Subcity at the Research Club

£4 // non members welcome // 9pm-2am

Boom Monk Ben // Shaun fae Solar // Simon Bryan // Hudson Mo // Full Phat

Summer's here; it's time to turn off the radiators and stuff the jaikets back in the wardrobe, and Subcity's having a final blowout party to celebrate. Friday 23rd May sees the last in the series of the Subcity house parties at the Hetherington Research Club. True to the station's music policy on air, the nights have been about re-defining the clubscene: a hand picked selection of the station's talent playing every record like it's someone's living room and the police are on their way.

True to the station's reputation as a springboard for aspiring young DJs these parties have also showcased the best in new talent the station has to offer alongside the stalwarts of the city's clubs.

Since the start of the academic year, for one Friday each month, the drinking spot of postgraduates and professors has been transformed into a sweaty dancing box with a couple of hundred idiots out on the randan dancing to everything from digital disco fiends Record Playerz to Govan's finest selectors Argonaut Sounds.This last night is going to be a special one:

Starting things off is Simon Bryan, the newest find from the late night depths of the Subcity schedule: an unassuming bedroom DJ with a passion for minimal bleepery and German tech-house. Next up residents Boom Monk Ben and Shaun fae Solar will have four decks between them, but they'll be contending with Glasgow's fidget pioneer Full Phat trying to hustle his way on the decks whenever one of them turns their back. Expect a slightly worrying mix of house, baltimore, basslines and 80s pop classics all played through the excessively large soundsystem.

Following up this nonsense and finishing off the night is a man on everyone's lips right now, Hudson Mo (Warp / Luckyme). A Subcity veteran presenting various shows since his days as the youngest UK DMC finalist, he has recently seen success as a producer, having already being snapped up as the latest signing for Warp Records. His critically acclaimed Ooops EP sees Hudson re-jigging R&B tracks, slowing them down, deconstructing and rebuilding them with a deep, bass-heavy edge and a loose, almost frayed percussive swing - the result being a series of unbelievably heavy, funked up and utterly filthy reinterpretations that will no doubt wreak havoc in clubs long after this release has disappeared into the eBay ether.

It's going to be a messy one. The racks are being loaded with extra amps, the carpet's being rolled up, the paintings are off the walls and safely locked away. Arrive early to be part of the rammy.

£4 // non members welcome // 9pm-2am

Record Playerz Dee-Jays // Boom Monk Ben
Shaun fae Solar // Ruin it

A couple of hundred sweaty young bodies stuffing their jackets behind the radiators, trying not to knock the picture frames off the walls, dancing to bass heavy re-edits, inside an old Victorian town-house in the Westend.

By day you'll find professors and post-graduates having a quiet coffee, but come the end of the month Subcity Radio have other plans: loading in a pair of decks and a pile of speakers to have themselves a house party.

Resident DJ Boom Monk Ben is enjoying getting sweaty in a small room:
"I remember the massive nights at The Arches very well but I feel these more intimate events are exactly what the station and the West End of Glasgow needs. It's free of any pretence and macho posturing that often comes with the promotion of fresh sounds. The energy from the crowd is unrivalled and the venue is perfectly suited for an under the radar rave up. I have played all over UK and Europe in recent months but these nights are still the most fun to be had."

Along with fellow resident and Mixed Bizness veteran Shaun fae Solar, each night sees the station's hottest DJs get the party going and the windows steamed up. So far this year guests have included re-edit scenesters Ooft (Five20East), Glasgow's fidgety pioneer Full Phat (Obese), drum n bass heads Armed Response (Symbiosis) and Govan's finest selectors Argonaut Sounds. The musical policy is much like it is on-air: everything from Sinden to the Pet Shop Boys with a Baltimore remix of Deee-Lite thrown in for good measure.

Joining Shaun and Ben behind the decks on the dancefloor are digital disco party fiends Record Playerz - newcomers to the airwaves but stalwarts of Glasgow clubbing with their institutional Thursday night Art School residency. With such an intimate space the dancefloor fills up quickly, so all the more reason to get down early for the station's top Dubstep show Ruin It who are getting the place loosened up with some heavy heavy basslines.

