The Sub Club are delighted to be joining Red Bull Music Academy for one of the biggest ever celebrations of UK club culture as they mark the 15th anniversary of RMBA with Red Bull Revolutions in Sound onboard the EDF Energy London Eye, on Thursday 14th November.

Taking over one of the capital’s most iconic landmarks, Red Bull is bringing thirty of the most legendary UK clubs and club nights of the past and present together for one night, each hosting their own capsule for a 360 degree homage to the most important players in the UK club landscape over the past 30 years.

Revolutionaries in their own right, Subculture’s Harri and Domenic along with long term friend and Subculture favourite Derrick Carter are among the artists set to perform.

Subculture is one of the world’s longest running underground house nights with Harri and Domenic knocking out just short of 20 years of their seminal, week in, week out Saturday night residency which in itself may well be a world record!

As an RBMA EXCLUSIVE in anticipation of their Revolutions in Sound appearance on the London Eye, Harri & Domenic recorded this hour long LIVE mix during one of their “Get Down with the Residents Parties” earlier in October.

We hope you enjoy this Subculture taster ahead of what is shaping up to be one of the biggest events of the year. If you are unable to join us in London town, all thirty capsules will be broadcast simultaneously on Channel4.com in the Uk in partnership with Channel 4, and globally on Red Bull’s You Tube channel, so fans across the globe can participate in this unique celebration of club music.

*** KEEP AN EYE OUT ON THE SUB CLUB BLOG FOR MORE EXCLUSIVE SUBCULTURE CONTENT NEXT WEEK AND ALSO SOME TREATS FROM SPECIAL GUEST, CHICAGO HOUSE LEGEND DERRICK CARTER****

In advance of their appearance in front of millions worldwide via the web on Thursday 14th November, you can catch Harri & Domenic in the flesh this Saturday night, in the intimate setting of Subculture at the Sub Club.

Subculture Revolutions In Sound Taster Mix                               [LIVE AT SUB CLUB] 12/10/13

Last month on the 13th of October, we invited house music hero & all round good guy Derrick Carter to bring his 'Derrick Does Disco' party to the Sub Club helping to celebrate GLASGAY! 20th Anniversary.

The source of many a man-crush (particularly from our local DJ geeks and record freaks) our sexy affair with Derrick has spanned a good couple of decades. Perhaps it’s his desirable physique, that intense beaded brow around 2am or his disarmingly charming manliness from the moment we met him off the plane.

Either way we’re always hot for him and so was everyone in the crowd who joined us as we got down and dirty in a darkened room and showed each other some serious loving, with no strings attached till 3am.

With Derrick in control for the full four hours we had to get the roadblocks out. Here is an hour of this amazing set specially picked out by the one man block party himself.

NEXT STOP IS A LONDON REUNION WHERE HE JOINS HARRI & DOMENIC IN THE SUB CLUB POD FOR RED BULL'S REVOLUTIONS IN SOUND WHICH WILL BE BROADCAST LIVE ON CHANNEL 4OD. TURN ON, TUNE IN & DROP OUT X

 


'Derrick Does Disco' [Recorded LIVE at Sub Club 13/10/13]

HARRI & DOMENIC ALL NIGHT LONG

Incase you didn't know Subculture is one of the world's longest running underground house nights with Harri and Domenic knocking out just short of 20 years of their week in, week out Saturday night residency which in itself may well be a world record!

We have some massive guests lined up over the holiday season but, as we have pointed out before, people regularly tell us “it’s the resident’s nights that are the best at the Sub Club.” - and we couldn't agree more!!

We hope you enjoy this four hour set ahead of this weekend's 5 hour residents session.
(recorded live at Subculture on Saturday 9th November)

"Born from the detritus of the fallen galactic autocracy, Captain Jaffa scours the benthic depths of what is left of humanity. His self serving mission is to exploit this ruined kingdom, absorbing what little good he finds through soulless manipulation. Jaffa's only remaining entertainment is destruction and disco.

Scarred inside and out, Jaffa presides over the demented perversion that is the Thunder Disco Club. A mecca for the twisted and nefarious, this club is host to a star studded cast of the nubile and naive. Contorting their bodies and dressed to impress, if they can't make it here, they won't make it anywhere. The sultan of sin rules with an iron fist, destroying those who dare to displease. Friendships are false, fame is fickle, and failure is fatal. Moves are everything and if you can't strut, you're in a rut. The time has come for Jaffa to complete his roster of supple sex students: who will make the grade…."

THUNDER DISCO CLUB VS. JOYBOX :: CAPTAIN JAFFA'S SUPER SEX ASSIGNMENT

Quite simply one of the great Sub Club greats and a well-loved luminary of ours to boot. If we had cause to build our own Hall Of Fame, Mark would find pride of place in its halls as one of the finest figures to ship-shape our sound and help cement a solid musical reputation.

