The long awaited remixes of Terror Dactel's massive anthem DEF have arrived with remixes from Mr. Vega + Kid Cedek, Trick Folexxx, and Curl Up. Pick it up on JUNO and iTunes today!
Our newest signing, curl up , just dropped his debut EP with us on Friday. "Biomechanical" crosses all genres, mixing sounds from rave, hardcore, moombahton, cumbia, dubstep, and fidget. It's a crazy EP and definitely a reason to keep an eye and ear out for curl up. To add fuel to the fire, Diplo just recently dropped curl up's first single with us "Driplo" on his "BLOW YOUR HEAD" SiriusXM show. Click here to hear the mix. You can download the "Biomechanical" EP for [...]
We're psyched to announce that the mysterious (depending on where you look) futurist magnate Vanguard Bots has released his debut single, "Codex Loss", with Subdrive this weekend. It's a cut from his forthcoming AudioLucinogens EP coming out later this summer. The tune is a contrast to our past stuff, but a nod to our commitment of the cutting edge of darker electronic music. "Codex Loss" is a post-apocalyptic anthem with grinding bass, compressed and distorted drums, and an attitude that heralds the arrival of the Singularity . His debut EP [...]
After a long partnership in documenting our events, our dear friend THE CULTURE OF ME is taking the next step and taking on the reigns as a producer and DJ. With gigs at Webster Hall, Happy Ending, and almost every single event in all of New York City including SXSW, THE CULTURE OF ME is on the verge of becoming the next Oakenfold. We sat down and spoke with CULTURE and spoke about his direction. "My sound is pretty much a combination of snark and bass....yeaa..." he said from his [...]
We're really excited to announce that our newest single is officially out now! SUB008 - NIGHTSTALKER - comes from Sean Krames , better known to the world as the booty-bass, club shaking, COBRA KRAMES. His Subdrive debut, as well as his official debut as Sean Krames, could not be more of a paradigm shift for his sound. Culling from techno, rave, house, and the darkest corners of underground clubs worldwide, Sean Krames' debut "NIGHTSTALKER" (w/ Firewalker) sports techno of a darker form. With twisted rave organs, hand-percussion, and builds that tease the crowd, only to drop them [...]
Cover photography Victor Castro Two weeks ago we filmed our very first music video for our first signing, Terror Dactel . It's for his new single, DEF / Tactical Nuke, dropping next week on November 16th. The tune has been in the works since this year's WMC, and has already been rocked at festivals and clubs around the world by big names such Mustard Pimp, Chewy Chocolate Cookies, Udachi, Digital Boy + Shark, Figure, among many. We're really excited about this release and come the 16th, We'll have the [...]
The Swedish House Mafia have just released their official music video for their big tune "One (Your Name)" that features Pharrell Williams. That's all great and all, the tune is massive, but more interestingly though is that the video is essentially a 4 minute commercial for the upcoming, unreleased Teenage Engineering OP-1, a synthesizer/MIDI-controller that touts wireless syncing, a 'tape' feature, and more. Check out this awesome synth and the music video after the jump. It's no surprise to see the OP-1 [...]
With Spain firmly holding their first World Cup title, everything in South Africa is winding down from the insanity that is one of the world's most-beloved sporting events. But over here in Northern Hemisphere, summer is just getting started, and in the one month of the tournament (and the months preceeding it), there was a lot of fantastic World Cup inspired music released. Here's a small list of our favorites that we're sure you'll hear at clubs or parties. The New York Dutch Masters - Voodoozela [...]
While we were down at this year's Winter Music Conference in Miami, Dutch label-mate and awesome pool jumper Mike Mago told us about this fantastic group from his homeland of Holland called Nobody Beats the Drum . He showed us the music videos, where they fight with home-made transformer outfits, the insane stop-motion animated video with the blocks, etc. We were pretty impressed. Fast forward to June and it's announced they're performing at New York's own Brooklyn Bowl, an awesome venue where you can go bowling while DJs and bands [...]
Esteemed dj and disco selector extraordinaire Free Magic just wrapped up a mix for on-point tastemakers Voules Random . The mix is a sampling of the music you'll hear at Free Magic and co-resident VDRK 's party DISCOVERY , every month at Santos Party House here in NYC. This is happy, chill, sexy disco. The kind of mix you put on at a pool party, for dancing, lounging, or for cocktail entertaining with fondue (because we all do this). Oh and don't forget to attend this weekend's Discovery [...]
With New York City breaking temperature records yesterday, peaking at 103 degrees Fahrenheit (thats 39 degrees Celsius for all you non-Americans), summer is truly, officially, here. Perfect time for outdoor events, cool sea breezes, and fun new music from overseas! I'd like to introduce you to TUFFEM UP! RECORDS , a label from Australia affiliated with Trashbags , promoters of all things epic and bangin' down under. They're preparing to release their collaboration with Marc Homes, aka, DEFEAT , in the form of the label's newest release BNDTS (out August 2nd, 2010). The [...]
Our boys Will Eastman , the man behind Blisspop , and Jesse, aka Tittsworth , alongside members of Thievery Corporation and other DC djs and nightlife luminaries, have just opened what I consider to be DC's best and most promising dance venue in Washington DC's history. It's name is U Street Music Hall . Epic I know, but read on. DC has always had a problem with it's nightclubs. The venues have always been multi-roomed fiascos, snooty door people, absolutely ABSURD dress codes (dress shoes...seriously??), putting a barrier between the DJ and [...]
Really excited this year because it marks the first time we're doing parties at Winter Music Conference in Miami. We're actually doing two showcases this year...our first event is the night before the official start of WMC at the legendary WHITE ROOM with the majority of the Subdrive crew in attendance including Terror Dactel, Cobra Krames, Mike Mago (first US gig!), Charlie Tippie, Solomon Grande, as well as our friends Nouveau Riche, DJs Are Not Rockstars, and more. It's a crazy lineup as you can see above and we'll have giveaways all night thanks to Kill [...]
Fresh tunes from brand-spanking new label Grand Hotel Records . They shared this great remix of Dirty Super Car's "Get a Grip" with us and we just had to pass it along. The Loops of Fury have made this into a groaning creature, ever-building, with a bassline that adds a great rhythm and proper weight to the tune. The samples found in the tune are from Chaka Khan's "Hold Her Now", which gives the remix a nice flair in parts. This tune isn't a straight up monster, it has some diva in it. [...]
Australian record label Sweat It Out releases some dope tunes, but this one...this is probably my favorite tune they've ever put out. Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP have created a fantastic house/techno funk hybrid track with an old-school sample that just begs you to bop your head in happiness. Seriously, it's such a funky tune that you can't help but having fun when you hear it or play it out. If you're a fan of Riva Starr's "I Was Drunk", you will without a doubt love this tune. [...]

OCD Automatic & VDRK - photo by The Culture of Me Months in the making, this fantastic tune was crafted by two amazingly talented friends of ours, VDRK and OCD Automatic . Their partnership in the realm of music began when a disco mothership dropped them above Wisconsin. Fast forward to 2010 and here they are with their massive debut, the disco house anthem "Tell My Love." Originally to be a Subdrive retail release (and track 14 on our Summer from Below mix ), we loved the [...]
New York-based rockers The Phenomenal Handclap Band just released this new video to their tune "Baby", if you haven't picked up their album yet...do so now . Been loving these guys for a while now and I always seem to miss them whenever they perform, but you should not make the same effect.
Pick this up on February 23rd with remixes from Dan Deacon and more. Groove Armada 's new album, "Black Light" drops March 2nd on OM Records .
