Speedy j - electric deluxe

Great example of a track thats sounds okish through bedroom speakers but is absolutely devastating through a rig.

anything off loudboxer sounds great at home and you know its gonna rip it up in a club, that'd be my choice anyways

Because it wasn`t mastered properly.
Soundsystems are very forgiving, which is why you can play a reasonably shoddy live pa with hardware kit, which will sound great on the night, but if recorded on the night, will sound absolute turd in any other environment.

Club soundsystems are rarely engineered properly.
The crossovers and limiters are generally set generically and not to the type of music specific to each night (drum and bass rig engineering should be different to techno, and live band engineering etc).
Speaker matching, amp matching, accoustics blah blah blah blah.
Club soundsystems are rarely hi fi.
So there are no real rules for producing for a soundsystem (except maybe, don`t waste bass ebergy in the super lows, and some top frequencies can be unpleasant at high volume)
You are better off trusting your monitors and referencing to properly produced hi end commercial music that will translate everywhere.