Get your elbows at the ready as we kick off with a bowel-quaking blend of reggae, ragga and dirty dancehall beats - Lord of the Dancehall arrives fresh from London to get your hips moving and your arse grinding. Representing Glasgow, resident Shaun fae Solar (Rab's Boutique) is joined by Full Phat (Audio Ice Cream, Symbiosis) serving up a truly indulgent mix of baltimore, ghetto-tech, electro and house before its back to the bassline with the Argonaut Sounds boys getting a discovery ticket each and bringing Govan's finest reggae riddims and dancehall delights, infused with the slengteng flavour of Jamaica.

So get down, get low, and keep it high.

Just as everyone else is hiding indoors from the cold, Subcity have been working their way through the winter to provide you with an excuse to get loud and loaded. This January 25th, start the new year Subcity-style with a mixed bag of the finest DJ talent the station has to offer, from baltimore to drum'n'bass.

Subcity have been distorting and ignoring the boundaries of student radio for 13 years, as well as spotting the city with their notorious clubnights, live showcases, djs and even genres before the rest of the city have caught up. The second in this new monthly series of parties sees the station moving in off the streets and steaming up the windows of the University's Research Club in the most intimate offering of hot dj talent the station, and the city, has to offer in one night.

The night kicks off early with funk, soul and hiphop courtesy of Pete McLeod, a prominent face in Glasgow's hiphop dives, before residents and Mixed Bizness veterans Boom Monk Ben (Sub Club HYP) and Shaun fae Solar (Rab's Boutique) take over making sure the dancefloor stays packed with all things baltimore, ghetto-tech, electro and house.

Heading down after their Friday night radio show to bring the night to a sweaty close are Subcity's flagship drum'n'bass DJs Armed Response. One half of the act Yellow Benzene has been making a name for himself in the Scottish dnb scene as resident at hotly tipped night Symbiosis.

Alright listen up. Subcity's having a party, and you're invited. Swing by the research club for around nine on Friday 23rd November. We'll supply the decks, the tunes, and the dark corners. Just bring a few quid, some dancing shoes, and a couple of mates who can last 'til the end. Party ends when we get thrown out.

Some of Subcity's finest slackers and party people are gonna be there to give you a taste of a real house party. Subcity stalwart BoomMonkBen's been busy around town, rocking the legendary Mixed Bizness nights at The Arches and the Glasgow School of Art, as well as the How's Your Party nights at the Sub Club. With a record collection bigger and brighter than you'll find at any student bedsit, the Boom Monk knows how to keep you on your feet. If that's not enough for you, he's bringing a few mates to mix things up. We've got breaks, twisted disco, and everything electrofied in between with rising Glasgow scenesters OOFT!, fresh from sharing the decks with the liked of Sinden and Switch. We've got dark and dirty dubstep and techno from Soundhaus residents Camouflage if you like your beats twitchy and raw. And, if you're still standing, we'll get fellow Mixed Bizness veteran Shaun fae Solar to throw down the breaks, beats and party-electro to keep your hands in the air and get you shaking that a-a-a-ass.

Expect a night of trouser-flapping basslines and belly-shaking beats. All after-parties will be compulsory. You up for it?

Freshers' Week Hyper Rave

Friday 21st September
9pm-2am, free with freshers' pass
Debates Chamber, GUU

Subcity is Glasgow's student radio station, famed for putting on some of the hottest parties on the Glasgow club scene; from huge block parties on University property, to niche nights in the city's most respected clubs.

True to form as one of the only student-run radio stations that refuses to pander to expectations, this Friday sees one of the oldest buildings on campus transformed into a multicoloured sweaty dancing box as the city's finest slackers, dropouts and party people plant a deliciously dangerous mix of crazy visuals and cranked up DJs in the historical GUU Debates Chamber.

