Who writes Subsoul, and how
Subsoul is a new, independent project.
Where this domain comes from
Subsoul continues the theme this domain carried from 2001 to 2025: The underground and alternative hip-hop scene as a body of knowledge.
From 2001 to 2025 this domain was the home of "madvision", run by its original owner. The domain was acquired in 2026 and Subsoul is now an independent publication on the same theme, with no relation to the previous owner.
Subsoul did not exist before 2026; the years above belong to the former site, not to this one.
It maps the underground and alternative hip-hop scene: the artists, the albums, the tape releases, and the independent labels that shaped a distinct body of work.
A new project, plainly stated
Subsoul is a new project. It inherits the topic, the market, the language and the links of the earlier work on this domain, but it does not inherit the identity. It is not the former owner, not a continuation, and not affiliated with any prior site that used this address. It does not present itself as the former brand.
The name Subsoul is new. The editors, the design, and the editorial approach are new. What carries forward is the subject matter: the underground and alternative hip-hop scene, treated as a body of knowledge rather than a fan page or a chart tracker.
What Subsoul publishes
Short, sourced essays on artists, albums, labels and the cassette format. Each page leads with a plain answer, then unpacks the context. Links point to the related pages in this site and to the artists' own channels and releases.
Corrections and takedown
If any page here misrepresents an artist, a label, or the earlier site, the correction request is honoured. If an artist or rights-holder asks for material to be removed, it is removed. Subsoul does not host audio, lyrics, or artwork it does not own.
