This Wednesday the Sub Rosa team have called on their Sub Club stable mate’s Vicious Creatures to provide the magic for their infamous midweek party.
Ahead of their Sub Rosa debut we managed to creep in to the Vicious Creature’s cage for a quick chat on all things Sub Club. Thankfully none of the 3 resident DJs bite. (Hard…)
For you guys what makes the Sub Club so special?
Forbes: “The people inside the club make it special, everyone from DJs, bar staff, promoters to the clubbers themselves.”
Lárus: “In my opinion it’s the best club in the world. I’ve never been anywhere that gives me the feeling I get when I walk down those steps and through that door. The atmosphere in the room, the rumble from the dance floor, the sound from the speakers and the intimacy of being able to stand a few feet from your favourite DJ makes it the real deal. I’ve had goose bumps many a time!
Despite all that what makes the Subbie really special is the crowd. I’ve made many a good friend on that dance floor and I’m sure I’ll make many more in the future. The Subbie is a special place.”
Ton-Ton: “A ‘perfect storm’ for a great night out is created at the Sub Club: low ceilings, body-shaking sound system and a DJ booth that thrives on the energy of the crowd. It’s that final part (the crowd) that for me truly makes the Sub the most special club in the world. I always know that when I go to the Sub Club I’m going to leave with a smile on my face having had a great night”
2. Best ever night you’ve had in the club?
Forbes:
“Picking just one is very difficult, from recent memory the Subculture 20 Years residents party was unreal, up there with the best nights I’ve ever had!
Mr Ties, Lil Louis and Laurent Garnier all stick out for me from the past year too.”
Lárus:
“I’ve been to so many brilliant nights that it really would be difficult to pick just one. Obviously the more recent nights spring to mind so I’ll plump for Tale Of Us’ recent appearance at Sensu or Daphni at Optimo. Tale of Us are up there with my favourite DJs in the world at the moment and their set that night was an absolute masterpiece. They built the set perfectly and the last hour was one of the best things I’ve ever heard in the Subbie. Daphni’s set just put a smile on my face for the whole night, seamlessly mixing through different styles and genres but keeping an energy in the room which kept everyone dancing. Although I must say there’s been many a time I’ve walked away from a resident’s night at Subculture claiming that I’d had one of the best nights of my life.”
Ton-Ton:
“There are far too many good nights that I can remember (and even more I cant) but one that stands out for me is Loco Dice’s last visit to the basement. He had the Sensu dance floor in the palm of his hand and had the place rocking from the word go! I also set a personal best that night of no toilet breaks and certainly no fag/fresh air breaks! My fist was also introduced to the sub ceiling on more than one occasion.”
3. What DJ would you love to play next to at a future VC night?
Forbes:
“I’d love to have Domenic play purely for the fact I think he’s the best DJ in the world!”
Lárus: “Mano Le Tough”
Ton-Ton: “Jay Daniel”
4. What tune is really floating your boat now?
Forbes:
Spencer Parker – Faster Forward :
Lurus:
Dan Croll – From Nowhere [Âme Remix]
Ton-Ton:
The IT – Donnie (Ron Hardy Remix)
5. Who is going to win the World Cup?
Forbes:
“Hopefully Argentina so I can buy new records with my winnings!”
Lárus:
“Argentina”
Ton-Ton:
“Don’t care…England’s out!”
