As integral to a club night as the soundsystem, dancers, staff, and music itself, the right lighting can transport us into an entirely different experience. Through Sobhan Sheikh’s eyes, lighting becomes more than atmosphere - it becomes emotion made visible ✰ .ᐟ
Since taking on the role of lighting technician at Sub Club in 2012, Sobhan has developed an instinctive relationship with music, using light to interpret sound and feeling in real time. For over a decade, he has helped shape the visual identity of countless nights at the club, “painting” the dancefloor from his unique vantage point in the DJ booth ☄️
In this video, we take a closer look Inside Sub Club, exploring one of the many elements that make the space so special ✩࿐
Accompanying the video is a song dear to Sobhan - and no doubt to many others - an instrumental rework of Music Is The Answer, created especially for this film by Danny Tenaglia. It’s a track that perfectly captures the journey he’s been on over the past year, and a feeling that only lights can convey for him 💡