The audio-visual assault kicks off with the finest Subcity has to offer, teasing you with a taste of the talent dominating the airwaves from 14th - 23rd September (106.6FM) and all year round on www.subcity.org. From house with Full Phat to party electro with Frantic Ant there's something to tempt even the most reluctant of dancing feet; meanwhile, they've sent down their most dedicated tech-heads to let you live the night in technicolour with light effects and oversized visuals. Neon never looked so good.

Past legendary Subcity nights have included names as hot as Dizzee Rascal and ShitDisco, and this year there's no relenting as they're stepping the pressure up with a double onslaught. This Friday sees French progressive house come to Glasgow as DJ Atom (C2C) makes the kids shake face to face. A must for anyone who knows what's hot and what's not for those excited by the imminently erupting French electro-house scene, Atom's sound emerged at Lyon's underground raves before exploding on to the Ibizan club scene, neatly scooping first place at the DMC World Team DJ champions along the way in 2005 as one half of C2C. Moving onwards and upwards, Subcity have blagged him for one night only to show Glasgow why he deserves the title. Check him out here (bbc.co.uk), here (youtube.com) or check out his MySpace profile here

If you like your music and you like to move, the beats begin at 10.30. The night should undoubtedly finish with your own hazy warden-enraging after-party; get your sunglasses ready for the next morning's walk of shame. A night of big beats, heavy basslines, dirty guitars and sweaty boys and girls.

Check it out on www.subcity.org and during freshers' week on 106.6FM.

Subcity Radio Stage @ West End Festival 07

Sunday 10th June 2007
Lilybank Gardens
grass behind Ashton Lane
Noon - 7pm, Free entry for all ages

Glasgow's premier block rockers Subcity Radio will once again be donning their shorts and shades as they stick a massive pile of speakers and a gazebo on university property. They've promised The Secretary of Court they will be on their best behaviour but that hasn't stopped them in the past.

Plugging in to a Lilybank Gardens lamp-post will be a selection of the finest young (and not so young) DJs in the city, including: Vegas, Argonaut Sounds, Nuff Stylee, Build and Destroy, Yellow Benzene, Rab's Boutique, Screaming Blue Soul and Solar Island's Tim (royale rumble champ). If their radio shows are anything to go by, expect to hear anything from rock n roll to sesame street hiphop with a touch of dancehall and drum n bass to shake the grade A surroundings.

The closest thing to a block party the west end will see, as long as the university big-wigs are distracted by the parade.

Lilybank Gardens is the large grassy area just up from Ashton Lane and Byres Road
Byres Road will be closed to traffic all day.
Stalls, Live Music, Food, Drink and a Mardi Gras Parade.

Tight Meat / Richard Youngs / Heather Leigh

Glasgow University Union
Wednesday 21st March, 9pm
£6 on the door

TIGHT MEAT will be finishing off their UK tour with a potentially head-spinning home-coming performance in the Glasgow University Union on 21st March 2007. After a slew of high-profile gigs with the likes of ALEXANDER TUCKER, JOSEPHINE FOSTER, JAZZFINGER and MV+EE, this heavily intoxicated aural spine-melt is sure to be a proper knees up! Expect skittery, densely polyphonic free rhythms (courtesy of SCATTER / BONNIE 'PRINCE' BILLY's drummer), wailing post-AYLER sax and the most physical double-bass playing you've ever seen from a man in his 60s.

RICHARD YOUNGS had to cancel his last appearance with Subcity due to illness, but this time it's a sure thing. Performing a vocal and electric guitar set, this one's going to be pure molten psych. As a lynchpin in the 90s British underground folk/improv scene, Richard Youngs has quietly built himself a massive reputation for twisting archaic, rustic folk forms into fresh, liberated mediums without sacrificing any of the magic that characterised the best 60s/70s shamanism. Glasgow performances from this man are beyond rare - miss this at your peril.

