The Sub Club has played such an important role in the development of UK electronic music that it is surprising it took it so long to have a label arm. Still, Nautilus Rising is testament to being better late than never, and this inaugural release, an all-Scottish affair, covers the kind of soulful house and techno that the ‘Subbie’ has been long associated with. Alex Smoke’s “Straits” revolves around loose tribal drums and ponderous synths, before veering off into an acid-heavy segue. Lord of the Isle’s contribution follows a similar trajectory, albeit with a tapestry of brooding bass and synths underscoring the arrangement. Stephen Lopkin represents the new breed of Scottish producer and his “Farewell G41” is all crashing snares and 606 drums. Vince Watson, one of the artists who has been active since the club’s inception, rounds out this excellent release with “Subculture Story”, a spacey, string-laden affair, atmospheric and melodic, but underpinned by a strong kick.
