•●• Seller Introduction •●• SUBCITIZEN (Tony Grainger) has long been stirring experimental airwaves in Birmingham, UK. After selling off the studio gear he’d built up in his teenage years, he moved to the city to study sound engineering and soon found himself working at Tempest Records in the late ’90s. Already deep into a vinyl obsession—having made the switch from CDs in the mid ’90s—he took charge of techno, electro and electronica buying. This led to him being headhunted by Integrale Muzique, the influential international vinyl distribution company founded by Regis, central to shaping the Birmingham techno sound. From there, Tony was immersed in the global exchange of records, trading across the UK and beyond. As a promoter and DJ, his sound has always been fluid, but rooted in glitch, precision edits and loop-driven experimentation—whether pushing heavy dancefloors or exploring more abstract, atmospheric spaces. Across bookings and selections alike, the aim has remained consistent: presenting forward-thinking, genre-spliced experimentation at the cutting edge. For over 15 years, Tony has curated and run DJ events at the legendary Hare & Hounds, stage managing international and local talent. He continues to buy, sell and trade records—sitting on a formidable archive of vinyl—while regularly sharing selections through online and seller gatherings Expect a wide range of quality house, techno & electro panning all the eras, on 28th March at Pan Pan @subcitizen #electro #techno #electronica #housemusic #idm

Rust Resident Robot Social Feb 2026 Thank you to everyone who showed up. Next session loading.

The @rust_techno_and_electro event we put on at the end of February was a resounding success. I’m so chuffed with my mates @teyuna__ @jaredradish and Dr Pepperspray for all banging it out. Additionally Dr Peppersrpay for doing awesome visuals. And massive thanks to @kittensclawsout for doing a collection for the DJs to make it a free entry party. Here’s a little collection of videos she also took when I was playing. More parties coming soon. Full mix available on my mixcloud page and additionally launched on the @ccpar_network very soon. I had a lot of fun with lots of new very heavy records 🤟🤟🔊🔊🔊 #electro #electronica #techno #idm #wonkytechno
