The vibe system
A controlled vocabulary, so two rooms tagged the same actually feel the same.
More in Paris
Rooms that share this one’s DNA.
Paris
Badaboum
Paris
La Java
Paris
Rex Club
The room where French techno was argued into existence, with a sound system maintained like an instrument rather than an amenity.
Paris
La Bellevilloise
Paris
Djoon
A small warm room that has kept its faith in deep house for two decades while the rest of the city chased the harder thing.
Paris
Silencio
David Lynch designed the basement. Members-only until midnight, then a door that decides whether your evening improves.
If you like this, fly to…
The same feeling, in another city.
Ibiza
Pikes
A hotel with a tennis court, a folkloric guest list and the best small parties on the island. Freddie Mercury’s birthday happened here; the room still behaves accordingly.
New York
House of Yes
Circus, cabaret and a dancefloor, run on an explicit consent policy that other clubs should have copied years ago.
Milan
Plastic
Forty-plus years of Milan’s most opinionated door. Half the reason to go is who else got in.
Mexico City
Yu Yu
A small hi-fi room in Roma with a bar programme as considered as the sound. The most consistently good night in the city.
Berlin
SchwuZ
Berlin’s longest-running queer club, still the warmest room in the city and the one least interested in your trainers.
London
Dalston Superstore
A bar upstairs, a basement downstairs, and the most reliable queer night in east London on almost any day of the week.
