Arma 17

Previously housed within an old gas-holding facility (circa 1865), Arma 17 was once one of the world's most obscurely located premises in this poll. Today, though, it resides in a warehouse in central Moscow after a fire in 2009, but its spirit lives on.

Probably the coolest venue in all of Eastern Europe — let alone Russia — this club prides itself on off-the-beaten-track techno bookings like Raresh, Deadbeat and Villalobos to keep its discerning clientele happy, in a country perhaps more associated with trance and hard dance.

The main room boasts a monster of a Funktion One system, while its other studio space owns a custom set-up produced by a Russian rocket scientist, proving further there is nothing ordinary about Arma 17.
