As the co-founder of Turbina, Központ, and INOTA Festival, and also known as a DJ under the name Subotage, László Papp explores the experiences of an intense and transformative period of his life through ten tracks on his latest album, released under his pop-oriented alter ego. The record also features guest vocals from Solére, Laura Döbrösi, and Eszter Lovasi, among others.
When attending a club night or festival, audiences usually only see the finished result: the music is playing, the venue is running smoothly, and people are coming together. Over the past twenty years, Laci Papp has made this happen countless times, both as the founder of the NVC event collective and through the various music and cultural projects he has helped establish and operate.
On his new, genre-blending second full-length album, he offers a glimpse into what it takes to create and sustain these experiences, while navigating a period in his own life when many of the things he once considered certain are shifting beneath his feet.

“For me, this album represents both the closing of a major chapter in my life and, at the same time, a return to my roots,”says the producer.
Best known as Subotage for his DJ sets at techno and psytrance parties, he explores a more personal side of his musical identity under the name Surfalone, creating pop-influenced electronic music layered with guitars.
Following his 2018 debut album, which was built around the metaphor of waves, his new material reflects a more conscious understanding of inner emotional processes and personal transformation. At the same time, the struggles of Budapest’s nightlife scene run quietly through the background — from venue closures and ongoing challenges to standing up for what matters, solidarity, and the strength of community.
