RISE

On the 7th episode of Rise Residents Mix Series we have James Martin () James has always had a tendency to listen to more melodic and intricate dance music along the lines of bonobo, four tet etc. And it’s been through exploring this side of electronic music that He’s really enjoyed DJing and producing. The sound that He is trying to carve out for himself takes a lot of inspiration from these guys.
These influences are the basis for this house/breakbeat house mix.

On the 6th episode of the Rise Residents Mix Series we have Mitchell has always had a love for house and disco music and since learning to DJ in the summer of 2019 he’s been able to use this admiration for the genres to help give me the chance to play in venues such as Ibiza Rocks Cafe and The Highlander in Ibiza while also securing a monthly residency in Nico’s bar in Glasgow, as part of Greenhouse Disco, helping to host some of their most successful nights. Listen to his funky house and disco mix to get you grooving.

This week on the Rise mix series we have one of residents stepping up to the plate. Yeti Mind Tricks, head boss man at Bassmant which has been running for 6 years now. Playing host in some of the best venues in Glasgow and bringing in world famous DJs to headline the nights. Away from this, he has several releases on the way on the following record labels, Simina Grigoriu's Kuukou records, Ruiz Sierra's Egothermia Records and a return to PL7 records. Strap in for a power hour of techno

This week on Rise Presents we have Jordan Mac, who has been crafting his style for quite some time now, favouring feel good tunes that instil that sense of joy and makes you wanna move on the dancefloor. Hailing from Drumnadrochit north in the Scottish Highlands, Jordan moved down to Edinburgh for university and soon fell madly in love with the music scene and DJing. Since then Jordan has helped to create and co-run Wavelength; the Edinburgh based club night and collective.

Next up on the Rise Presents series is Ryan Wason, who has been running parties for a while and cut his teeth firstly down in Ayrshire with his night FA Presents hosting the likes of Optimo, Mella Dee, Jasper James, Denis Sulta, Big Miz plus many more. In the last few years he has established his night Feed Your Head in Glasgow and Paisley at the likes of Club 69, The Admiral, The Berkeley Suite and Room 2 bringing an array of artists including Levon Vincent, Sunil Sharpe, Paul Woolford, Spencer Parker, Mezigue and more. Ryan had huge plans lined up in the last year but unfortunately, like everyone else, had to put things on hold.

Ryan is known for his eclectic style and versatile range of genres, whether that be warming up or playing peak time. With a wide range of all-encompassing electronic music he likes to traverse the sounds of breaks, bleeps and distorted broken rhythms, whilst weaving in bassier leftfield house and experimental grooves and any other otherworldly sounds. Enjoy!

The Sub Club is at risk of permanent closure. Help and keep music & dancing alive - !

Donate & Purchase rewards over on our Crowdfunder page here >>> crowdfunder.co.uk/saveoursub

Today, we are saying something we never thought we would have to say again - the Sub Club is in danger of sinking!

We have faced many different trials and tribulations over the last 33 years, ranging from the infamous licensing curfew of the early 90’s, to the club’s closure from 1999-2002 following a massive building fire, to more recently lengthy legal battles over noise issues & planning permission for a hotel development next door, all of which has meant that the Sub Club has been very much a labour of love for more than 3 decades.

However, none of these situations hold a candle to the existential threat that the COVID-19 pandemic currently poses to the Sub Club, and indeed to Club Culture as a whole around the globe. As lockdown is lifted it is abundantly clear that underground basement clubs will be amongst the very last things to reopen. We were the first spaces closed and we will be the last to open.

The level of UK Government support has fallen woefully short of what is required to protect the future of the Sub Club. We are very aware that many people are experiencing real financial difficulty, and for some the threat to their health and wellbeing is profound. We have had to think long and hard before reaching out to ask for your help.

Nevertheless, if we want to Save Our Sub we find ourselves in a situation where we have to ask for your support.



