events // Subcity 106.6FM Launch Party

Friday 20th February
Glasgow School of Art
£6 Limited Tickets & £7/8 Tickets from GUSRC and Vic Bar // £8 (door)
10pm-3am

On February 20, Subcity Radio is going FM for a month. Of course, we're having a party to celebrate.

Kid Zipper // Pooch (Live) // Dance! Dance! Dance!
Vendor Defender (Live) // Theez Boyz R Athletes
Full Phat & Matthew One More Tune // Whoa!gan
Butterscotch, Loki & Skribbo (The Being) with DJ Krash Slaughta
The Glasgow Gospel Choir // Ladyboydisco // The Revenge of Tom & Lol

We didn't need to look too far to find out how to pack the Glasgow School of Art. We've got new faces, fresh tunes, and hot talent growing right under our nose. The ones-to-watch, the hottest-new-things - whatever you want to call it - this kind of line-up's not happening anywhere else in the city because no-one else knows how.

By ramming the Art School with over 12 acts we've covered musical bases to please even the most stubborn afficionados and get the place sweating. Think electro to dubstep, techno to retro, disco to gospel.

Acts to look out for include Twisted Wheel's Dance!Dance!Dance! DJs bringing disco-funk, a live set from self-styled dirty disco bitches Pooch, slick electro from dance conoisseurs Theez Boyz R Athleetz, and a back-to-back mash up from Subcity veteran Full Phat (Obese) and Matthew Craig (One More Tune/Cheap N Nasty).

The night's a pretty good idea of what to expect from a month of FM broadcasting, and if the past nights put on by the station are anything to go by, this one should be a belter. For over 13 years, Subcity has been piling in the speakers in venues across Glasgow, from The Arches to the Hetherington Research Club, and the name's become notorious for putting on homegrown acts to make any professional DJ quiver, from motown to grime, hiphop to neurofunk. The latest series of party nights at the Research Club has seen the station's own DJs and guests alike playing to an intimate, sweaty crowd, selling out every time. Say no to the superclub - say yes to music generated in the city's own tenements.

Tune your boom box to 106.6FM from February 20 for the best mix of talent to hit the west of Scotland.
