Tbilisi's popular rave destination Bassiani was on Wednesday revealed as Club of the Week in the latest selection by Resident Advisor, an influential online publication dedicated to electronic music and club culture.

Resident Advisor revealed the selection to its social media followers while listing the club's calendar of events for the month, and also highlighted the role of the capital city's venue beyond its status as a leading rave location in the country.

It noted Bassiani's hosting of regular series of queer events within its walls - a development significant for the community within a widely conservative social environment - as a notable element for the club's status in addition to is position for the domestic electronic music scene.

Home to significant local and international resident DJs, as well as the country’s first and most extensive queer party series - Horoom Nights - the club represents an underground base of music enthusiasts, artists and performers, deviant and marginalised groups, queer and feminist collectives and social movements who fight for equality, liberty and solidarity

The platform also presented the upcoming shows at the venue over the month of January, with invited performers joining club residents in customary formats for line-up selections of the club.
