Student Radio Awards Nomination

Subcity Radio is proud to announce that Armed Response DNB has been nominated in the Best Specialist Programming category at the 2008 Student Radio Awards. The announcement that they made it to the final five was made last week at the Scottish regional nominations party, held by Stirling University's radio station Air3.

DJs Yellowbenzene and D_Fade, respectively Neil Macaskill, a final year medic, and Rob Ralston, a recent Glasgow graduate, said of their nomination, "We're totally hyped to be representing Subcity Radio and Glasgow University at the event, and proud to be flying the flag for drum n' bass!"

Now in their fourth year at the station, Armed Response DNB are dedicated to boundary-pushing beats and basslines, featuring live mixes along with special guests and MCs from the thriving Scottish drum and bass scene. The duo can be found driving the dancefloor live at Subcity's own club nights or at local DnB night Symbiosis at the legendary Soundhaus.

Subcity has previously fared well in the Student Radio Awards, with Glasgow graduates Chris Storey and Kev Tracey winning gold in the Specialist Music Programming category for their show Grind your Mind, and the station picking up silver in the Off-Air Promotions & Imaging category in 2005.

This year's winners will be announced at the Student Radio Awards Ceremony on the 6th November, held at the IndigO2 venue in London. Good luck to the lads.

You can catch Yellowbenzene live on 31st October at Subcity's Haunted Disco.
