Zouk Singapore

The Definite Club to Visit When in Singapore

A Brief History of Zouk Singapore

Walk by Zouk Singapore today, and you will see a dance club with fans bobbing their heads to groovy beats and dancing to spinning tunes. Turn the clock back to the year 1919 and what you see instead are three old warehouses built along the Singapore River.

After a major renovation and facelift in 1991, the houses were being converted into three interconnected clubs within its premises. The club name, Zouk was derived from the French word for 'party' and it is no surprise when all you can expect from this place is to party all night through!

Zouk

Built in 1991 as the main dance floor, it is the largest and probably the most upbeat of all the stations.

Open Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Velvet Underground

Velvet underground was built at a later stage in 1994. It is a quieter and more relaxed lounge, which plays house and soul tunes, catering mostly to those of class and sophistication. Velvet Underground in itself is further divided into two arenas - one with softer music and the other, which is slightly more upbeat. The soft warm lighting and red velvety color that fills the interior complements the soulful sounds of lounge, chill and vocal house to make this simply ideal for chilling out. Open Wednesdays to Saturdays.

Phuture

Phuture was born in 1996 specializing in broken beats, and is usually jam-packed with fast music lovers and frantic dancers. If you love to dance, this is the place for you! Phuture goes to the beats of house, trance and techno music that keeps you shaking to the beat! Open Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
