A frontal stage with an artist, a visual effects screen behind him, lasers that focus on the floor and the occasional smoke cannon. Typical, right? It is history. The nightlife world advances quickly, like everything in this world, and invests more than ever in cutting-edge technology to offer immersive experiences that play with the senses of those who fill the dancefloor. More and more clubs are betting on a set of futuristic structures to look impressive even when empty. These are, for us, the 10 best futuristic clubs on Earth.
1. Hï Ibiza
Ibiza has been a point of reference worldwide for many years. Specifically, Space Ibiza has been on the top1 for a lot of time. In 2017, Space died and Hï was born, a new club concept in which the visual equals the importance of sound. Its mobile platforms generate a constant sense of incredible movement in the audience. The design was made by Eric Prydz, resident artist on Tuesdays and leading artist in the 3D visual industry with his EPIC shows. Other techno or trance capos like Black Coffee or Armin van Buuren often appear at Hï.
2. Printworks London
Also, in 2017, a new multifunctional space was born in Canada Water in London. Printworks dancefloor is narrow and long… very long. Its speaker framework optimizes the sound power in any corner of the nightclub. The roof is so high that the clubber feels to be in an endless passageway. A passage from which nobody would want to escape. Techno, garage and drum ‘n bass are the main tendencies. Ben Klock, Pendulum, Peggy Gou, Skream or Dj Koze are some of his most usual guests.
3. The Block Tel Aviv
If you ask any DJ where he wants to act tomorrow, he will always answer The Block. For many artists and music lovers, this is the best equalized club in the world. Furthermore, it’s set in a spaceful environment, with planets spread all around the room making clubbers and artists to fly in a world made of melody and blunt bass. Dixon, Tale Of Us, Mano Le Tough, Adriatique, Recondite, Pan-Pot … That’s where the best ones go. Without exception.
4. D-Edge Rio & Sao Paulo
D-Edge has got a venue both in Rio de Janeiro and in Sao Paulo. It is one of the most famous clubs in Brazil. In its venues, floor, wall and ceiling are fused by straight lines to create a 100% enveloping atmosphere. Impossible not to get carried away in such an environment. From Pete Tong to Monoloc, going through the best live shows, like those by Abdullah Rashim or Giorgia Angiuli; they have all acted on D-Edge.
5. Zouk Singapur
It is hard to decide if it is more impressive what one has below or what one has on top of him/herself. Zouk combines colours and textures with a modern and groundbreaking style, avoiding any straight lines and sharp angles. Wavy textures and fantastic tones give you a warm welcome in Singapore. There, one can listen to diverse and more alternative proposals. The house by Kim Ann Foxman or the trance by Cosmic Gate or Dash Berlin.
6. Green Valley Brasil
Nature means green and in Green Valley even lasers are of that color. If you visit Brazil, you cannot miss it. In Green Valley, the music is fused with the natural green color, under a megastructure of pharaonic dimensions. Oliver Heldens, Lost Frequencies or Robin Schulz are some of those who have recently sold out.
7. Womb Tokyo
In Womb, the image of a club and the one of a festival are intermingled. A large circular structure located on the roof allows spectacular light panels to project their light onto a stage decorated with colourful squares. Sometimes, the most simple thing is the most shocking. Richie Hawtin ended up dancing among the audience once.
8. XS Las Vegas
This venue can be the cabaret of the next century. Its golden tone gives a certain sense of luxury over a club where the tables and sofas surround a central court not suitable for shiny people. An indoor pool also allows the bravest to have a bath while they dance and enjoy the night. Big names of the mainstream scene like Diplo or The Chainsmokers are alternated with more underground acts.
9. AHM Beirut
Its triangular bar and its luminous panels provoke a certain sensation of symmetry, making one doubt between if what he’s seeing is actual reality or the simple reflection from a mirror. In AHM, the best DJs in the world have acted, such as Fur Coat, Rodriguez Jr., Marc Romboy or the great Sven Väth, and nobody has ever said a bad word about the club.
10. T7 París
T7 (Terminal 7) is one of the newest clubs in Paris. Located at the Porte de Versailles, T7 is a large club with a huge hall at the top, offering stunning views of the city and of the Eiffel Tower. Its interior architecture is impressive, and the neon lights create an exciting atmosphere. House and techno find their home at T7. Apollonia, Sam Paganini and Sonja Moonear, among many others, have been behind this club’s decks.