HEATHER LEIGH's spine-tingling vocals are still haunting the recesses of everyone's brain matter after her last Subcity appearance with MATTHEW BOWER and CHRIS CORSANO. Switching from a gentle, innocent melancholia to a full-on paint-stripping banshee wail at the drop of a hat, this former CHARALAMBIDES member is an true undergroung jewel. And you will never have heard a pedal-steel guitar played like this in your life!

So come on down to the GUU on 21st March at 9pm for an evening of beautiful, unique and exhilarating live music. BLACK STATIC TRANSMISSION will provide some suitably chilling audio entertainment between bands as an extra bonus. £6? Bargain.

Glasgow School of Art
£5 adv (src & vic bar) / £7 door

Only a month after packing out the Vic Bar with the house party vibe of Subcity's HiFi, Glasgow's finest return to the Art School to bring you two floors of sports-entertainment inspired mayhem. Subcity's Battle Royale will see over 20 DJs slog it out over 2 rooms, 8 decks and 10 rounds. Who's arm will be raised as the undisputed champion?

Subcity's management have punched above their weight to bring you an electrifying card, featuring a mix of Subcity superstars and enthusiastic rookies. The stipulations are set and the titles are on the line.

You will see DJ's battling for supremacy, letting their fingers do the talking while the crowd are asked to vote with their feet. Dancing in the red or blue corners will allow you, the audience, to select your champions.

Belts will change hands, depending on who rocks the crowd on the night.

Subcity and Volcanic Tongue present...

Glasgow University Union
Saturday 24th February, 8pm
£8 on the door

Join Subcity and Volcanic Tongue for an evening of pure psychedelic indulgence at the GUU on Sat 24th February. Multi-limbed fire-drumming legend Chris Corsano joins Matthew Bower (bliss-out hallucinogenic mind-melt) and Heather Leigh Murray (haunting vocal innocence and deconstructed pedal steel blues). This is the first (and possibly only) time these 3 legends of outsider music have played together - be there or gouge your own face out.

Richard Youngs also makes a rare appearance with a solo electric guitar set, hooked straight into the vein of 70's psych wailing and melancholy avant-garde folk. After a storming set at All Tomorrow's Parties last year, this promises to be pure electricity straight from the source.

Support comes from Nackt Insecten (zoned-out drone syrup) and GODOT (sub-bass trauma and skin-grafting laptop abuse).

Head to the Reading Room inside the GUU at 8pm with £8 in your back pocket - it couldn't be spent on anything else.

Subcity at Freshers' Week 05

Freshers' Week 2005 sees the return of Subcity Radio to the decks of Glasgow's clubs. On a mission to expose the freshers' to as many new genres as musically possible, we will be hosting Subcity's HiFi in Jim's Bar, QMU, from Tuesday to Thursday. On Friday night we up-sticks and move down to Deep 6 in the GUU for the Freshers' Party 05.

Tuesday | Jim's Bar, QMU | 9pm - 2am

Tuesday is all about house, in the broadest sense. Ranging from US garage (as in the kind of stuff underground disco legend Larry Levan played at his infamous NYC club the Paradise Garage), to the tougher house sound of Chicago and deep, moody techno from Detroit, right through to contemporary grooves and twists from Europe and America.

Wednesday | Jim's Bar, QMU | 9pm - 2am

If Tuesday was brought to you by the reassuring 4/4 beat, Wednesday is brought to you by the people who reacted to such self-assurance by twisting it into unrecognisable and often unsettling forms. From warped soundscapes and downtempo beats, to 2-step dub, glitch and breaks mixed by DJs who know how to make a dance floor rock.

Thursday | Jim's Bar, QMU | 9pm - 2am

Thursday is roots day with bowel-shaking b-lines, Jamaican dancehall riddims, funk, hip-hop and bashment - delivered with attitude and irresistible energy.

Friday | Deep 6, GUU | 9pm - 2am

All hints of musical snobbishness go out of the window on Friday as Subcity go into party mode, featuring some of Glasgow's most loved party DJs playing classic disco, hip-hop, funk and soul anthems and a few surprises guaranteed to get the party started - Subcity style.
