@Lhance sounds like you have similar tastes to what I used to go for before I got old and uncool(er).

Jimjam, since we are sharing pictures and life experiences in the clubs, I will tell you how I acquired my taste of clubs and the type of ambience I still like to this day!
You know my early club life experiences began in Germany.
I first started going to clubs in Mannheim called The Milk and Ohm.
Both were underground dance clubs that looked to be at one time bomb shelters. The entrance of both lead down steps into a cavernous concrete room or rooms.
These two dance clubs were fairly unique as they both had DJs that spun what was called at the time breakbeat.
After about 6 months, the music started to change and begun to take on a much darker tone and the genre then started to be called "darkside."
The timing of this music turning darker coupled with my increased usage of "recreational" psychadelic tools of the mind created a period of my life I can't ever forget.
From the dancing, to the meeting of such interesting people through this underground dance scene my mind was truly opened wide beyond what I think would have been impossible had I not taken that path as a younger adult.
I was what you could call a pretty hardcore raver back then.
I don't live a life of that kind now, as I too grew up and older as you have Jimjam, but the experiences of my life so long ago forged much of how and why I think in the way that I do now.
This early part of my life taught me to be openminded towards others, and also to accept people of different lifestyles.
I ended up going to underground dance clubs all over Germany, easily my favorite ended up being in Frankfurt, a place called Omen which was way more dark in ambience than anything I had ever seen prior to that.
I will never forget the night DJ Pussylover played a live set at the Omen...
Omen also had a live drummer that would actually play with the music, and that added a whole other element to the sound in the club.
To put it simply, it was awesome!
