Dubclub St. Gallen - Established in 1997
When DJ Whitemoon first invited St. Gallen's night-time people to Dubclub in november of 97, the concept was heavily based on the original Dubclub held at Vienna's Flex Club. There, the night attracted a large, dance-crazed crowd with a special blend of dubby, reggae-style beats. A mixture of DJ-sets and live performances caused different cultures to mingle, a rare phenomenon in the club-trade.
It's fair to say that then Dubclub St. Gallen was a franchising enterprise, but before long, the monthly night edged into a more experimental direction. Musical boundaries were cracked and the term "Dubclub" itself evolved into a catch-all phrase for subcultural "entente cordial". An always diverse DJ-line-up provided a steady supply of of fresh tunes for the growing crowd and live acts, ranging from weird to startling to stunning, had minds boggle and sweat flow.
Dubclub presens both, DJs und Live-Acts with international reputation (D Kay, Stereotyp meets Al-Haca, DJ Hyper, DJ Rocca, Mouse On Mars, FC Kahuna, Depth Charge, The Bug, Rockers Hi-Fi, Diego, Seelenluft oder Bauchklang) as well as local heroes (Culture Connection, Elektrode, Naxell, Futuresub, Bubble Beatz, The Hollowman, Direktantrieb, Göldin & Bit Tuner, Voice Crack, Klangforscher and DJ Vodka...)
A major contribution to the night's identity is the visual branding of the Kabeljau design collective with their flyers and posters as optical hours d'oeuvre. Also, VJs had their fixed spot for their visual blasts at Dubclub, long before amateurs had funny stars hop about a screen everywhere else.
This unique formula of pictures, sound and sweat is a monthly breath of urban air admidst the peaceful town of St. Gallen. It's like opening a window to let in the noise of global metropolis.
Dubclub has been up, down and about but always running for almost ten years now. After countless events, guests, experiments and excursions to other cities, other spaces, neither the founder of the night, DJ Whitemoon, or the Dubclub crowd seem to be getting tired anytime soon. There's always stuff left to try out, there are always a few enthusiastic freaks that haven't stopped at Dubclub yet to show the world their world.
