60 years of music, culture and community. 

This year marked a huge milestone for @nhcarnivalldn, celebrating six decades since the first outdoor procession took to the streets of west London in 1966. 

Since then, Carnival has grown into one of the world’s biggest street festivals and an internationally recognised celebration of Caribbean culture, creativity and music. 

For Subfrantic, having been involved with Carnival for over half of those 60 years, celebrating this landmark birthday is particularly special. 

Take a look back at some of the moments and milestones that have shaped 60 years of Notting Hill Carnival, and keep an eye out for futures posts with more about our history with the event.

For the past 12 years, @yamaha_proaudio_official digital mixing systems have played an important role in helping us deliver The Experience in Lagos, one of the world’s largest gospel concerts. 

In 2018, Yamaha did a post on the role their audio mixing equipment played in the event, highlighting the introduction of PM10 into the project. Eight years after their original post our work at The Experience has again been featured by Yamaha, this time concentrating on how the brand's involvement in the event has developed and how we've continually integrated their new technologies into our workflow. 

This latest case study takes a closer look behind the scenes at the 20th edition of the event, where more than 500,000 people attended across the 12-hour production where our team worked alongside the House On The Rock's technical crew to deliver another huge show. 

Covering the evolution of the audio setup, this article talks about the RIVAGE PM10 and DM7 systems, the move to a fibre-based network and how the technology has developed alongside the event over the years. 

There are also some great insights from our MD Steve Davies and House on the Rock's Head of Audio, @eben_odunlami on the challenges of delivering a production of this scale and why reliability is so important. 

A huge thank you to Yamaha for featuring the project and for their continued support both in the UK and Nigeria.

Our search for the next person to join the Subfrantic team continues. 

We’ve had some great interest in our Junior Audio role so far, but there’s still time to apply. 

The role will be split between working on site at gigs and events and spending time at our South London warehouse, prepping and de-prepping equipment and developing your knowledge of the kit we use. 

Some industry experience is needed, but this is very much a role for someone who wants to learn, develop and build their career in live audio, with plenty of opportunities for hands-on and formal training along the way. 

We’re looking to have someone join us in mid to late October, with applications closing on 30 September. 

Interested? Email your CV and some information about yourself and your experience to team@subfrantic.com and we’ll send you the full job description.

Smaart comes in several different editions, but they all share the same fundamental interface and operating principles. 

If you’re relatively new to Smaart, understanding what the software can do, and how to approach its measurements properly, can make a big difference. 

That’s exactly what our upcoming Smaart Fundamentals Class is designed to help with. 

Two days of hands-on training with Kim Watson at Subfrantic.

Three festivals. One seriously impressive summer. 

This summer we were pleased to support @renmakesmusic as his live show headed to @allpointseastuk, @boomtownfairofficial and @boardmasters. 

Our involvement started before the festival stages, providing rehearsal spaces and pre-production support at Subfrantic, before supplying the audio and production package that headed out with the show. 

It was brilliant to see everything come together across three very different festival stages and to work alongside such a talented production and creative team. 

A huge thank you to everyone involved.

One to watch. 👀 

We were very happy to welcome @villanellemusic to Subfrantic for rehearsals ahead of their appearances at @officialrandl Festivals last month. 

Described by their management as a "UK-based, grunge-leaning rock band", Villanelle are already making their mark, building a growing following and playing some brilliant stages along the way. 

It was great to have them in rehearsing before such a big festival weekend, and we're looking forward to seeing what comes next for the band. 

Check out Villanelle and their music on YouTube.

BUSYBUSYBUSY!

August through September has just been stacked with amazing projects, so grateful to all the people that have trusted me with their songs or shows! More details to come about each project as soon as I can talk about each one, but im loving a life fully immersed in music. 

If you’ve got a project you are thinking of getting the ball rolling with, send me an email at liam@liamgunning.com or a DM and let’s make some noise!

One of the easiest reasons to put training off is thinking you need all the software and equipment sorted beforehand. 

For this course, you don’t. 

You can attend using the free 30-day Smaart Live v9 demo and Dante Virtual Soundcard trial. Just bring a suitable laptop and we’ll send full joining instructions before the class. 

If you’ve been wanting to understand Smaart properly, this is a chance to learn it hands-on rather than trying to figure everything out alone. 

13–14 October 2026 | Subfrantic, Bromley
