MYSOVA vs Resident Advisor
Resident Advisor — Electronic-music event listings + ticketing. Visit Resident Advisor ↗
Short answer
Resident Advisor (RA) is the canonical electronic-music listings and ticketing site, scoped to club nights with a DJ line-up. MYSOVA is broader — every London venue, gamified, with reviews, ranks, Paths, and Live Loyalty across pubs, bars, members' rooms, and clubs. RA sells the night. MYSOVA scores it. Launches 12 June 2026.
What MYSOVA does that RA does not
RA is the world's best electronic-music event index: line-ups, ticketing, magazine, club guides. If you are looking for a Sub Club, fabric, or Phonox line-up tonight, RA is the source of truth. MYSOVA does not duplicate that — and does not try to. MYSOVA covers the broader nightlife surface: cocktail bars, pubs, members' rooms, late-night and early-evening venues across the 17 zones. Server-attributed XP, 99 levels, same-venue / same-night Paths, SVS dwell-time reviews, Live Loyalty perks. RA has no venue-density map, no rank ladder, no Phantom Mode, no XP receipt. The two stacks are complementary for anyone who goes out across both club nights and bar nights.

FAQ
- Is MYSOVA an RA competitor?
- No. RA is an electronic-music event index and ticketing platform. MYSOVA is a check-in, gamification, ranking, and live-loyalty layer over London's whole nightlife surface — bars, pubs, members' rooms, clubs across all genres. The products do different jobs.
- Does MYSOVA cover electronic-music clubs?
- Yes. fabric, Phonox, Corsica Studios, FOLD, The Cause, and the broader Vauxhall / Shoreditch / Dalston club circuit are on the venue map. The product makes no genre distinction — every licensed nightlife venue earns XP for check-in, can submit SVS reviews, and can run Live Loyalty.
- Will MYSOVA show DJ line-ups?
- Not at launch. Line-ups are the heart of RA's product and would be a redundant duplication of an excellent existing index. MYSOVA's surface stays venue-led, not event-led.
- Does RA have a rank ladder or XP system?
- No. RA does not run a server-attributed XP system or a rank ladder. It is an event index with a magazine and a ticketing layer.
- Where does MYSOVA fit if I already use RA every weekend?
- Add MYSOVA to lock your handle, claim a position in The Hundred, and start banking XP receipts plus Live Loyalty Rewards on the same nights you are already buying RA tickets for. Zero behaviour change required.
- Are RA-ticketed clubs in the Marquee tier?
- Many premium electronic-music clubs sit in the Marquee tier (29 venues). Tier reflects operator engagement with venue-side tools (Boost, Live Loyalty), not genre. Both Marquee and Partner tiers cover the broader club circuit.
