Always at the forefront of electronic music, Sub Club has played host to some of the world’s biggest players, and having recently celebrated 25 years on the scene will be flexing their floor filler muscle with founding fathers, Harri & Domenic.

Since the early days of Notting Hill Carnival, sound system culture has played a loud and proud part of Britains music scene, from the early days of lovers rock to today’s chart-breaking dubstep and grime. Red Bull Culture Clash pays tribute to this lineage, taking the clash concept to a whole new level. The 2012 edition is the third event of its kind to take place in London, but the first year that regional events have celebrated bass music reaching far into the four corners of the UK.

ABOUT RED BULL CULTURE CLASH

Red Bull Culture Clash is the third event of its kind to take place in the UK, the first forming part of London’s Red Bull Music Academy festival in 2010. Both events have taken place at Camden’s Roundhouse in March and October 2010 respectively. The event will start with a warm-up set at 7pm with the four rounds of the Culture Clash starting from 8pm. The rounds are broken into the following:

· NO ELIMINATION

The first round will see each artist playing a selection to gauge crowd reaction and warm up for the rest of the night.

· THE SELECTOR

Who has the best selector? The crowd decide as the soundsystems go head to head.

· SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY

One of the most controversial rounds of the Culture Clash: artists play tracks from their competing soundsystems’ genres.

· THE DECIDER

Time for the soundsystems to dig deep for the biggest tunes in their record bags for their chance to win over the audience once and for all. At the end of this round, the crowd will be asked to vote with their vocal chords as the Red Bull Culture Clash winner is decided – a decibel metre will be on hand to help hosts Tim Westwood and Gemma Cairney decide upon the winner.

· THE CROWNING

The winning crew will play out the night with their victory set
