Domenic Cappello

Domenic Capello has maintained his weekly Saturday Subculture residency, the flagship night at Glasgow’s Sub Club, since 1994. His’s refusal to compromise his artistic vision was apparent from the start. After getting into electro and the break-dancing scene of the early 80s he became disillusioned with the lack of innovation and turned to old blues records. His first residency was at a blues club just outside Glasgow, where he surprised the crowd with his encyclopaedic knowledge of obscure blues records. He was popular and was offered both the Friday and Saturday nights. Alas, though, Domenic’s career as a blues DJ would be short lived. Acid House was about to emerge. Going down to the late 80s warehouse parties where a young Stuart and Orde (Slam) would play the music that was emerging from Chicago and Detroit at that time, Domenic realised that he wanted to be part of the future - not the past. Over the last ten+ years Domenic has established himself as one of the most credible and consistently innovative DJs in the world. Regular headline slots at the UK’s most important underground clubs including Back2Basics (Leeds), Fabric (London) and The End (London), have made Domenic one of the most respected DJs by in-the-know promoters, crowds and fellow underground DJs. Domenic has also played at around the world at such prestigious and credible clubs as The Rex (Paris); The Moog (Barcelona); Deep (Madrid); Food Club (Brussels) and Propaganda (Moscow).
