About SUBKULTURE!  -Subkulture as Organization -Subkulture Record Company -Subkulture Stations -Recognision of the Organization/Record Company 

Subkulture as Organization: Subkulture! is an independant organization group which started in the mid-nineties, its birth was made with Doi who started the gothic band Dominion, and Gerard also known as Dj Runeshadow, who were always in making private Gothic parties around in Manila. And eventually Doi and Gerard came together in a circle of contacts within formal event gatherings. Later on it got grip of making gatherings for a solid underground identity with Dj Runeshadow and other friends. And together they formed the Music Production label "Subkulture", also with Gothic/Dark Music underground events in de dark streets of Manila, Phillipines. With a handful talented musicians, producers and promoters, with artists and media personnel around the globe, Subkulture has its eyes focussed on the neice markets of lace in Goth, Metal, Rock, and Industrial music, A home for artists and fans they give a voice to its audience in the musical journey.  Currently the Manila crew have a thight 6 man unit, they're handling on on any aspect of marketing and management, and other operations.<BR> On the members at the supporters and fans it's a uncountable thing, there are lots of people.<BR> One of the masterminds lived overseas and he heard there was a new surge in the Goth scene in Manila.<BR> In New York there's a 3 man unit and 4 sleeper units, September 2007 is a rumour of having one of the events in New York infamous east village again,<BR> with a cooperation of the Gothic myspace group: MyGothicHeart.com, and hope for a calming down of the nightlife restrictions overthere at NY.<BR> <BR> The whole crew has a big impact on eachother, it's like a whole big family working with eachother and lead Subkulture to a succesful underground company.<BR> There's a common goal into this and with common camanderie and respect, working with eachother in a healthy environment, and meetups with great people<BR> as we learn from eachother, this may be a goth business but it's a assure that whole Subkulture has a fun team!<BR> <BR>

Subkulture Record Company:<BR> Subkulture Records! is another root of the Subkulture Organization, it began by a default when its release of Dominion's rare EP "The Hand Of Cain" came out<BR> near the year of 2002, Altough the Records part is still in its infancy, Subkulture can probably do a prediction of a solid force that's reckoned not only at the Phillipine<BR> dark scenes, but will also be reckoned globaly.<BR> <BR> The idea behind the start of Subkulture began that there wasn't any major label that worked well on the Gothic and Dark Scenes. So Subkulture started by itself, and began as Record Company like any other dyi person, so there was a new Record Label in birth,<BR> With good and talented producers, promoters and lots of work with any musicians and artists.<BR> <BR> At the moment there are no formal contracts in terms of the record productions, but only in events there are three brilliant Phillipino performant acts such as the bands:<BR> Dominion, Sea Of Rains, The Late Isabel, 5 Wounds To Enter, and Funeral frost, are the most respected underground acts in Manila.<BR> Subkulture Records has also been hosting some International acts, Perhaps on the recordings it will be a global experience.<BR> The record company would like bands under its contract for bands who work hard and put their energy in it, and does have a following future ahead on them.<BR> <BR>

-Subkulture Stations:<BR>

The Subkulture stations started at Manila, Phillipines and grew overseas in the heart of New York.<BR> And for future beings there is also worked on a station based in Europe.<BR> We think to bridge music in the Phillipines and to show the world the great energy of Filipino musicians to get to know eachother<BR> And as the counting friendships on the following.<BR. <BR> Recognision of the Organization/Record Company:<BR> Subkulture got recognision when the events started coming out in the open air and gotten sponsored by major company and brands like "Axe" cologne,<BR> "Marlboro", and many other of that kind of companies.<BR> This organization got remembered in the underground levels as delivering the Gothic scene in the Phillipines, also with the band Dominion.<BR> Lots of hard work and bleeding to the bones! on that what we believe in!<BR> <BR>

-Subkulture's Events:<BR> -Eastern Goth Valley 2002<BR> -Eternal Death Wake (a.k.a Eastern Goth Valley)<BR> -Konfessions<BR> <BR> -Subkulture's Events:<BR> Doing events and creating new events are always on the mind of Subkulture and hope for a succes in the Gothic underground scenes, It became a habit.<BR> There was at 29th of June 2007 a launch of Konfessions which became a good succes, it just has to be done with the right people.<BR> <BR> Eastern Goth Valley:<BR> In 2002 there was a Gothic festival born in the Phillipines Manila, named Eastern Goth Valley, the event came to life with top International performances such as:<BR> Eve Of Destiny (Japan) with Haruhiko Ash (ex-The Zolge) and Közi (ex-Malice Mizer, a famous gothic band)<BR> and Germany's "The Angina Plectoris".<BR> Together with the collaboration between Haruhiko's "Evil Boy Productions" from Tokyo/England, and Subkulture brought the birth of a Asian Gothic Festival that got the name "The Eastern Goth Valley".<BR> <BR> Eternal Death Wake:<BR> "Eastern Goth Valley" was its previous name but it has changed, it was renamed to "Eternal Death Wake" or "EDW" because there was no sense of a real formal name,<BR>and is still recognized as the best Annual Goth-Darkstyle Festival of Manila in the Phillipines, Where the locoal musicians, artists and dj's give the fans and other go-ers mix<BR> and have a great merry time under the yearly hollow call of this dark festival.<BR> Manila became a Mecca for the Goth scene as it has been viewed in a vision that it could be a good thing to start, Doi and Haruhiko Ash from EoD had a share on this view.<BR> Since Haruhiko had a Manila tour on his scedule which Subkulture hosted and had to bring a meeting of minds as Doi and Haruhiko agreed to have Manila as a suggestion for<BR>"Eastern Goth Valley", The name signifies the same thing as "Eternal Death Wake" and it happend to seem that an event coined by Dj Runeshadow is locally more Popular than before's EGV.<BR> Both are the same it's just the name that changed and lift up to a bigger thing in the marketing level, and the Ideology behind all this stays all the same as agreed by Haruhiko-san.<BR> <BR> For further plans and information on the Pinoy Dark Scene stay tuned for news and other at: www.subkulture.net<BR> © Subkulture<BR>
