Superclub


Superclub is a term used to refer to a nightclub owned and managed by a dance music record label. E.g.The Haçienda club, which was owned by Factory Records. The term has also been used to describe large, multistory, high-capacity high-profile nightclubs, such as Pacha in Ibiza, or 1970s discotheques such as New York City's Studio 54 (opened in 1977) and The Saint (opened in 1980), and London's Heaven (opened in 1979), which were earlier versions of the genre.

Juliana's Tokyo which opened in Japan in May 1991 is probably the worlds most successful superclub.

These clubs became more popular in the early 1990s. Examples include Gatecrasher, Godskitchen, Mansion, Crobar, Paradise Garage and The End.
