Rubix Glasgow presents Boddika & Six Axle

After a couple of chilled summer affairs with the magnificent Andrew Ashong and the homegrown talents of Sultan and Bop Gun, Rubix are flipping the script and diving back into the depths of the darker Glaswegian months with a corker of a DJ who bumps a little harder and faster. This one’s gonna melt a few faces.

How do you introduce this guy? We can think of few artists who are as continually ahead of the game as Al Green, AKA Boddika. He initially blasted onto our radar as one half of Instra:Mental, a game changing, genre-skipping duo who helped inject the stale world of D&B with a dose of raw energy and a new lease of life. But in the past few years we’ve seen a whole lot more coming from this one-man hive of activity – he’s created a distinct, hefty sound that fuses a house sensibility with the badassery of D&B, blistering electro drum patterns and a heads-down techno pulse.

Alongside his rapid and consistently excellent production schedule, he’s also the brains (and brawn) behind Nonplus records, an eclectic label that has released material from voices as diverse and important as Four Tet, Skream, Kassem Mosse, Pearson Sound, Actress, Jimmy Edgar and Scuba’s SCB moniker. Not a bad roster. Boddika is truly a pioneer in his field, and we couldn’t be more excited about presenting his Sub Club debut.

In support we’ve got the Six Axle boys, who’ve gone down a treat the last couple of times they’ve stepped behind the decks in the Subby, whipping the crowd into a hot, sexy froth at our steamy V-Day collab with Philanthrobeats and Sub Rosa’s now infamous Studio 54-themed throwdown. They’ve cut their teeth as selectors running the Six Axle blog, a respected independent voice in the dance music community that digs deep and wide for juicy, high-pedigree electronic (and non-electronic) music. Raw house and techno is the name of the game, and these boys know their shit.
