Past
Subkulture began as the First roving goth club in Metro Manila, The Philippines. Exclusively playing Gothic and Industrial music to a small but growing audience in the 1990s, these series of shows spurred the emergence of the nascent Gothic lifestyle which was non-existent at that time, having adhered to a significant following, the birth of more elaborate shows and growing numbers caught the attention of the mainstream media and eventually the acceptance of the genre by the masses and corporate sponsorships.
The label is credited for the wider acceptance and mainstream appeal of Goth and Industrial events in Manila without commercializing it. Fliers promoting events produced by Subkulture note they are benefits.
Subkulture's Eternal Death Wake (EDW) Music Festival primarily known as The Eastern Goth Valley is an Annual Music gathering held every October,it is credited by the public as the country's first Goth festival and has been included in Japan's Burst Magazine amongst others. due to its popularity, the EDW is often mistaken as the first "Goth Club" in Manila, this is a false predicament as its predecessor loosely identified as Klub Gargoyle is said to have preceded it since the beginning.
The EDW Event has hosted various foreign artists such as The Angina Pectoris (Germany), Eve of Destiny (Japan), Kozi (Japan), Roughhausen (Canada / Taiwan ), Dj Eiji (Japan), Haruhiko Ash (Japan), DJ Nekrokael (France)) and Psydoll (Japan).
Subkulture is also noted to help advance the careers of many young acts in the Philippines.
