History

In 1999 a fire in the pub next door spread, damaging the club, which along with the accidental demolition of one of the club's walls, forced it to close until 2002.

In 2006 the largest bodysonic dancefloor in the UK was installed, with clubs such as Fabric also using such technology.

The long standing Subculture residents are Harri and Domenic, mainstays every Saturday since 1990, with JD Twitch and JG Wilkes' Optimo (espacio) every Sunday from 1997 to 2010. Other regular nights include Monox, Numbers, Return To Mono and sensu. The club has played host to world-renowned artists such as LCD Soundsystem and Derrick May as well as many locals including:
