The most important act to emerge from the Italian underground in the second half of the 1990s, Subsonica succeeded in reaching a mainstream audience without giving up anything of their artistic personality. Mixing dance, electronica, and pop/rock in an immediately recognizable blend, in many ways they represented at best the contemporary Turin scene, an extremely vital mixture of different races, styles, and rhythms born and grown up around the clubs (and the streets) of the Murazzi area. Besides, their constant attention to the visual and technological aspects of their music and image, from the videos to their Internet pages, made them an example for many multimedia Y2K bands.
