Subcity Soundclash

29.05.10 // Soundclash #2 - Noise
Its second time around for Soundclash and we got together some weirdos for a slumberous, intense, swathing, non-linear and confusing experience for those who came in set for a Hetherington Club night -it was billed as 'heavy' right? Doing it differently from the dance instigators, they filled the neo-gothic Concert Hall with banks of effects, guitars, synths and a gong. Producing back-to-back noise of varying vibrations: harsh and white, micro and drone-tonal.
Subcity Presents...
guests // variedmusic // mixtape // subcity
This week's Presents brings two hours of top notch techno and house from Glasgow legends Slam. Having co-founded Soma, one of the world's most respected dance music labels, as well as running the infamous Pressure and Return to Mono club nights which regularly bring the biggest names in the scene to the city, all while still finding the time to regularly release their own dancefloor weapons, Stuart and Orde have built up a formidable reputation both locally and globally. Domm (Slave To The Rhythm) introduces an exclusive set from the duo, recorded just for Subcity.

22.05.10 // Just D.I.S.C.O Vibin'
Summertime is here, and Martin from Theez Boyz R Athletes is inviting you to join him in praising this joyous solar orientation the best way we can – by dancing like eejits to disco music. Playing out all the best Nu-Disco tracks he can get his hands on - the dark sexy vibes of Black Devil Disco Club (rediscovered in 2004 when Richard D James unearthed their debut 1978 LP at a car boot sale and promptly re-released it), the breezy, uplifting sounds of Lindstrom (a one man disco furnace at the forefront of contemporary disco, so talented in fact that he comes close to making The Doves sound good) and the dance club oriented vibrations of Prins Thomas, In Flagranti and Zombie Nation.
This is a two hour disco mixdown of space echo, cowbell, 4/4, soaring strings, wah-wah guitar and plump bass. Platforms optional.
One More Tune
electro // glasgowpatter // indie // techno // hiphop
17.05.10 // One More Tune part XXIV - all vinyl
Bringing a big black plastic bag of vinyl to pound out a wonky tech set, Matthewwanmairchoon is one of the reasons for risking bass induced tinnitus and severe cataracts when you get down to the front at our LASER party. Its an all vinyl, all heavy boom-boom, all good mix.
He just listed every track he has played this year on the internets in chronological order to make sure he has kept fresh this year. If you see him at a party ask if he sincerely believes 'music is hope', because we do Matthew, we do, swearsies!

13.05.10 // 013 - Kanji Kinetic (Trouble & Bass, Coin Op)
After successfully banging out the filth at our In About It! Launch Party, Kanji Kinetic (Coin Operated, Trouble & Bass) kindly agreed to come back to Subcity HQ for a bit of a botch and some more fine tunage.
This show is the result of a lack of sleep, an overdose of bass and a few warped minds being forced together in a cramped up studio.

07.05.10 // Live Election 2010 Special
Subcity satirical stalwarts Solar Island gathered round a bank of TVs on election night and spent 4 hours shouting and singing as well as ripping into everyone from James George Hargreaves to tweeting politicians and the BBC's Election music.
Featuring an interview with Churchill, Twitter updates with Stephen Hawkin, live reportage from the Glasgow count, a live performance from the Stupid Idiots, a drinking game and much much more.
