I hope you can read it, and please, if you ever feel wrapped up in the midst of sadness, depression, pain, and with thoughts of suicide... hit me up: oscarglec@gmail.com. 
Sometimes we just need someone to listen to us.

This does not have to be this way, friends. The thoughts and ways of God towards us are higher than ours - Isaiah 55:8-9. He can bring a fresh and new revelation to our lives.

Subtract Music is a Los Angeles-based record label, event producer, and artist collective that has shaped the West Coast’s electronic music landscape since 2011. Founded by Anton Tumas and a small circle of like-minded friends, Subtract was built as a platform for forward-thinking artists—emerging and established alike—driven by a belief in music that lasts beyond the moment.

The label’s debut, Black Rock City by a then-rising DAVÍ, paired with a remix from Robert Babicz, set the tone for its identity: atmospheric, meticulous, and unconcerned with trends. From there, Subtract followed a deliberately measured path, curating a catalog that spans deep house, techno, and electronica. Standout moments include Pezzner’s melancholic Evelyn, Babicz’s infectious Beautiful, and Vinayak A’s experimental Set Her Free, alongside remixes from John Digweed, Hernán Cattáneo, Guy J, Matthew Dekay, and Stimming. The interplay between newcomers and seasoned veterans has become a defining feature of the label.

Beyond the studio, Subtract is equally known for its events. Its long-running Subtract On The Pier residency—now in its 10th season—has brought artists from Mathew Jonson and Lee Burridge to Patrice Bäumel and Doc Martin to Long Beach waterfront. As producer of the Love Long Beach Festival, the collective helps draw over 10,000 attendees annually, balancing cutting-edge programming with a strong sense of community. Subtract sound systems have powered some of LA’s most respected underground gatherings and set new benchmarks for immersive audio at Black Rock City.

With a release schedule that favors intention over volume, Subtract Music continues to evolve while holding firm to its original ethos: quality over quantity, artistry over hype. In a culture that moves quickly, it remains a steady voice for the underground.

From his early releases on the legendary german imprint raster-noton, to his more recent output aimed at the club, Kangding Ray managed to trace a singular trajectory, navigating the unexplored territories between experimental music and dance music.

Through his consistency as both Live performer and DJ, and a number of critically acclaimed releases, Kangding Ray showed his ability to keep a genuine artistic approach, while slowly crafting a unique universe, equally focused on emotional response and visceral impact.

Kangding Ray’s music tests boundaries, evolving constantly in its exploration of texture and rhythms, while talking equally to the body and the mind.
From his past as architect, Kangding Ray kept a multidisciplinary approach to art, applying his craft in diverse artistic fields such as visual arts, film scores, audiovisual installations and dance performances.
