Named after a street frequented by Paris' most famous illusion artists, there's nothing fake about Tabarin. Emerging shortly after the Velvet Revolution, this single room venue came to light as a dance venue around '91.

Resident and creative director, Mekki Martin, then a 14-year-old pioneer of electro, progressive and tech house, since took steps to transform this live music cafe into a centre of EDM activity. Fitted with an OHM soundsystem and enough confetti cannons to bring down a fighter jet, Tabarin — a regular haunt for the likes of Nicky Romero, Tommy Trash and Cedric Gervais — knows which side its beats are buttered on.
