Of all the Italian cliches, the one we love most is the fact that they love techno. Why? Because it's 100% true! Just ask the creators of Duel:Beat, a repeat offender in the Top 50 of this poll. If Italians do it better, they simply come here. Despite residing in Naples, there's nothing quaint and rustic about this warehouse venue, where only Italy's coolest and sexiest come to get freaky.

Ricardo Villalobos, Tania Vulcano and Virginia have all got deep, down and dirty here in 2015 already, while names like Ben UFO and talent from Ostgut Ton play here on the regular. If you ever needed proof as to why so many Italians are into proper dark, steely techno, look no further than Duel:Beat.
