This former bus garage revolutionised London clubland when it opened in the early 1990s. With its amazing soundsystem and attention to detail, Ministry played a big part in the ‘90s house music explosion by booking a load of the top US jocks to fly over to the UK and creating line-ups around them. They were a timely home for UK garage for a while, too, and a bit of drum & bass, but as other top London clubs like Fabric and The End put on cooler underground nights, Ministry line-ups started looking a little tired and largely catering for tourists. Not any more, though. […] Source: DjMag.com

Ushuaïa Ibiza is a party spot that needs little in the way of introduction. A five-star luxury beach hotel by day, and clubbing paradise by night, the seven-year-old venue boasts heart-stopping views of the Mediterranean, while championing some of the biggest DJ names on the planet. Since its inception in 2011, Ushuaïa has been unique in its ability to throw day parties, too — since there aren’t many other places where you can catch acts whilst gradually bronzing under the glare of the Balearic sun. It’s a formula that means they’ve consistently been able to blow their competition out of the water, and the Playa d’en Bossa venue is a staple on the checklist of any serious Ibizan partygoer.

Seoul’s number one nightspot retains its place smack-bang in the middle of the top 10 for another year. Having rocketed up the chart after first entering in 2012, Club Octagon has consistently performed, and it’s no wonder, given the space attracts an average of 7,000 punters every week — and that’s just when it’s local talent in the booth, with EDM titans such as Marshmello, Bassjackers and Quintino regularly gracing the decks, that number is certainly subject to change!

When the lease for Zouk Singapore’s iconic Jiak Kim Street location — the huge converted warehouse it had occupied since 1991 — expired at the end of 2016, Singapore’s only internationally established superclub brand re-opened at Clarke Quay, a historic stretch of land next to the Singapore River, on 4th March. The move had taken over a year to plan and following a campaign to save one of the world’s most famous clubs backed by the likes of Hardwell and Laidback Luke, and a series of massive closing parties, Zouk Singapore was reborn within its new incarnation in a glorious hail of confetti, and they haven’t looked back since.

Green Valley has been in the top three of this poll for the past few years, and shows no sign of fading away. This magnificent electronic music playground didn’t exist ten years ago — in 2007 it was nothing more than a makeshift tent in the middle of an open airfield, set up to host a local rave. Carl Cox headlined that first event, entertaining thousands in his inimitable, infectious way, and the Green Valley partners set about transforming the space into a festival-style jungle superclub. Set in the south of Brazil, in the region that’s been dubbed ‘Brazil’s Ibiza’, it’s a wonderful place to party. […] Source: djmag.com

The story of Fabric’s 2016 will go down in dance music folklore. After famously being shuttered following the deaths of two teenagers from drug-related causes during the summer last year, pretty much the whole of clubland united behind Fabric’s #saveourculture campaign to have their license reinstated. The situation also had a wider impact on clubbing culture, acting as a catalyst to open up the conversation about policing, planning and licensing venues in the UK. And since reopening in January, the Farringdon venue has welcomed a huge array of artists back to EC1, including regulars like Seth Troxler and Ben UFO, as well as Ricardo Villalobos, who Fabric’s promotion manager Judy Griffith describes as an “honorary resident” when speaking to DJ Mag about Fabric’s year. “He was returning home,” he explains. “A sight we never thought we would see again and it was emotional for all of us, Ricardo included.”

All good things must come to an end, and boy was Space Ibiza a good thing. For 27 years from 1989 to 2017, Pepe Rosello’s club ruled over the dance world with pioneering authority. It was one of the main reasons many ravers made their first pilgrimages to the White Isle, and was a place plenty of DJs dreamed of playing because everything about it was super-sized, from the club itself — with its five different arenas and bathroom areas, three VIP spaces and 600,000 visitors a year — to its festival-sized line-ups. It was also the only place we thought fitting to host our own 25th birthday event, and you officially voted it to the top spot of our annual poll firstly in 2007, then consecutively from 2011 to 2014, then again in 2016, and now one final, fitting time in 2017. Now it is gone for good. If you didn’t make it you never will, if you did, you will never forget: To be lost on one of the open-air terraces (a real rarity in Ibiza), as roaring airliners fly overhead and with the club’s custom-made Funktion One pummelling you as Italians, Spaniards, Americans, Brits and countless other nationalities stand shoulder to shoulder, beaming from ear to ear, was one of dance music’s most essential experiences.
