fabric
Room One’s bodysonic floor still does something no other club in Britain does: you feel the bass through your feet before you hear it.
Tresor
The vault corridor under a decommissioned power station, still the loudest argument for why Berlin sounds the way it does.
Rex Club
The room where French techno was argued into existence, with a sound system maintained like an instrument rather than an amenity.
Sub Club
A low arched basement on Jamaica Street with a Sunday-night residency older than most of its dancefloor. The best small room in the country.
Corsica Studios
Two small arches under the railway with a booking policy braver than clubs ten times the size.
Basement
Under the Knockdown Center, the closest thing America has to Berghain’s floor — and it is unusually honest about the debt.
Shelter
Underneath the A’DAM tower, dark and low-ceilinged, with a door policy that has kept it feeling like a club rather than a landmark.
Heaven
Under the arches at Charing Cross since 1979, and still the front door of queer London for anyone arriving in the city.
UNIT
XOYO
Floyd Miami
The small room under Space. Better for the music, worse for the story you tell afterwards.
Safe Room
Dalston Superstore
A bar upstairs, a basement downstairs, and the most reliable queer night in east London on almost any day of the week.
Musicbox Lisboa
Under an arch on Pink Street, and the most consistently interesting booking in Lisbon — batida one night, live noise the next.
Cakeshop
La Cheetah Club
Prince Charles
A drained swimming pool in a courtyard basement. Smaller and warmer than the city average, and better for it.
Mustache Bangkok
Vurt
La Java
Fünk Club
Sub Club Melbourne
Solfa
Maggie Choo’s
Volt
antiSOCIAL
A basement built for live music that turned into the city’s most important room for local electronic acts.
Zinco Jazz Club
A bank vault basement downtown running live jazz six nights a week. Book, or stand.
