Subject 31

Scott Garbutt (Subject 31) is a 28-year-old dubstep and electronic music producer hailing from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Under the alias Subject 31, Scott has gained international recognition for his versatile yet distinctively robotic sound design, paired with hip-hop-oriented flow and a touch of humor. Subject 31 started as a passion project in 2012 by a dubstep, electro house, and hip-hop fan who was obsessed with creating the music he wanted to hear. From 2016 to 2020, Subject 31 toured the USA multiple times, headlined a tour in Australia, and notably performed to 5,000 people at ANIMALZ in Paris, co-headlining with Noisia, 12th Planet, Oolacile, Samplifire, and Mvrda. During this period, Subject 31 released an EP on Disciple Roundtable and singles for Never Say Die Black Label and Buygore. When the project began, Scott never imagined he’d be named in UKF’s Top 10 Artists to Watch, while sharing the stage with some of his greatest heroes. In 2025, Subject 31 returns after a three-year hiatus with his long-awaited debut LP, "Lost // Found." The album is a journey through overcoming the defeat of data loss, conquering self-doubt, and rediscovering a love for music creation. On one hand, Subject 31 hopes to showcase both vulnerability and technical prowess, but on the other, he’s ready to stop taking music so f****** seriously and just have fun with it again. Scott aka Subject 31 is back in business.. 2025 is a new slate,. May 31st save the date.
