Welcome to the Sub Club's website. After twenty plus years of partying in a dear green place called Glasgow, the Sub Club still resides deep below number 22 Jamaica Street. Weekend in, weekend out, you can find the best of the city's music makers playing to the best people the city can muster on the best sound system you will hear in Scotland or anywhere in the world for that matter. And joining them are artists from all corners of the planet, enthused by the reputation that the club, hand in hand with it's hedonists, has built over years. Recently voted 10th Best Club in the World by ResidentAdvisor.net and voted in the top 30 in the world by DJ Magazine 2008. A reputuation that promises no prejudice and no limits when it comes to enjoying great music.	So what happens here? Amongst other things the club provides a platform for young, up-and-coming music makers, from laptop troubadors to the Glasgow School of Guitar Bands, while longer serving residents get a free reign to push their music forward. Saturday night's Subculture, lorded over by Harri and Domenic and Sundays, the bastion of Twitch and Wilkes' Optimo, are both known locally, nationally and internationaly for redrawing musical boundries on a regular basis. Add to that local heroes Slam, Numbers, Sensu, Cotton Cake, Kinky Afro, Hyp? and Flux and you have a collection of the best underground talent Glasgow has to offer. Sound good? Then have a look around and if you like what you see, please come join us some weekend soon...
24.09.10 Toddla T @ HYP? On 24th September we welcome Toddla T back to Sub Club after his cancelled session in February. Never ones to hold a grudge, we thought we'd invite everyone’s favourite electro skanker back to show us what we missed. Toddla is responsible for the very best modern dancehall and bassline beats to emerge from these shores in recent years. Recently signed to Ninja Tune as part of their 20th anniversary reinvisaging, his ‘Skanky Skanky’ album has had boom-boxes cranked up to the max and seen him travel the globe spreading his bassy love as far as the ears can hear and eyes can see. Add to this his much loved 'In New DJs We Trust' show for BBC Radio 1 and production for hip hop royalty Roots Manuva and UK dance hall queen Lady Chann and you've got yourself a tastemaker extraordinaire. A slew of high profile remixes and under the radar re-rubs for the likes of Roisin Murphy, Gorillaz, Horace Andy, Little Dragon, Jack Penate and Hot Chip and collaborations with Major Lazer have helped secure his status as a modern dance floor dominator that is set to bring the house down at Sub Club. Joining Toddla in the Sub's DJ booth is Hot City. Recent releases on Fabric, Moshi Moshi, Ramp Recordings and Highpoint Lowlife, as well as remixes of Crookers, The Qemists, Kelis and The Count & Sinden, have fired their name to prominence since the start of 2009. Bringing back that jacking, cut up rave style with a modern garage twist, Hot city are all set to have made 2010 their own by the time we need to buy a new calendar. Our very own Point To C will be in the house to set things off. is trademark slick mixing and impeccable selection will set the tone just right. It always does. Having been made resident at Mixed Bizness events alongside Boom Monk Ben, Point To C has seen his rep grow bigger in 2010, establishing himself as one of the most exciting young DJs to emerge in a city that is never short on wax spinning talent.	10.09.10 Slam @ Return To Mono Slam are busy as usual with an new EP on Adam Beyer's Drumcode label out very soon. A new EP on their Paragraph imprint and a new track on Soma's 300th single release. They are also working on a Paragraph mix compilation. Gig wise they are back at their Fabric residency, visiting the Ukraine, and over at Barcelona, Basics in Leeds, Panorama Bar in Berlin and Planet Love in N.I. Slam will be playing all night at RTM. A great sound system, a great atmosphere and 2 of the world's best house and techno DJs - all for less than a tenner! Not to be missed.	