Hardpop is often heralded as one of Mexico’s most respected clubbing institutions, and its return to the DJ Mag Top 100 Clubs is testament to that. “Hardpop was born in a way of seeking freedom and a place for holding a community in search of a proper club experience,” explains David Teruel, the booking and branding manager of Hardpop. Founded in 2006, the club puts international DJs alongside Mexico’s homegrown talent, and has built a dedicated fanbase. In the past year it hosted Carl Craig, Kobosil, Magda, Stacey Pullen and Chloé Caillet to name a few, and continued to improve the clubbing experience with upgrades to the Danley Sound Labs audio setup and a brand new LED lighting system.
