Sub Focus played a new version of his Circular Sound live show in the Great Hall, billed as the biggest show of his career to that point.
A new version of Sub Focus’s live show, Circular Sound, filled the Great Hall at Alexandra Palace in Wood Green on Friday 7 March 2025. It was billed as his biggest show to date.
Nick Douwma, the producer behind Sub Focus, was born in 1982 and began as a rock fan whose first influences were The Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers. At 13 he found software for making electronic music and taught himself to produce. He found jungle and drum and bass through “Incredible” by M-Beat and General Levy.
He studied sound engineering at college and has released records since 2003. His breakthrough came in 2005, and he is known for the singles “Tidal Wave” and “Endorphins”.
His albums are Sub Focus (2009), Torus (2013) and Evolve (2023), and Portals (2020) was a joint album with Wilkinson. He has also worked with Dimension and Chase & Status.
Before the Palace, his live shows had sold out Brixton Academy and Wembley Arena.