Ahead of his return to the Sub Club this Sunday the 1st of June Mark Farina recorded this exclusive Mix for your listening pleasure. This is a slower disco-y deep type mix around 118bpms. Hope ya like! 

"Whether you're planning to take your submarine for a shallow cruise at your local reef or fathoms below on the bottom of the ocean…this is a lovely soundtrack for your submarine festivities. Deep dubby disco techy goodness for the Depths."

On the sixth day of Xmas our true love gave to thee! In the spirit of Christmas and for his beloved Sub Club family, Hammer decided to jam out an 808 edit for day 6 of our twelve days festivities. It's an old Italo record that was gathering some dust… “the original had snippets of potential but needed groove and some of that 808 beef!(or Turkey)”

Slam's monthly residency, Return To Mono at the world-famous Sub Club in Glasgow, has become a staple of the ever-advancing music scene in the West of Scotland. Guests like Ivan Smagghe, Adam Beyer, Alex Under, Claude VonStroke, Dusty Kid, Paul Ritch & Marc Houle have brought some delights to the club - but the one thing that has cemented Return To Mono in Glasgow's clubbing history has been the quality and consistency of Slam's warm-up sets. Orde & Stuart have been perfecting their trade for many moons, and this is evident when you catch a Return To Mono set.

Our Monopod series is recorded Live from these special nights in Glasgow's Sub Club and is usually the first hour of music in the club. So expect a mellow journey from dub and lo-fi through to deep, grooving house music.

This set in particular was Slam's warm-up to Nick Curly, who really rocked the Sub Club that night.

SLAM - Monopod 008 [Recorded April9th2010 @ Sub Club, Glasgow]

Hot on the heels of podcast 13 comes this one to celebrate 50 years of Jamaican independence. It was recorded live at the Sub Club, Glasgow on Sunday 29th July 2012 and is an edit of the 4 hours of Jamaican music played that night. Twitch did a one off night of all Jamaican music in 2011, that time only playing 7" singles and had so much fun that we decided to make it an annual event, this time allowing a few 12"s and album tracks in there and giving the night a name - Bucky Skank - named after a Lee "Scratch" Perry song. There is a very popular fortified wine on the West coast of Scotland called Buckfast that is known locally as Buckie so it seemed the perfect name. Twitch will also be launching a Bucky Skank record label soon to release his and others takes on Jamaican dancehall. It won't be a very prolific label.

Alongside the records there was a Roland Space Echo, a dub siren, a very old percussion synthesiser and Maschine, used to trigger various sounds and vocal samples. JD Twitch was playing the records and triggering the samples while JG Wilkes was operating the Space Echo, dub siren and percussion synth. Listening back, we probably overdid the sirens and bleeps in places, but hey, it sounded good on the night. 

Musically it is all over the place and spans 50 years of Jamaican (and British-Jamaican) music but not in any chronological or even logical order. Reggae purists may well be horrified, but whatever, it was one of the best nights we put on all year. I got to play so many records I adore and the atmosphere in The Sub Club was fantastic, bringing in a lot of people who had probably never set foot in the club in their lives before. There were a lot of big smiles all night. Normally when I finish a dj set I am quite wired but after playing this music for 4 hours with only a quick bolt to the toilet mid way I was incredibly relaxed (as were all the staff in the club). Rastafarians believe Reggae is the music to bring world peace and unite mankind and even my in built cynicism finds that hard to argue with.

You'll probably notice it starts off quite quietly and gets louder. This is simply due to the volume being turned up as the night went on and we thought it better to leave it how it was rather than mastering the audio. Mixing wise, well, there are a lot of crashing segues and some minimal mixing but this was most certainly a case of a night where the music was far more important than any technical prowess. Give me another ten years of doing this annually and maybe it will all be semi-seamlessly mixed.

I'll end on a controversial note. Over the years I've lost count of the number of times I've heard people say they hate Reggae or that when I've played a single Reggae song in a set it has ruined their night. Apart from "hate" being quite an extreme emotion to direct at music I've always been bewildered how anyone can dismiss an entire nation's music that is so varied, joyous and original and whose DNA has become woven into so much other music, especially here in the UK. Just as I'm always suspicious of anyone who is a Tory I'm suspicious of anyone who can "hate" the entire musical output of Jamaica. Either they haven't been listening very deeply or possibly there is a fundamental flaw in their musical soul?

Almost every track on this podcast was played from vinyl. Jamaican record pressings can be a little bit poor on occasion so there are a few tracks with quite low fidelity and the odd skipping record here and there. As usual we aren't making a track listing available for the podcast, simply because we feel that knowing the contents often precludes actually listening to it. But, if you want to know what anything is, feel free to get in touch and we will let you know. The mix is a 320kbps mp3 (330mb) and is 135 minutes long.
