The Subdigitals, originally known as the Subsonics, is a fictional band in Code Lyoko.

Music

Their song, Break Away, was the closing theme for the episodes from Seasons 2-4. Break Away was also heard in several episodes, such as A Great Day, Mister Pück, Saint Valentine's Day, The Chips Are Down, Cold War, Lyoko Minus One, Music to Soothe the Savage Beast, and Fight to the Finish. William quotes a line from the song in New Order.

The Subdigitals also created a soundtrack for the series, that included several of their "hit singles", one being A World Without Danger/Un Monde Sans Danger, which is the main opening for the series from Season 1 until the end of Season 4. The majority of their music references the Lyoko Warriors, dealing with themes of connection, the Internet and leading double lives.

Series History

Subdigitals are often mentioned many times throughout Seasons 2-3, often merely name dropped as a common interest for many characters. They were known as the Subsonics at that time.

In Opening Act, the drummer Chris Morales arrives at Kadic. Acting on orders from his record label, he began a contest to look for new talent. He ended up enjoying Aelita's work the most, who had minor experience with music mixing starting from Final Mix and had an experimental mix made prior.

The Subdigitals appear in Crash Course, where they judge the finalists, ultimately settling on Aelita, despite her leaving due to an attack.

In Music to Soothe the Savage Beast, Aelita is attacked by a possessed Sophie, forcing the team to rescue her from an attack. After rewinding the events, Aelita is successfully able to perform her role as the opening act, concluding the storyline.

A Planet Net music video featuring 3D models of the band performing with spliced clips of the series was included as unlockable content in the video game Code Lyoko: Quest for Infinity.

Trivia

• According to Chris, the record label forced them to change their name from the Subsonics to the Subdigitals and were the reason why he was looking for new talent in students, acting on their behalf.
• The members of the Subdigitals, as well as their manager Sophie, are based on key members in the production team of Code Lyoko:
  • Chris is based on Christophe di Sabatino, a producer.
  • Ben or Benoit is based on Benoît di Sabatino, another producer.
  • Nic or Nico is based on Nicolas Atlan, also a producer.
  • Sophie is probably based on Sophie Decroisette, the writing director for the first three seasons.
  • Furthermore, Chris, Nico, and Ben all look like their producer counterparts.
• Sophie was voiced by Mirabelle Kirkland in the English dub.
• The Subdigitals appear in the comic Yumi, Subdigitals Groupie, where they hold auditions to find a dancer to be in their next video clip.
• An image of the Subdigitals in cartoon form make an appearance on Aelita's social networking profile page in the Code Lyoko Evolution episode The Trap.
• In the Code Lyoko Chronicles novel series, the band is named the Ceb Digitals. The band members in the novels consist of guitarist Freno, keyboardist Bumba, bass guitarist Mistik, and a lead singer named Gardenia. The latter of whom allegedly worked as a waitress in a Boston restaurant named Skate Willy before joining the band, though all evidence of her former career had reportedly been destroyed by the band's manager. As the manager goes unnamed in the books, it is unknown if they are Sophie or a different character original to the novels. The Underground Castle gives the band the motto, "Enjoy life and long live rock and roll!" and introduces a new song titled "Luv Luv Punka".
• In November 2022, Youtube user @TheKitsuneNetwork interviewed English singer Sebastian Davin on the process of recording the album.
• The Planet Net music video marks the only occasion in which 3D models were mixed with 2D to depict non-Lyoko related scenes.
