Overall good coffee table book for a surface level understanding of nightlife hotspots around the world (esp. electronic music hubs).
What I loved most were the historical tidbits thrown in about how music scenes developed in cities and how politics influenced nightlife/raves (and vice versa). Sadly, there wasn’t enough of this IMO. The book spent most of its time simply name dropping famous clubs and DJs in different areas of the world. For a deeper read into electronic music and nightlife, I would turn to something else.
On a positive note, the photos in the book are beautiful - and reading this will remind you just how global electronic music is becoming and how nightlife really makes more of a political statement than we think.
