I found IDL Ballroom nestled at the corner of East 1st street and South Detroit Avenue in the Tulsa entertainment district. The event was breaming with bright eyed dance music enthusiast, primed to set the night on fire. A kaleidoscope of colors blanketed the crowd from the laser lights poised above while they danced to the infectious tunes delivered by DotEXE. Fresh from touring iwht Krewella he blanketed Tulsa with an amalgamation of engaging tunes,. The moment Figure took center stage the audience’s energy became effervescent. Figure fed their energy with basin throwbacks, low end growls and aggressively krisp drums. The signature sound that he is internationally known for. His DJ set ran the gamut of dance music’s grittiest and grimiest tunes. Infused with perpetual energy and turntable dexterity, he yielded  a playlist that drove the densely packed dance floor into a riot. The crowd held on to each cresendoing snare build, beckoning the inevitable drop of low frequency madness. Upon completed of his set the crowd stormed the stage to deliver a proper Oklahoma welcome to Figure. Subkulture had delivered. Subkulture was founded in 2003 by DJ, Designer and Promoter Gerry Westby. Rooted in Tulsa, Subkulture began as an independent record store specializing in EDM clothing, vinyl, CD’s and Nightlife merch. 

In 2005 the brand launched Subkulture Records. The imprint focused on Break Beats and House Music. SR released Agent K’s “Start the Panic!” Shortly after their label began. Since then Subculture has held strong to delivering dynamic shows at countless nightlife destinations. Subkulture’s next nightlife endeavor will present DJ Shadow to Tulsa on Friday May 10th at The Idl Ballroom. For more info touch base with www.iamsubkuilture.com.
