Top 50 Clubs In World
DJmag.com can exclusively reveal the Top 50 Clubs in the World - as voted for by international DJs.

While the DJmag staff have our own extensive clubbing knowledge, we thought it much more appropriate to throw this vote open to the DJs who regularly travel on the international circuit - after all, they get about a bit!

We asked 600 DJs from all around the world to name their top three clubs, based on their DJing experience.

The results have been added up to create this unique poll, which was published in the last issue of DJmag (29 March 2006)

Capacity was 2000 before they opened up the huge room that goes along the back. I believe capacity is 3300 right now. On the Grooveticket listings, it still says 1800.

Congratulations??? How can you say congrats considering we�ve had residencies w/ Ferry and Sasha? When we have the likes of PvD, Tiesto, Digweed, Oakenfold, etc regularly playing in California for so many years now. On any given New Years you will have several top 10 Djs playing in California or Vegas. This ranking is abysmal.


LOL the club in India is ranked higher. Well it wasn�t a surprise to me. DJs do not remember a gig solely based on how great the �sound� is; the club could have the most state of the art audio equipment but if the crowd and �vibe� arent right all of those audio delights are of no use.


I once had a false sense of superiority in regards to the EDM scene here, but then I did something very simple. I got a passport, saved up some money, and traveled a little. Let�s just say I found it to be a refreshing �breather� if you will. For the most part there was no cloud of noxious fakery and superficiality that usually hangs around in Avalon or Spundae. Simply put the people were friendlier and more sociable.

I�ve learned my lesson�instead of wasting $50+ for some show over here I might as well save up and have a TRUE club experience abroad. Yes you may argue tickets are not always $50. This is true, but when you consider the high price of the diluted and horrid drinks served at Spundae/Avalon the average bill per person gets rather high�

Ice isn't on there cause they dont' pull many big names regularly. They get armin twice maybe 3 times a year, tiesto once or twice, and a few others once a year er so. But the djs they regularly pull are not that great imo.

Plus look at the voters in this poll, not the main target of Ice, which owes a lot of profit to tourists looking for a party. They do have a sound system and can pull in big names and true fans, but nothing like ive seen at other clubs on that list.

this is america, and furthermore hollywood... what do you expect? to think any edm party in america is superior to any around the rest of the world is flat out ignorance.

And drinks are cheap abroad? Try 15 EUROS for a shot of Bacardi @ the Rex, 375 Euros for a bottle of Jack Daniels.

alcohol is cheapest in austin. sixth st bars have $5 all you can drink college nights, some nights 25 cent beers from the tap, $2 bottles, $8 pitchers, and $3 mixed drinks unfortunately the music sucks (lil jon/50 cent remixes), but friendly ass crowd and i got drunk for free because it's so cheap for others to buy you drinks they don't even care!

I'm not sure about Avalon, but you just need to go to the right bartender @ Spundae.
