Although widely regarded as a city built on house and techno, Glasgow is also home to a budding new wave of producers and music creatives looking beyond traditional staples for inspiration. In a nod to their work, we created a new film (in collaboration with The British Council) exploring their impact on Glasgow, shining a light on some of the city’s influential new blood.

Featured in the film are Heka Trax boss Nightwave, Astral Black label head Jon Phonics and label crew Bushido, Rapture 4D and DJ Milktray, emerging grime producer Polonis, OH141 promoter and DJ Sarra Wild, Big Miz, Femme Fresh and more, all of whom paint a vibrant, alternate picture of underground music culture in Glasgow.

As well as honing in on the club, the film also addresses issues of gender balance in the city and documents the success of a weekly DJ workshop held at iconic Glasgow venue, The Art School.
