Dimension B Wipeout

You can take our recent facebook silence as an admission that Party in Dimension B wiped us out.

It was the most technically ambitious event Subcity's ever thrown. A big shout out has to go to the techs who worked silly hard for three days constructing the monster amounts of steel deck for the stage and entrance portal. Shout outs also to the PR team for running around town with bundles of posters and flyers on miserable days to get the tickets sold out, to the events team for managing the whole thing, and to the design crew who busted their asses to make a 22 page comic for the night. We can’t remember the last time a club night had its own comic. Props. Final shout out goes to the 900 people who came down dressed up to spend yet another night partying with us, we’re glad you enjoyed yourselves, hell Skream and Benga turned up just past midnight and they enjoyed themselves too.

Subcity is run completely by volunteers. No one in charge of organising, publicising, building, managing or playing at any of these ridiculous events does it for any kind of wage- we do it because we enjoy doing it, and enjoy knowing we can put a smile on the faces of a couple of hundred sweaty idiots nearly every month. Working for free is how nights involving such mega effort can have such low ticket prices. The ticket prices are set to make a little amount of money just so that our radio station can keep playing out nearly 24 hours a day- which it does thanks to the dedication and enthusiasm of over 80 shows involving over 250 volunteers, and thanks to the tech team and web geeks who work to keep the hand-coded website and studio equipment from breaking under the mammoth amount of usage they get. We’re glad so many of you enjoy coming to our parties and listening to some of the brilliant, original shows that go out on the station, day in, day out. We’re even gladder that we’ve got with us such a brilliant team of dedicated, creative and talented souls who bust their balls all-nighter after all-nighter to make Subcity as exciting as it is. So, to everyone, thank you. This is why we do this shit.

Now we’ve got you teary eyed, have a swatch of the photos from Dimension B: http://www.flickr.com/photos/subcityradio/sets/72157625321000174/

Finally, a wee heads-up: the next party might be on 2nd of December, but it’s not for sure just yet. It’s been a while since Subcity threw one of the tiny sweaty rammos we used to be famous for. Now the nights are getting colder, everyone could do with a bit of collective body-heat... stay tuned.
