HOUSL 'Tl ()HNO SUB CLUB FRIDAYS Sub Club, Glasgow, weekly Fri
Wilkes and Twitch: chief pimps at the Black Rabbit Whorehouse
Sometimes you look too far afield for the best. Sometimes the best is right on your doorstep. Glaswegians are notoriously hard when it comes to partying, and often the strongest rapport is between a home crowd and home grown DJ talent. You need only look to Jamaica Street and the Sub Club for proof that nobody knows good music better than Glasgow people, and that eschewing the big names is still route one to great nights that endure when the cottage industries have come and gone.
Fridays at the Sub Club are representative of the fierce talent that Glasgow has, and of its discernment when pooling the best from around the globe. The monthly roster reads like a who’s who of great local talent: Heads Up, with Fenetik boss Paul Cawley; Medicine Wheel from the brilliant Rub 3 Dub crew; Kinky Afro from local faves Matthew, Robin and Ayawara; the Black Rabbit Whorehouse from two guys named Twitch and Wilkes; and Bughouse with Dan and Chris, still one of the best nights around.
This fortnight, Medicine Wheel and Kinky Afro pull off the double delight of landing (respectively) Mr De and Electrofunkyshit from Detroit, and legendary Balkan house collective Urban Beat for two mouth-watering sessions. Mike Donald from the club enthuses about the prospect of Mr De playing there: ‘This is the real sound of the Detroit underground right now — not just techno but a kind of hard, funky sound that some people are calling ghetto-tech. It’s a real coup for us to have him play here.’ Matt from Kinky Afro is similarly excited about having Bosnian house collective Urban Beat play at the Sub: ‘Their music just oozes the Subbie vibe. We’re always looking to break the mould as far as producing club nights is concerned - a Bosnian three deck house mix is definitely rare. Even more so when crossed with Ayawara’s filthy African breaks.’ (Johnny Regan)