WHAT WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT FOR >>>

● To cover our weekly running costs.
● To set up a Staff Hardship fund
● To recover the £31,864 Furlough denied by HMRC.
● To invest in infrastructure for re-opening post COVID-19.
● To help launch “Dazzle Fund” - a new Sub Club charitable initiative

WHAT DO YOU GET IN RETURN >>>

We are offering a series of ‘REWARDS’ for donations received which can all be found on the Crowdfunder page here >>> crowdfunder.co.uk/saveoursub/rewards

THE SITUATION >>>

In line with UK Government guidance, we closed the Sub Club doors in March. At the time, we had no way of knowing what the months ahead would look like but we anticipated we might be closed for 8-10 weeks.

A whole host of measures were announced to help the UK survive including VAT & Business Rates relief, CBIL and Bounce Back Loans and most critically of all, the Job Retention Scheme or “FURLOUGH”. Along with most businesses we breathed a sigh of relief as on the surface these measures seemed like they would at least help us weather the storm and offer a fighting chance that the Sub Club would still be afloat when we reached the other side of this crisis. Crucially, we thought that at least we could make sure that all of our 30+ staff members were looked after and provided for during such a difficult time.

We applied for the Employee Furlough scheme following all guidance and continued to pay all 31 staff members 80% of their wages in order to minimise any disruption to individual financial circumstances, on the obvious presumption that the full amount would be reimbursed at the end of April once the scheme got up and running.

Despite months of trying to address mistakes and errors on HMRC’s own system before the crisis began, we were eventually told we didn’t meet the eligibility criteria for the Job Retention Scheme, resulting in the refusal of our rebate claim of £31,864 which we had already paid to staff. Even worse, the furlough status of all 31 staff moving forward has been invalidated meaning we have had to place ALL our staff on unpaid leave. Despite multiple appeals and representations to the Government by our MP - Alison Thewliss we still find ourselves in this perilous situation!

Not only are all our fantastic staff left without income or the prospect of working in the near future, but all the DJs who play at the club, all the promoters who put such effort into putting on amazing nights and events, all the tech staff and others who earn their corn as freelancers and depend on us for their livelihoods, are left high and dry. Many of these people have been with the club for many years and in some cases several decades!

The cumulative effect of all this is that we now find ourselves in a situation where through absolutely no fault of our own the Sub Club could permanently close without significant intervention! We face an immediate, and very real existential threat.

In order for the Sub Club to survive week-to-week, we need to be open at full capacity every weekend. It’s very clear since we are still only in phase 2 of the Scottish Government's lockdown easing roadmap, that this will not be remotely possible for many months to come. As many venues and spaces explore operating under physical distancing guidelines, we know this is completely impossible for us. The nature of the basement space prevents physical distancing above 20% of our capacity, and even then the associated costs would be impossible.

More crucially still, the very essence of our club culture is the unspoken connection which you find on the dance floor and so we are not prepared to attempt to reopen under any restrictive physical distancing directives. We will not sacrifice those ideals which have been the core ethos of the Sub Club from the very start 33 years ago, and we believe we would be doing the community a disservice by trying to do so especially for very dubious commercial reasons. We will not dilute the Subbie experience!

With all this in mind we have decided it is time to take the future of the Subbie into our own hands and ask for your support to help us weather this storm. So that we can dance as one down in that sweaty basement once more, bang that ceiling again and get lost in music together as we have done for the last 33 years.

TRANSPARENCY >>>

The points mentioned above are just some of the things that we know are an issue for us at the current moment. As the months pass and the situation evolves, inevitably circumstances will change and we may need to focus our resources into different areas.

In order to maintain transparency about where funds generated by this campaign are being utilised, we will update the Crowdfunder page and the Sub Club website with periodic transparency & openness statements designed to provide as full a picture as possible of how things are progressing behind the scenes.

Dazzle Fund is designed to support worthwhile causes and marginalised communities through donations and projects within the Sub Hub framework. 5% of all funds raised by this campaign will be donated to the fund once we hit our target.
