The last spotlight before we start our second edition of RELEASE.

City drive ( 3 am late night cruising mix ) by SubReachers

SubReachers might be, for many, the most unknown name on our bill but we feel confident that this won’t be for long. Since we’ve discovered them on Soundcloud we’ve had the privilege to get sent, at a steady rate, a series of well-produced, well-composed tunes. Usually situated somewhere between the deeper end of House and Techno and Dubstep with sometimes trips to more ambient territories. Always quality.

It can’t be long now before they’ll be releasing some of these somewhere. It’s simply too good to be enjoyed only by a small circle of insiders. Go check their Soundcloud account to hear some of those tracks. Saturday they’ll be doing their first live gig and we’re very curious about it. We’re sure they’ll be banging though.

We’ve coupled them to Narkoba for the visuals. He started his music career way back in 1996 as the bass player for one of Belgian’s underground punk rock bands called a200club. Using ICQ he got in touch with a guy in Huddersfield UK who wanted them to come to England to go on tour. Being back in Belgium and still full of excitement they recorded their first album and released it on Funtime records. In the meantime he was studying sound engineering in Brussels and assisted in recording Dutch hardcore bands in Midas Recording Studio.

In 2001 he and his buddy KinkyB went to Thailand and got hooked on travelling in Asia. Being enlightened they decided to form an indie band. Phoebus was born. What started as a bedroom project using a lot of appleseed cast delay on the guitars – turned out to be quite a rock act.

In 2005 Narkoba had enough of this emo stuff and travelled in South East Asia. Of course he did not forget his video camera and shot some ‘nice and far away’ footage. Being away from any computer all this time inspired him to work on a web project. A music sandpit where he can post his audio, video & web content.

In 2008 Narkoba was travelling in India where he met Mathew Masbro, a talented Indian singer songwriter. They decided to make some music and videos together. The first video is now being shown on various Indian tv channels.

During the Release event Narkoba will be supporting The Subreachers as a vj act. His travel footage has been put into the effects blender and will be mixed live on stage. Narkoba will be supported by graphic artist Lex. Lex likes doing stencil art and posting fhoompy comics on his site.
