Domenic Cappello at McChuills

Domenic Cappello is playing McChuills.  Yes, this coming July, one of the finest and most influential DJs Scotland has ever produced will be taking over the Acid Arch for what is going to be a strong contender for party of the year.  Alongside DJ partner Harri, Domenic has been running Subculture, their legendary Saturday at the Sub Club for over 30 years now, which is still every bit as cutting-edge and essential as it ever was, a testament to the pair’s knowledge and love for music, paired with an unparalleled instinct for moving a dancefloor. Domenic’s ability to read a crowd and build a groove means that he never has to resort to a succession of ‘big tunes’ to move a crowd. His sets are always fresh and musically interesting, with the possibility of going anywhere. Unafraid to take it deep and dark, Domenic’s sound represents a marriage between the underground house and techno sounds of Chicago and Detroit, an imagined future that is both hauntingly beautiful and yet uncompromisingly intoxicating. Whether it’s a 1986 acid house record, an Underground Resistance tune from five years ago or the current cutting-edge gem, his sets construct a futuristic narrative in constant flux. Technically breathtaking, Domenic has the ability to set any dance-floor alight, giving crowds the kind of clubbing experience that we’re told doesn’t happen any more. Support on the night comes from up and coming Glasgow DJs who are no stranger to sharing the decks with Domenic at Subculture themselves. Babyccino’s progressive, acidic and electro-y sound has been making a hefty impact in the last few years, much like emerging duo McCart, who’s style is more  influenced by 80s soul, funk and early Electronica, but all tied together with a love for techno, house and everything in between.
