Laszlo Papp, one of NVC’s founders, started making music on a computer at the age of 12 and spent each summer discovering the world of djing with a two channel mixer and a couple of cd and cassette players. Live music and electronic music have both always been an important part of who he was: while exploring electronic music, he started his own band playing the guitar and singing.
Subotage’s dj sets touch upon various styles from techno, house to many types of cutting edge genres. He was also interested to find new sounds on the boundary of psychedelic and techno music.
In the last decade he played at nearly all the clubs in Budapest, is a returning guest at festivals like Alkototabor, Ozora or Kolorado. He shared the stage with acts such as Chemical Brothers, Moderat, James Holden, Jon Hopkins, Moby, Röyksopp, Tricky, Apparat, John Talabot, Paul Kalkbrenner, Extrawelt, Ace Ventura and Atmos.
His first ever digital release came out in 2011 followed by a string of remixes for groups like Zagar, Occam, Colorstar or Anima Sound System. Hitting stores in 2015, a remix prepared for the tv series Utopia was his first release in the UK. In 2015, he joined the theatre group Nylon Group, with whom he worked on the soundtrack of the piece titled Halotti Thor.
In 2016 and 2017 he was working on his own studio album under the alias Surfalone, and the album came out in the February of 2018 at the Hungarian label called Selected Sounds.
In the summer of 2018 he prepared a remix for Anima Sound System's legendary track called '68 and jumped back to the stage.
2019 was full of new experiences for him, with special gigs, like in Brazil at the magical Adhana Festival on NYE, or Ozora Festival’s Pumpui stage. This was, by his own admission, his most important in his life so far when he became one with the amazing and huge crowd.
He closed the decade with a special studiomix called Psychotechno 2020, summarizing his feelings about the past years and sharing his vision about the next ones.
2020 started with great adventures for him when he stuck on the festival called Tribal Gathering in Panama, captured by the local military.
Since then he is working on new tracks in his studio in Budapest, waiting for the Sun to raise again.
