Despite forming just over a year ago, Miroir finds itself slap-bang in the middle of this poll. An exceptional achievement for a mid-sized venue opened January 2012.

However, Miroir isn't your average one-up, one-down dancefloor establishment.

This laserdrome stack of floors, bars and walkways is a decadent filing cabinet of late-night debauchery, delivering all the glamour expected of a nation with one of the world's fastest growing economies.

With ballistic beats and big-room melodies at its core — a DSA Line Array system its beating heart — Miroir, which has flown over Tocadisco, Pete Tha Zouk and EDX to play already, is an enticing reflection of clubbing standards other Brazilian institutions (should) strive to follow.
