Patru cluburi romanesti se numarau printre cele mai bune 100 de localuri de gen din lume, conform unui clasament realizat anual de cititorii revistei britanice DJ Mag.
Kristal Glam Club si Studio Martin din Bucuresti, respectiv Obsession si Club Midi din Cluj-Napoca au intrat si anul trecut in topul intocmit de DJ MAG, alaturi de cluburi din Las Vegas, New York si destinatii exotice ale lumii. In top se afla si cel mai mare local de gen din lume, omologat de Cartea Recordurilor.
Revista britanica noteaza ca orasul Cluj este unul dintre cele mai mari centre academice si culturale ale tarii, fiind cunoscut peste hotare pentru ca “le-au dat lumii pe Cheeky Girls”. Clubul clujean Midi, avand o capacitate de 800 de locuri, gazduieste adesea spectacole sustinute de nume mari din industrie, precum Booka Shade, Sasha,Ricardo Villalobons si Luciano, fiind clasat pe locul 26 in celebrul top (2012).
Aceeasi sursa atrage atentia ca Transilvania nu inseamna numai povesti cu vampiri, ci si distractii contemporane precum cele oferite de clubul Obsession din Cluj-Napoca. Avand o capacitate de 1.800 de locuri, acesta nu este doar un local destinat spectacolelor muzicii electronice, ci gazduieste si show-uri de striptease masculin oferite de celebrii “The Chippendales”. Obsession se afla pe locul 36 in clasamentul DJ Mag Top 100 Club’s 2012.
Clubul bucurestean Studio Martin are in spate aproape doua decenii de activitate. Voturile l-au clasat in 2012 pe locul 77 in topul celor mai bune cluburi din lume.
Kristal Glam Club din Bucuresti este unul dintre centrele preferate de distractie din inima Europei, doar in ultimele luni fiind gazda unor spectacole sustinute de nume mari precum James Zabiela, Nic Fanciulli si Dennis Ferrer. Acesta se afla pe locul 94 in clasamentul intocmit de revista citata.
Pe primul loc in clasamentul revistei DJ Mag 2012, pentru al doilea an consecutiv, se afla clubul SPACE din Ibiza, Spania cu o capacitate de 3.500 de locuri.
