Zouk (club)

The three old warehouses that make up the original Zouk were built in 1919 by the Singapore River, on present-day Jiak Kim Road, housing three interconnected clubs:

• Zouk (1991), with a large dancefloor and sound and lighting, catering to a variety of artists.
• Velvet Underground (1994), a quieter, more relaxed lounge that plays house and soul.
• Phuture (1996), a more avant-garde bar specialising in broken beats and hip hop/R&B.

In December 2016, Zouk Singapore moved to its new premise at Clarke Quay, Singapore's entertainment epicentre. Housed in a revamped warehouse, the new space retained its multi-room concept with three club outlets and a bar:

• Zouk, the largest club in the complex with a capacity of over 1,500, the main Zouk room regularly hosts international guest DJs, ‘live’ performances, and other events. The club is decked out with a customised Gary Stewart analog sound system, state-of-the-art lighting, and multi-level dance floor.[4]
• Phuture, an underground-esque club outlet for hip-hop and R&B lovers. The outlet is aerodynamic design, playful furniture, funky LED backed bars, a circular dance floor and characterised by graffiti murals by Singaporean artist, Jahan Loh.[5]
• Capital, a dual lounge and club space aimed at older audiences with open format music nights. The club is adorned with a mesmerizing ceiling art designed by Tetsuya Toshima, a neon piece by Singaporean artist Dawn Ng, and geometric LED glow ceiling on the dance floor by LEDSCONTROL.[6]
• Queens, a hip-hop inspired cocktail bar inspired by the New York borough.[7]
• RedTail, a social gaming bar catered for pre-party and post-work hangouts located right behind Zouk.[8]

In 2004, Zouk opened a sister club at Jalan Ampang in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Zouk KL remains privately owned and independently managed while being an official brand affiliate of Zouk and its “sister club”.[9] Zouk KL features four rooms: Zouk and Velvet Underground styled on the original, plus the Loft and Terrace bars. It relocated to KL's prominent nightlife area in TREC situated in Tun Razak Exchange in 2015.[10] The new club has 8 distinct rooms:
