It never fails, if you want a general rule of thumb for a night which is going leave you 4 pounds lighter from sweat and suffering a permanent screw face then it's a Subcity party. Having a rosta which includes some of Glasgow's most talented DJ's and visualists is a recipe for unwavering quality and last Friday night Subcity once again produced a classic.
Transforming Stereo's basement into an arena of noise, DJ's had only half an hour to prove their worth as a big projected clock counted down their set in front of a baying crowd. When we arrived at 11.15pm, the cue was already stretching far up the stairs and the night would later go on to sell out completely - such is the popularity of Subcity's notorious events.
Musically the night took in everything from pounding Electro, driving Techno, jumped-up Garage, devastating Dubstep & classic Hip Hop, culminating in a clash of the titans with Mixed Bizness head honcho, Boom Monk Ben and Subcity legend, Shaun Fae Solar. We were even treated to a guest apperance by Cloudo (of Cloudo & Gobo fame) who'd apparantly jumped a taxi straight from the estate. By 3am, the floor was rammed and people jostled for space infront of the decks, the atmosphere fully energised by the sound of Cloudo's back catalogue of Hardcore anthems. Not one person left dissapointed that night and needless to say the party continued well into Saturday morning...
Subcity, you da best!
