subClassic started as an electronic music project in suburban Vancouver in 1993. They released one album: 1997's Mum. In the Spring of 1997, subClassic released their debut album of twelve original compositions. Self-produced and published on their own label, United Partnerships (UP Records), Mum was mastered at Red Stripe Studios by Matteo Caratozzolo. The release enjoyed a stint at the top of the Vancouver indie charts and spawned three singles that went on to be commissioned by EA Sports for use in a series of video games. Between 1997 and 2000, subClassic played live at every Vancouver and Whistler nightclub. Quasi-residents at Ginger Snaps! at Mars, the duo rocked "it" from Sonar to Tommy Africa's and many filthy, sweaty, seedy clubs and parties in between. subClassic were darlings of the Vancouver press in the late-1990s sometimes being mentioned up to once a week in the Classified Ads. The pair were also interviewed by the genre-defining Capsule Magazine shortly before the organ unaccountably disappeared in a holocaust of apathy. subClassic were Ian Ascough (trombone) and Jeremy Harrison (vocals). "I saw subClassic play live once and the older I get the better they were."
