Subhead

Subhead was an experimental techno duo formed by London-based artists Jason Leach and Phil Wells. Established in 1996, the pair launched their own self-titled label, Subhead Recordings, initially releasing exclusively 12-inch vinyl records. In 1999, Wells relocated to Tokyo, expanding his musical endeavors under the moniker DJ Sueme.

Subhead gained significant recognition for their dynamic live performances. Their sound blended a core techno foundation with influences drawn from hip hop aesthetics and a pronounced punk rock ethos. This fusion contributed to their reputation for energetic and boundary-pushing sets.
