Sub Club
Sub Club is a nightclub in a basement space on Jamaica Street in Glasgow, Scotland. The entrance is a simple metal door with a submarine logo, and inside the space is dark with red lighting, low ceilings, and a very powerful sound system.
The place opened in 1987 as a funk and soul venue called Atlantis, before shifting to electronic music through the nineties. A fire in 1999 led to three years of closure, but the operators rebuilt the venue and kept its original spirit.
The name comes from its location below street level, and the submarine logo on the metal entrance door refers to that hidden underground character. Visitors from different backgrounds share the dance floor together, and many locals view the venue as an expression of how people shape the city and share joy through electronic music.
Reaching the venue is easy from the city center, as the location is within walking distance of many hotels, bars, and restaurants. The space fills quickly on weekends, and the low ceilings and loud music create a tight, energetic atmosphere.
A Chicago DJ named Roy Davis Jnr once sang on stage spontaneously, even though he had never performed vocals live before, and the crowd responded with excitement. The venue maintains authenticity by focusing on resident DJs who play all night, rather than booking many guest acts.

This collection brings together nightclubs that have shaped global electronic culture, from Berlin's techno temples to Mediterranean party venues. Places like Berghain, located in a former power plant in Berlin, or Bassiani in Tbilisi, tucked under a Soviet stadium, demonstrate how these spaces convert abandoned industrial sites into temples of electronic music. In Ibiza, clubs such as Pacha, Amnesia, and DC10 have maintained a party tradition for decades that attracts thousands of visitors from around the world each summer. Each destination offers a different approach to nightlife. London’s Fabric favors a focused programming in an underground space, while Ushuaia Ibiza hosts outdoor concerts by the pool. Amsterdam’s De School provides an experience set in a former technical school, and Tokyo’s Contact features a minimalist stage reflecting Japanese contemporary aesthetics. These clubs serve as gateways into local music scenes and their engaged communities.
