Any review of the Singapore club scene should begin with Zouk (17, Jiak Kim Street, 7382988). This hugely popular club, which
has been compared with some of the best in Europe, plays mainly
House music to a mostly young crowd. Zouk's music is spun by its
seven resident DJs, while regular live acts from visiting artistes
- such as Galliano, Chemical Brothers, Heart and Kylie Minogue
-- are an added draw. Wednesday is Mambo Jambo night, when the
club shakes off its techno garb and plays a mix of 70s to 90s
pop.
For those with an aversion to heavy Techno, the Zouk establishment
also houses Velvet Underground, where the crowd is slightly
older and the music is mainly Soul and Garage. The mood here is
sophisticated and futuristic: the walls are adorned in velvet
and hung with original modern art works, and the furniture has
a Bauhaus feel.
Adjoining the Zouk main building is Phuture, where the
music is a more eclectic mixture of Trip Hop, Drum 'n' Bass and
Down Tempo. The décor is a futuristic, space-agey blend of steel,
liquids-in-glass-vials and state-of-the-art lighting.
As the real action at Zouk and its sister discos doesn't begin
until midnight, the popular place to hang out in the meantime
between dinner and dance is Zouk Wine Bar. This stylish
bar is a great place for people-watching.
