Venue/Location

This year's edition of Drum and Jazz will take place at club Escape, Sofia, Bulgaria

 

Club ESCAPE has existed for more than 8 years at Angel Kunchev Str.1 in the center of Sofia. Since March 2007, the legendary disco opened doors under the management of Chocolate Ltd., after the most expensive and major renovation ever made in a night club in Bulgaria. The club now spreads over 1000 sq. m., key-positioned next to Garibaldi square – a location, which makes it a popular weekend destination, easily accessed by walking, by car, public transport, or the subway.

ESCAPE’s new design was a subject of discussion months before the club’s re-opening and probably will stay the talk of the city for long time. After entering the place, it strikes you immediately that the owners have invested impressive funds, thousands of man-hour labour and authentic author’s ideas in creating an interior that completely responds to the leading world designer and music trends. The team of the best Bulgarian architects was intentionally looking for the luxury of the high-quality materials, represented in the light of the modern minimalism.

Club ESCAPE has a one of a kind light show, integrated in the discotheque’s walls and bars. Lighting bands in topical bright colours alter constantly, pulsating in rhythm with the music, creating the illusion of a giant equilizer. The spectral analyzer on the walls is complemented by the latest model of lighting, high-technology laser with several million colours, multimedia and plasma screens. Spatially, the club is at 2 levels with more than 300 seating places – comfortable leather bar chairs at the balcony, a VIP lounge and even small beds in the chill-out zone sidelong the dancefloor. When we say “the dancefloor” let’s not forget we are talking about the legendary ESCAPE hipster scene. The tower speakers spread all over the club, 30 steps, ensuring 45 Kw power and 5 sound processors – such solid preparation speaks about serious attitude towards music and its main ambassadors - the DJs.

The club is open every week from Thursday to Saturday and presents one of the best local DJs from Sofia and around the country. The program also features various international DJs that spin at Escape each weekend.
