebs on my stick but that I always loved.

Anyway, all this to say, just like in chemistry, sometimes you need the right conditions for a reaction to truly take off~~~

Q: What is your ideal dancefloor (fictional or real).

The Bronze.

Q: When is the last track that made subs glow for you?

A: Two specific tracks come to mind:
https://snappedankles.bandcamp.com/track/come-play-the-trees-crooked-ankles-2
To me this is the perfect track. I played it at Hot Mass in Pittsburgh sometime after 6am a bit slower than this. I love how it has so much raw power behind it. Big chug NRG. I've always loved this song from the same band. It has a very Iggy Pop/Plastic Bertrand sensibility to it, but I've never been able to play it on a dance floor, so I was happy when I found this edit that is a bit more dance floor friendly and still has the rock/dance vibe that I feel is a hallmark of my sound.

Another track:
I just played this song towards the end of my set at Afterlife in Seattle this weekend. The bass was so intense my drink literally bounced across a table and fell to the floor. I'd say the subs were glowing hard.
https://normalpleasure.bandcamp.com/track/heart-palpitations-on-the-m1

Q: What track/artist was a musical game-changer for you?

A: Föllakzoid. It's psych rock, it's techno, it's everything. Each time I've seen them play, it's world-building and expansive. 

Q: If this mix was a book or a movie what would it be? 

A: It would be in Walk Hard Part 2, when Dewey goes through his drum and bass era.

Desapegue do caos e mergulhe no seu mundo! Essa é a trilha sonora perfeita para aquele dia com zero preocupações. Perfeita para quem quer o modo just play

Desemprego

"Dark Matter" is a dark, cinematic electronic track that blends ambient textures with industrial grit. With pulsing bass, haunting synths, and dynamic shifts, it evokes a journey through deep space—mysterious, vast, and emotionally charged.

Dark Matter

“Amigo” is a soulful, Mediterranean reinterpretation of Roma’s original track — filtered through a deep, balearic lens. Sun-soaked guitars, warm grooves, and a laid-back rhythm blend into a nostalgic yet elegant vibe. A tribute to friendship, sunsets, and that soft echo of summer evenings by the coast.

Proni - Amigo
