Listening to this live stream (I know its horrible quality but just to give you an idea) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3_ow1m75Mg&feature=g-u-lsb and it "feels" amazing, like being enveloped in sound. What kind of headphone would be good for recreating that electronic music club feel? Note that there are also vocals in the music as well as the bass drops. Thanks for helping out a new head-fier :)
 
EDIT: I managed to record part of the beginning and uploaded it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-8rR6dLHb4&feature=youtu.be (a good example is from 33:20 to 37:20ish). Later on (I was unable to record it) they played Project 46 - Reasons http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYzxMAyrEEM and it sounded absolutely epic. Imagine that song played in this kind of atmosphere. That's what I'm kind of looking for.

Get good quality DJ headphones. Best will be Pioneer HDJ2000. Reloop RHP-20 (look at my profile avatar) is almost as good but roughly half the price. Other good ones are Shure SRH750 and Allen and Heath XD-53

Are you simply meaning the "reverb" effect, resulting from the audio being microphone recorded from such event? Headphones don't magically achieve that themselves..
 
But I think you should look for open headphones with "airy soundstage" and not some closed DJ ones like suggested above. Maybe even Hifimans.. I love listening live mixes with my HE-500's. Has the all the bass (with some eq boost) and open sound.

Closed ones, especially the DJ headphones give rumbling bass impacts with decent mids and highs but not so great soundstage. If by 'club sounds' means the heart pounding bass + vocals, DJ headphones are the way to go. Open ones do have airy soundstage but the bass impact (not bass quality) like in the nightclubs might not be there (depends on the open headphone itself, but mostly don't).

I updated the first post with a recording of the live stream, thanks for all opinions so far. I think hekeli has a point, the "soundstage" feel is pretty addicting, it's like the speakers are all around you and envelope you in the sound.
