After 30 years, subculture at the Sub Club is the world’s longest-running weekly house and techno night
It’s the beating heart of the Scottish clubbing scene – and even thousands of miles away from Glasgow, James ‘Harri’ Hannigan and Domenic Cappello are reminded of the love for the Sub Club.
Part of the reason for that is the duo themselves, who this year celebrate three decades of their Saturday night Subculture slot. From there, the duo helped the club become a revered Glasgow institution, establishing itself as a Saturday night staple for scores of clubbers, and a pioneering venue for house music in the city.
“We’ll always play some classics, and things that have been popular over the past 30 years but generally it’s new music,” says Dom.The venue itself helps too, as does the community that have gathered there over the years."It’s dark enough that you can hide if you want to, there’s quiet bits where you can talk with your pals, there’s bits where you can get lost on the dancefloor. It’s the simplicity ... There’s people who’ve been coming here for 30 years and they still love it.
"Telford was the same, he was working behind the bar and one night gave me a mixtape. I was driving home and listened to it, and I phoned Paul at the time and went ‘this wee guy is brilliant!’"
