Breathing some much-needed fresh air into the New York club scene back in summer 2010, District 36 has ploughed on, growing in stature with each monolith through its doors; its hard work and dedication rewarded with a 34-place leap in this year's poll.

Inevitably aided by the ongoing "EDM" resurgence, D36's continued success has been garnered by its deft booking policy, combining European greats with the plethora of local talent still bringing it to a city once home to the greatest clubs known to man. It may not be the Paradise Garage, but District 36 is still fighting the NYC cause - and winning.
