Welcome to mothership 2010. We’ve made some big changes over here at the labels and we hope to provide you with some crazy new shit this year.
The 1st release of the new decade is by Rusty James. He is a new guy in the game. This track was given to me from our friend Gavin Herlihy. It is a cool combo of old school filter house with hip-hop sensibilities. It always works really really well when i play it. (so i play it often!)
Subb-an I met in Birmingham ages ago. He made a monster track a few years ago that i originally tried to sign but couldn’t and we have kept in touch ever since. This is a late night killer. It’s mainly just beats and bass but it really works with the peaks and valleys placed just right. Dangerous stuff..

Emerson Todd - stop lying is the one for me.. love the drops. .. cant wait to play it out James Talk - hot! yo amiogee is dope! love stop lying, i cant place the sample…argh. SV4 - Digging Stop Lying, want to hear it out for sure. Alex G - Yo Amigee is the one! Feeling that boom boom boomb! Maetrik - Stopy Lying is smoooth and sweet with nice nice bass. My fav of the two….thanks !! Nikola Baytala - massive tribal track for miami wmc 2010 shir khan - I absolutely love the Hip Hop Vine in STOP LYING. I remember that NINE also used the same sample and I have been a big fan of that sample when I was into Hip Hop. Y0 Amigee sounds big. Will test. Ewan Pearson - Like the Rusty James track a lot - the sample works very nicely. The other side a bit too straight up percussion workout for me. Thank you for the music! Itzone - Itzone (Dirtybird) - Rusty James tracks is for me, like the drive on this one Matt Tolfrey - Really liking both tracks here, Rusty James is defo one to watch out for, he is doing some work for us on our new digi label for Leftroom called Left’d. jeff samuel - stop lying is a great oldschool cut robert johnson - stop lyying reminds me of the good ol days. love the original sample !! yo amigee could have a lil bit smarter bassline. but hey ! it will do the big floor smash for shure ! thanks Sian - nice feverish house vibes.. Thomas Schumacher - Stop Lying. Please. lucas - Stop Lying! W.O.W! Back to the Bronx with that one. Kiki - 2 nice trax here! i see myself playing “stop lying” every chance i get, but “yo amigee” could also do well at places like panorama bar, when the daylight kicks in and you switch up a gear… Sacha Robotti // Robosonic DJ Team - Good morning ! “Stop Lying” has this melancholic mid/end 90s house track feel, i like it since i grew up with this kind of sound. Happy 2010 ! Ryan Crosson - stop lying seems like it could be a real winner. will try out thanks! MOWGLI - First of all I have to say the artworks are always amazing!!! Then that I really love Stop Lying, it’s the stuff I’m playn now..cheers Todd Bodine - WOW. What a great EP!!! I love both tracks. Amazing baselines. I cant wait to plai them. Ralf Kollmann - thanks and all the best for the new decade! Dj Heather - Very nice way to start the year. Voodeux - Stop Lying is some super nice house music. Justin Long - Great tune! Stopy Lying is the one for me! j.phlip - house music! makes me happy - they are both lovely - sound like fun tunes to layer Ed Karney - Mothership’s strongest release for a while. Big support on both tracks easpecially Yo Amigee. I will be reviewing this for Mixmag.
Hailing from Birmingham, in the heart of the UK, Subb-an has been making a hell of a name for himself over the last two years. It was just over two years ago that Below in Birmingham (voted the UK’s most important underground party in 2008) unearthed Subb-an and immediately offered him a residency on the spot at the tender age of 21. Since then Subb-an has been most notably known for his killer ‘Live Sets’, where he effortlessly combines his ever-evolving discography with his in-demand edits, consistently rocking dance floors across the UK (Basics, Below, BackToFront) and Europe (Sonar, The Weekend Club, Zoo Project) with his distinctive sound.
Subb-an is part of a new breed of young DJ/Producer from the UK who are starting to make a name for them selves globally. Having been the lynchpin artist for Immigrant records for the past two years and holding down one of the best residencies in the UK at Below, Subb-an is now receiving recognition and support from some of the biggest hitters in the game. Production wise, 2009 was something of a break through year for Subb-an, composing and remixing tracks for some of the best house labels in the world such as Bpitch Control, Hypercolour and Mothership, whilst launching his own ONE Records imprint in November with Below founder Adam Shelton.
During the summer, Subb-an set up new event, BASIC, with Tom Craven (BackToFront / The Rebel Agency) and Ryan Hope (Pete’s 50th); an event with no set venue, city or country, just an excuse to gather friends from around the world in amazing locations. With their first two events in London (Warehouse) and Berlin (Weekend Club) creating an amazing buzz and a secret roof terrace party planned in Barcelona during Sonar coming up, BASIC is definitely an event to keep your eye on.
2010 is set to be an exciting year for Subb-an, already being featured in Mixmag’s ‘One’s To Watch’ feature for their first issue of the decade. With new releases coming out on 20/20, Hot Natured, ONE Records and Foot and Mouth (an new Edits label set up by Dyed Soundorom and Matt Tolfrey), his diary is filling up fast with a tour of Australia in March and dates already secured at Sonar and across Europe.
