The Subs: Subculture


The Subs a Belgian “punktrance” trio. Their debut album Subculture is a relentless, ecstatic three-quarter hour electro-house party. With titles suggesting their music will be in a typically Belgian vein (‘Music Is The New Religion’, ‘Fuck That Shit’, ‘Kiss My Trance’), Subculture actually ends up surprising despite its cheesey moments and puts The Subs among the quality electro music that has been dominating both dance and indie scenes in the past couple of years.
Tracklisting:
  1. Music is the new religion
  2. Kiss my trance
  3. Papillon
  4. My punk
  5. Albatross
  6. In cold blood
  7. Breathe
  8. Fuck that shit
  9. From dusk till down

It is little surprise to hear that The Subs have featured in DJ sets by Boys Noize, Fake Blood and Simian Mobile Disco, with their music containing the same crunchy drum beats and retro synths featured by these and other groups like Justice. And it must be said, if you dislike this genre, you’re unlikely to appreciate The Subs either. This is a true 90s revival (think Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers, Underworld) and they are not afraid to show it, with Subculture even featuring a potentially risky cover of The Prodigy’s Breathe.