04.09.10 Soul Clap @ Subculture Before today there was yesterday and after tomorrow is the future. Elyte and Cnyce's paths were crossed for all time when a Sun Ra light beam sent from Saturn collided with the P-Funk Mothership and sent them tumbling to earth. Now, Soul Clap time travels on a musical spaceship of dopeness... By harnessing the past Soul Clap looks to the future, with forward thinking productions, remixes and edits, creative DJ sets and some of the USA's best dance music events. With the city of Boston firmly in their grasp they organize the highly praised Dancing On The Charles and, and every Wednesday they host Midweek Techno, the area's longest running techno night. Soul Clap's training goes beyond history lessons to mastering all the elements of the DJ and producer: knowledge, mixing, programming, performance and experience. They honed their knowledge by teaching a university course about dance music at Tufts University. Soul Clap themselves learned that "house wears many hats" and were instilled with the sounds of New York, Chicago, Detroit and Philadelphia while fostering an addiction to crate-digging, that has become a worldwide quest to acquire the best music. Soul Clap released their first 12" records on Airdrop Records and then spread their wings with a grip of edits, remixes and originals on Brooklyn’s Wolf + Lamb. With more material coming soon on Crosstown Rebels, Culprit, Glass Table, Suol, Magic Bag & Double Standard (Gadi Mizrahi’s new vinyl only label) and a busy touring schedule already in the books, the boys aren't slowing down in 2010. Always pushing new boundaries, always traveling through time and space, decades of experience has prepared Soul Clap to free your mind, and your ass will follow.
02.09.10 Hung Up! September September begins with two local lads who share our passion for a diverse mix of quality tunes. PVK (or Karim to his friends) has played Hung Up! a few times now and established himself as one of our regular guests. Alligned with the rub-a-dub crew he is well established throughout our fair city and needs little introduction to sub club regulars - in otherwords... he's never oot the place! He will be joined by Teamy. A former long-term Optimo employee and friend, (who still jumps in now and again to save the day) Teamy is behind the excellent Wrong Island night which has established a strong following for its mix of Italo, Disco, Hi-NRG and a bit of everything in between. Teamy has also been involved in loads of other ventures throughout Glasgow, including the excellent collaboration with Huntley & Palmers: After Dark. Teamy & Karim will be whipping out their best black crack until 3am. September listings in full... 5th - PVK & Teamy (Wrong Island) 12th - JD Twitch (Optimo) all night long 19th - JG Wilkes (Optimo) all night long 26th - JD Twitch & Walls (Kompakt) live SHAKE. IT.

06.08.10 Rizla Riverboat Shuffle Friday 6th August 8pm – 3am The Waverley: Passengers must be at the Glasgow Science Centre by 7.45pm 3 hour sail from 8pm – 11pm With Optimo & Melting Pot DJs Transport provided between venues. The After-Party: The Sub Club, 22 Jamaica Street, Glasgow 11pm – 3am With Retro/Grade (live) Plus Optimo & Melting Pot DJs Optimo, Melting Pot and Rizla are taking over The Waverley, the last sea-going paddle steamer in the world, for the inaugural Rizla Riverboat Shuffle. Following an amazing party last summer, which saw The Waverley sail into the night with an incredible soundtrack from Optimo and Melting Pot, the Riverboat Shuffle is back to set sail down the River Clyde on Friday 6th August. The Rizla Arena has already made one excursion North of the border this Summer, heading to RockNess, where curators Grandmaster Flash, Hot Chip and Toddla T played alongside Martyn, 6th Borough Project and Jackmaster, amongst others, and are now looking forward to bringing dance floor mayhem to Glasgow! The Waverley, is a true icon of Scottish paddle steamer, engineering that first came into service in 1947 to replace the original steamer that sunk off Dunkirk in 1940. The steamer is a living, breathing monument to Scotland's seafaring and shipbuilding past. After the steamer has docked we transfer to the Sub Club, to deliver the after-party. Serge Santiago and Tom Neville aka Retro/Grade will be playing live and giving us a sneak preview of their much anticipated debut album. Optimo and Melting Pot DJs will also be on hand to keep things rocking!
