Miniscule of Sound

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Miniscule of Sound opened in London as the world's smallest nightclub in August 1998, in the changing booth of a disused outdoor swimming pool, as a parody of Ministry of Sound. The nightclub has a maximum capacity of 14 people (including DJ) in an area of 4 feet (1.2 metre) by 8 feet (2.4 metre), with a dance floor of 2 square metres. It has travelled the world and in its time has refused many a supposed superstar DJ - most notably asking Fatboy Slim for a demo tape before considering offering him a slot. In Australia the rebuilt club was "accidentally" thrown away after its appearance at a festival in Melbourne. In Beijing the nightclub was built from scratch, allegedly in a converted horse trailer. Although entrance is free, the doormen may eject anyone at any time. The Beijing club had a capacity of 8 people; however the record is 26, though not all of them could touch the floor at the same time.
