Florence is the romantic birthplace of the renaissance, the place that brought us visionaries such as Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo, so don't expect some rickety warehouse where the bogs don't work when you go to Tenax.

Started in the '80s, a cult hangout that brought the city New Order and new wave art-rock group Bauhaus, this tall dark room of hi-tech fuckery has refused to get stuck, booking Daft Punk along its path, snagging nu-skool talent like George Fitzgerald and Kyle Hall more recently.

Saying that, classic forms of house and techno remain at its core, with Villalobos, Hawtin and Väth regular offenders, ensuring this Italian club holds true to its roots, while it keeps at least one eye on the future.
