What kind of clubs do you guys get, where you live?

I live in Leeds. It's an hour on the train to Manchester. I put it to TA that the only places I could live in the world with a better choice of clubbing would be London, Berlin, possibly NYC and Ibiza if I were cheating.

But what's it like where you live?

Never been to one here. We don't do clubs. In fact I set foot in a club once in the past 5 years.

I've no idea where "here" is.

Colorado. I moved here from Montreal a year ago.
We had some great ones in Montreal. Stereo Afterhours being the absolute best.

All shapes, sizes, and varieties here in LA. Many with good sound systems. Pretty spoiled.

Of course there are better ones out there in the world, but compared to most cities, we've got it good.

Multiple quality parties every weekend.

There's this place now called 5uinto (5ifth) in Brasilia that is the brainchild of a local tech-house producer and attracts moderately big names all the time (from Oliver Klein to Umek). It's the best option available right now. Most other places play little EDM.

There have been many "dubstep raves" at the University of Brasilia, but they fizzled out because the organisers were apparently too stoned to even show up sometimes, so people would gather and wait for a DJ that never came. Sometimes they'd even forget what they were playing, and just played psy-tekk instead.

It's frustrating, really, because Brazil's best acid techno producer (Acid Chochi), lived just a few kilometres away from my flat, said he would never host a party here because there isn't enough demand, and he eventually moved to Colombia. Every now and then a big name DJ appears (Ferry Corsten, Tiesto), but that's about it

Well, in Trondheim, there's your usual night clubs, where you get to hear radio hits and there's nowhere to sit or talk with other people without shouting your lungs out.

There's maybe a few proper club events/nights a year, and we get some famous names once in a while; e.g. David Guetta was here two years ago.

I've seen Slagsmålsklubben and Gold Panda once, that was fun

södertälje has it's three or four clubs/bars that i've have set my foot in whenever a mate of mine has played or the likes. they are decent but i mean with swedish laws all premises within residential will close at 02:00 or 03:00 depending on which licenses and whatnot.

most of the times i'll be up in stockholm which is an 30minutes away by car and 45minutes by commute. there you have your fair share of establishments. same rules goes for alot of them but here it's 03:00 when most has to close.

some clubs have who are illegal or semi-llegal who get away with being open past the 03:00 closing rule with loopholes. they are for the most part more fun than the regular clubs as it is about the music. the beverages sold there is cheap beer that in most cases is awful and soft drinks. both of those options have been bought from lidl.

Oh we get all kinds. Drivers, Irons, woods, putters, wedges and chippers. Even some hybrid clubs.

This "afterhours" thing is something I've never really understood, because we don't have that in the UK. Over here, a normal club night will usually open at 9-10pm and shut at 4-6am. Some things (especially after-parties) can go on past 9am but they're pretty rare. But apparently in North America people often wake up in the morning and go out clubbing at mid-day?

Some time soon I will have to go over to Canada and US just to do some partying, because we all talk at each other on this forum like it's just dance music and just clubbing, but there's clearly huge differences in how it's done in different countries.

Absolutely horrible.

2hour train ride to and from Sydney not including the bus/walking travel time to the clubs.

Shitty ones that sometimes give me money, and always give me drink discounts.

Yeah, in NA they enforce "last call" no alcohol policies. People take "disco naps", wake up, drop some jenkem, and dance until the afternoon. Stereo is one of the better clubs I've ever been to, although it is not the same anymore.

In summer, when the club closes, you go to an island and party outside with International DJs at Piknik Electronik.

ARIA was awesome too Selma, don't lie. I have pictures

I think it's more that they keep the party going on for longer. I mean, I'd treasure my downtime when I was on drugs, but if there was a club that was open 24/7 I'd definitely hang out there when everything else closed down. People like to dance around.

Clubbing in UK felt pretty much like clubbing in Oslo. America might be different though. I don't think the cultures match up as well as the british and norwegian.

So does the club stay open after last call? What kind of time does the bar shut? And do international DJs play earlier or later in the night?

I've noticed that DJs tend to play much longer sets in NA, which may be because the clubs stay open for so long. In the UK it's got to the point where 3 hours is called an "extended set" and is hyped on the flyer. You almost never hear a DJ play for 4+ hours.

Mostly garbage here in Dayton, OH... save for the local gay club, "Masque"... which actually has a killer setup (Funktion One sound system, $500k lighting rig, etc.). But I haven't had the opportunity to play there, yet.

Other than that, it's mostly mediocre venues with the occasional fun show.

...What?

I go to Output and Cielo often. Both are owned by the same person, both have a Funktion One sound system and both are up there with the best sounding clubs in the world as far as I know. But to be honest, I much rather go to a loft party in Williamsburg than deal with New York club staff.

Nothing, really. A bunch of shit hiphop clubs, some top 40/VIP type shit, and then a bunch of smaller venues where local promoters put on shows. I generally hit some of those up.

I have been lost on my way to DC10 for years, is all I know.

Come to Denver, Jack. We'll take you to The Church for Goth night.

I believe he's making fun of you because most of us would kill to be in a place nearly as awesome. You said in the other thread you went to see Hybrid as if it were something normal.. if Hybrid came here, my post would've started with something like "After quitting my job and making sure nothing stopped me from enjoying this once in a lifetime opportunity, I camped in front of a nightclub and..."

The club stays open way past last call. Usually, places like that don't serve liquor at all during the night. I know that in places like Stereo and Circus, international DJ's sometimes take the reins for a good 6+ hours. Nothing like a good ol' fashioned Cattaneo journey.

Anyways, I don't live in MTL, haven't been to either yet, (Yeah I'm a tard) so can't comment on anything more than what I said. But, I used to frequent the infamous Comfort Zone in TO, and there'd be plenty of "surprise" visits by international DJ's who played at a different club the night (well morning of) before. They'd usually roll by at like 1-2PM and play a set, then leave to catch their flight or something

That being said, we like to complain living in such a big city, but honestly we have one of the best club scenes in North America. There's a plethora of international DJ's to choose from every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night at various clubs around the city. Granted, one thing that IS lacking in this city is proper sound at clubs, but it's getting better now with the recent installation at the BLK BOX Theater. Hopefully club owners will take the cue and realize patrons like myself want to hear more than just the rumbling of overworked subs. Not likely though.
