Matrixx

Worthy of placement in this poll based on its credentials as a club alone, Matrixx is also the force behind multiple Dutch festivals — Emporium, Dreamfields, XXlerator Outdoor, Matrixx at the Park, Matrixx Live aan de Kade — and the owner of a professional basketball team (Matrixx Magixx). Yep, the clubs trade is big business in Holland — the country that generated six of last year's Top 10 DJs according to our poll — but while Amsterdam tends to generate most of its steam, opened in 2001, this recently souped-up EDM concert hall, kitted with hydraulic DJ booth and LED-lighting system, is more than worthy of a shout, for obvious reasons. As well as putting on gargantuan parties — XXlerator, Exxellent, Pure Pressure — featuring the likes of Steve Aoki, Armin van Buuren, Hardwell and Diplo each week, Matrixx is also credited with the first-ever hardstyle party in Ibiza at Privilege, as well as a party cruise from Stockholm to Riga.
