At this mega, two-clubs-in-one dancing destination, the clothes are skimpy, the music is chest-vibratingly loud and the crowd is glossed and lacquered. Remodeled last year, Axis/Radius is home to some of the swankiest upgrades in the Valley, with liquid nitrogen nozzles in the ceiling that fill the room with freezing fog and lowering the temperature 20 degrees in seconds; sleek chartreuse banquettes and white mod-style seats, a 20-foot-long DJ booth with state-of-the-art equipment, backed by a wall of LED panels that change colors psychedelically. And we love the VIP skyboxes made of LED glass that go for between $1,000 and $2,000 a night with bottle service. The club frequently hosts celebrity events with names like Dave Navarro and P. Diddy. Local Top 40 and dance DJs regularly share the bill with the likes of guests like DJ AM and Sander Kleinenberg.
