History

It was located in one of the many emergency military storage bunkers and tunnels stretching under Bratislava castle. The club was known for hosting alternative and electronic music nights, such as the well-known techno parties organized by Subtech [1] during the 1990s. The club housed an extraordinarily wide range of other significant musical events in the city, including drum&bass, techno, minimal techno, electro, alternative rock, punk, metal, reggae, ska and crossover clubnights. Subclub played a major role in developing the Slovak techno sound of artists such as Toky (Rumenige), Loktibrada and DJ Boss and served as the base outlet for the well-known Bratislavian minimal electronic label LFB. The club, during the 26 years of its existence, also hosted famous DJs, such as Jeff Mills, Rødhåd, Marcel Dettmann and others.

Subclub's closure

Subclub closed its doors indefinitely on June 29th, 2019, following The Final Hit farewell event. The club was closed due the fact that new neighbourhood, called Vydrica Project[2], is being built in front of the club. The neighbourhood was already planned to be built during years 2007 and 2008, but this decision was on hold after the worldwide financial crisis affected Slovak economy.
