Melkweg
Studio Lam
A custom sound system built by the Zudrangma Records crew, playing molam and Thai funk to people who came specifically for it.
Sing Sing Theater
A Shanghai-1930s fantasy in red lanterns and birdcages. The design is the point; the music is better than it needs to be.
Bonobo
A terraced Bandra house that has been the reliable centre of Mumbai’s underground for over a decade. Small, unpretentious, consistently the best booking in the city.
Cine Joia
Musicbox Lisboa
Under an arch on Pink Street, and the most consistently interesting booking in Lisbon — batida one night, live noise the next.
Klunkerkranich
A car-park roof above a shopping centre, which sounds grim until the sun sets behind the TV tower and everyone stops talking.
La Bellevilloise
Las Dalias
Mirante 9 de Julho
A restored modernist lookout over the Nove de Julho valley. Daytime coffee, evening records, the best free view in the city.
Silencio
David Lynch designed the basement. Members-only until midnight, then a door that decides whether your evening improves.
Bonobo
A converted wooden house near Yoyogi-Uehara holding maybe forty people. Take your shoes off upstairs.
Foro Normandie
Damas
The Sultan Room
Romantso
Titanic Sur Mer
Casa 92
