sub-alchemy by Various Artists

CCL’s subglow returns with the first compilation on the imprint, ‘sub-alchemy’.

‘sub-alchemy’ is a collection of low-end sorcery from subglow's favourites, informed by the tension between pressure and weightlessness —supernatural, emotive and mysterious—sonic witchcraft for the depths of the dancefloor and beyond.

All bringing elements of mysticism to the compilation, ‘sub-alchemy’ is a collection of music from the otherworld; from god69, upsammy and Perila’s stunning ambient-leaning contributions to the mysterious sensuality of Luxe, the contrasting subterranean attitude of Softi, wonked-out dub mutations from rRoxymore, Sobolik and Sister Zo to the mutant dubstep of x3butterly’s production debut, and Mia Koden & Cousin’s dreamy dubbed-out steppers. As the release unfolds, you are invited into the old-school sensibilities of Beatrice M., Yushh’s emotive side, and the ethereal energy of Xades. All of these artists capture the ever-evolving and expansive orbit of subglow, just in time for the Samhain season.

Launched earlier this year with an EP from georg-i, subglow was initially conceived as an event series in Berlin with the ethos of “music that makes subs glow”— its musical direction centres on low-end psychedelia and draws upon an expansive interpretation of soundsystem music.
