The Subs (жанры:electro, electronic, house, belgium, electro house)

Rambunctious. That's the least you can say about Belgian beatbastards The Subs. Having already released a couple of underground dance maxis - 'You Make Me Spill', 'Fuck That Shit', 'Substracktion' - over the past years, they hit it hard in 2008, with 'Kiss My Trance', a punktrance-juggernaut of a hitsingle.

The track started off as a joke, the band wanted to see how far they could push the limits of the trance-genre and get away with it. A true jack-in-the-box, 'Kiss My Trance' turned out te be a massive cross-over success: in genuine guerilla-style, 'Kiss My Trance' peaked both commercial charts AND dj-lists - it terrorized the radio AND put club dancefloors on fire.

End of 2009, Mitsubitchi time. The Subs made a track for the 10th anniversary of Fabric (The famous club in London). It got picked up very quickly by The Crookers, Mixhell, Boris Dlugosh and The Bloody Beetroots who later on did a remix for the track under the Bobermann guise.

Then the band started doing remixes for Alex Gopher, Cassius, Plump Dj's, Play Paul, Poney Poney Run Run, Telex…

So much for the joke then, The Subs are in business. For real.

The Subs are Jeroen De Pessemier aka Papillon (singer/producer), Wiebe Loccufier aka Tonic (half of dj-duo Starski & Tonic, heirs to the Culture Club-throne, as they took over the residency spot at the infamous Ghent club from 2 ManyDJs and The Glimmers) and Stefan Bracke aka l’entrepreneur

The past months, The Subs have enthralled audiences with a live show comprising of a unique set up: 2 deejays and a man behind the microphone/synth. No hiding behind laptops - The Subs take the sweaty punktrashfeel to the dance stage - they work those machines! With gigs at Bestival (UK), Global Gathering (UK), Dour Festival (B), Pukkelpop (B), I Love Techno (B), Lowlands (NL), Social Club (Paris), Razzmatazz (Barcelona), Fabric (LDN), Club Low (Madrid),… they have secured the band's live reputation

The Subs are not your average 'let's mess around with some analogue machines' band. They fought with the machines until a consistent album, a true body of work, came about. Bred on landmark nineties dance-albums from the likes of Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers and Underworld, Papillon is The Subs’ songwriter with an ear for a good hook and a catchy tune. Tonic is the dj/songwriter with a passion for brand new underground releases and innovative sounds, The Subs had made an album with songs lurking underneath the sounds. (There's even a mellotron on the album - we kid you not, the retrofuturistic instrument the Beatles used on 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds'!)

'SUBCULTURE’ is a dance album that you can listen to in your car. In your living room. In your bed room. Anywhere. The mood is intense and brooding. It's a down-right dirty stunner with both euphoric peaks and melancholy-melodic moments. That's how we like OUR PUNKS.
