Club XT3 was founded in 1995 on the premises of a former shop and tattoo parlour not far from the centre of Prague in Karlin district. It's now moved to bigger and better digs in Žižkov.

 

KLUB XT3

R
ight from its inception the club focused on DJ culture - drum&bass, hiphop, house, reagae. At that time most of the now-famous DJs used to come to the club to practise their craft and lots of them made their debut in front of an audience at the club.

 

In the beginning the club borrowed decks and equipment for the weekends, but XT3 soon bought its own equipment and the club started bursting at the seams, especially on Wednesdays and Thursdays when hiphop and drum&bass nights are held.

 

The club got its name from a Russian tractor, whose radiator still hangs on the wall to this day.

 

In the Russian alphabet XT3 stands for "Charkovskyj Traktorovyj Zavod" (Kharkov Tractor Plant).

 

In 1999 XT3 expanded downwards, adding an extra room for DJs and dancing, a gallery, a second bar and a table-football room. The club's capacity doubled and simultaneously offered much more space for music events, so besides DJs XT3 can now host small bands.

 

The XT3 Gallery offers a new exhibition of photographs or graphic art every month, often linked to music, travel and graffiti. In 2001 it opened an outdoor garden which is a nice place to sit on beautiful summer days.XT3 is not right in the centre of Prague. It is two stops by underground from Florenc, which allows it to retain a local atmosphere without masses of tourists.

 

KLUB XT3 dance
