Subdrive brings you our podcast showcasing mixes from artists we respect and love. Their mixes reflect whatever they’re feeling and are inspired by at the moment. We present them without track listing so you can focus on the mix; not the next song.

After a month break, we’re back with our first installment of May from our good friend MJ. His natural taste-making skills have landed him spots at some of New York’s biggest venues including Output, Space Ibiza NY, as well as Ultra Music Festival. His long-running #LTNS (Long Time No see) events have showcased talent from around the world including our own Subdrive artists.

His Subdrive podcast is house music with a constant groove, focused on organic melodic percussion instead of robotic, metallic synthesizers.

This month we’re excited to showcase Dischetto, our guest at this Saturday’s Subdrive party, resident of NYC’s Webster Hall Saturdays: GOTHAM, and @nesthq ’s resident head of techno. Her artist name, Dischetto, is a portmanteau of ‘dischetto’ and ‘tech’, resulting in the name: Dischetto-tech (pronounced: dis-ketto-tek), an homage to techno’s early roots in Detroit and Chicago ghetto-tech.

With strong roots in and inspiration from classic electronica a la Kraftwerk, Nitzer Ebb, Depeche Mode, and Dopplereffekt, she specializes in all things electro, techno, and EBM. Her skills as a selector and curator have seen her play gigs from LA, NYC, Holy Ship in Miami as well as playing alongside names such as Boys Noize, Zombie Nation, Mija, Tchami, Moon Boots, and Bixel Boys.

Her Subdrive podcast showcases her range in taste and style from straight banging techno, funky house, wobbly acid basslines, and more.

This month is a special heartfelt tribute mix to the late DJ and producer @BIGMAKK, whose catalog of releases spanned the gamut of genres from moombahton, bass, and more on some of the industry's biggest labels. His close friend Florida-based artist and member of Moombah Mafia, @ma_less, decided to create this #BigMakkForever tribute mix for her Subdrive podcast.

"I had the honor and the privilege of DJing alongside Big Makk for over 5 years at Shake 'n Bass. I got to watch him grow as an artist, as a person, and as my friend, honestly he was family to me. His music was always amazing to me, I remember the first song to really grasp my attention was his Head's High flip. I knew then this man was destined to be nothing but amazing.

I watched him evolve and really elevate himself to another level especially after attending F.I.R.S.T. Institute. I was really excited to see where he was going and was always so immensely proud, to say he inspired me would be an understatement, he changed my life not only through his music but with the magnitude of the kindness and love he possessed in his soul. Although he is no longer with us, I feel his presence in all that I do.

His music is the greatest gift he left behind and it has brought me so much peace and joy. This mix is compiled of some of my favorite songs from when I first met him to songs he left behind. This is by no means his entire catalog, I'd like to say it's the tip of the iceberg, but they are songs that have strong memories, songs that I love, and songs that I will be playing in my sets as long as the Universe has me here circling around the sun. I hope you all enjoy this mix as much as I did making it.

Big Makk Forever and ever ❤️️" - Ma-less

Ma-less’ mix, comprised only of BIG MAKK’s own originals, VIPs, remixes and edits, digs deep through years of Makk’s genre-bending tracks highlighting his touch on moombahton, trap, and bass for a definitive reflection of the man’s music and taste.

You should also know about the Big Makk Foundation, a non-profit organization that Big Makk’s mother, Momma Makk, created in commemoration of Big Makk. Their mission is to "Change Lives Through Music" which Sam (Big Makk) did every day. Their ongoing goal is to fund scholarships for young adults pursuing a career in the music industry.

We’re back after taking the first month of 2017 off with a fresh new podcast from Subdrive resident Jordi Iven. Since his first podcast for us 2 years ago, the man has kept himself busy playing shows across the city and being a repeat selector at Brooklyn’s Member’s Only as well as our own Subdrive at Soho House events. He’s also in the process of releasing his debut original productions later this year which blend his love of rhythmic samples, grooving bass, and beautiful synths.

For this month’s mix, Jordi’s brought us what he knows best: deep, beautiful, rich grooves inspired by the diverse sounds of the world.

It’s the middle of December and we’ve now clocked in 16 podcast episodes (including this one) in the past 12 months. To close out 2016, we’ve got a fantastic mix from one of the original Subdrive artists who we’ve known since the blog house/electro days, NYC dance floor veteran Krames.

Krames’ eclectic production expertise pulls from a variety of bass heavy genres and a solid decade of experience under his belt. Constantly evolving, he’s established himself as a talented force within the underground of NYC with recent releases on Todd Terry’s Terminator records and his own analog techno focused Afterwave Records, which he founded in 2016.

His skillful precision when producing and performing with hardware, drum machines and modular synths heavily influences this month’s mix. You’ll hear warm, chaotic analog techno stitched deeply throughout his podcast for us, a perfect way to end the year.

This month we’ve got a laidback set from friend and collaborator Vin Damato. A true New Yorker, Vin relocated last year to Los Angeles to focus on music. Since then he’s pulled from his musical roots and created his distinctive sound, a combination of throwback 90s R&B vibes, house music, and sexy soul whose songwriting spotlights experiences of heartbreak and growth.

His mix for November is a blend of tracks he loves as well as cuts from his debut EP ‘Head Above Water’. From baby making jams, bassier club tracks, to ethereal ballads, his podcast is perfect for those that want a little groove, funk, and sexiness.

November is here, come and gone is the insane US election season, and after a week off we’ve got a new episode for you all. The first podcast for this month comes from talented Spanish-born duo Apartment One, made up of Xander Oliver and DJ V. With releases on Guatemalan label Danzon Records, as well as a resume of top-notch venues under their performance belts, these Spaniards are looking to make 2017 the year folks take notice.

Their Subdrive podcast begins with beautiful jazz and latin influences, weaving in and out of deep and jackin house heavy with percussion. Throughout the hour you’ll hear releases from Danzon Records, Cacao Records, and three originals from the duo themselves.

October’s first podcast comes from @killkartel, a tech entrepreneur and former athlete who decided to focus on making music in 2011 after surviving an accident that almost took his life. Fast forward to 2016 and Kill Kartel runs a new label called Electronic Animals and has launched a regular mix series featuring musical works from a variety of artists staying away from the mild mainstream sounds.

Almost reflecting the season’s changes, Kill Kartel’s October podcast blends deeper and techier sides of house that slowly peak, wind, and twist over the course of his one hour mix.

For the end of September we have our own founder, @Galbis, contributing his first mix for the Subdrive podcast.

Since starting Subdrive in 2005 as a college radio show in Brooklyn, to launching the label and collective in 2009, (Ricardo) Galbis has tirelessly championed fresh electronic music and artists through our events, releases, and collaborations. The label has served as the home for the early careers of artists such as @mikemago @curlup @figure with support from acts such as Diplo, MSTRKRFT, Horse Meat Disco, among others.

His mix opens with the sounds of the caribbean rainforest, leading into a slowly building arrangement of tracks with a focus on melancholic sounds, beautiful vocals, deep basslines, and sharp synths.
