The vibe system
A controlled vocabulary, so two rooms tagged the same actually feel the same.

Rooms that share this one’s DNA.
If you like this, fly to…
The same feeling, in another city.
London
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.
Paris
Rex Club
The room where French techno was argued into existence, with a sound system maintained like an instrument rather than an amenity.
Glasgow
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.
Bangkok
Beam
A Funktion-One room on Thonglor Soi 55 that books internationally without behaving like a tourist club. The best sound in the city.
Amsterdam
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.
Tokyo
VENT
A basement with a custom system and a strictly music-first policy. If you only have one night in Tokyo and you care about techno, come here.
