Sub Lab opens up for business

Tell us about the thinking behind starting Sub Lab. Sub Lab strives to surfaced the hidden sounds of the underground bass music scene. We are about the deep, dark, meditative styles of dubstep/bass music. By connecting with artists (both musical and visual) on the same wavelength, we drive our passion to the hearts and minds of our audiences, worldwide. One of our main beliefs is that creativity should have no bounds, guidelines, or restrictions -- our minds are infinite. We have many visions and plans to channel our creativity and passion into all kinds of outlets, not limited to records or music. I'm inspired by things in all shapes and forms; art, design, fashion, positivity and much more. Having support from the ones who've inspired me the most pushes me harder to utilize my capabilities and make these visions a reality. What's the scene like for bass music where you're located? The bass music scene here is saturated. I hate to say, but not one event in Dallas truly represents dubstep culture. Promoters and venue owners do not realize the significance of our culture and art. Events are catered to the youth and their demand for mainstream and trending artists. More efforts and money are being invested into lighting rather than sound, limiting the listener to properly listening to our sounds. Every event I have been a part here has either had broken/damaged/misfunctioning turntables or none available at all. Not many at all are aware of dubplate culture and the significance of playing vinyl. The scene has not been properly educated and is receiving a false representation of dubstep. What do you have coming up? My dissatisfaction has lead me to develop our own event, Deep Tension. This will be a new monthly encompassing strictly deep, dark, meditative styles of bass music. We have plans to press vinyl and launch our own store which will sell music, art and merch. Live broadcasts (radio and video) are in the works and will be put into play very soon. There are a lot of plans in the works and we do not limit ourselves to anything. We want to work with like-minded people to spread good vibes and creations to as many people as possible.
