ZOUK, no longer just a name that signifies a warehouse-turned-dance club in Singapore, has evolved into an international renowned clubbing institution. Say “Zouk” and the implication is of thousands of bodies writhing to one perfect rhythm, one perfect sound. 16 th of April in Asia was the release date of the club's 'Thinking Out Loud' compilation. On May 20th the rest of the World will get its hands on it.

In 1991, inspired by the Balearic sounds of the Mediterranean club scene, Zouk set out with just one dancefloor and slowly cultivated a following for its cutting edge music policy. By the mid-90s, Zouk had opened two rooms, Velvet Underground and Phuture, to accommodate dance music’s expanding sub-genres.

These days, a weekend at the club provides punters with everything from deep house to progressive house, minimal to electro, tech house to techno, funk & soul to nu jazz and broken beats, hip hop to breaks. It is an experience that has many a DJ applauding the Zouk experience, which in turn has led to Zouk’s rise in the international scene.

Known to locals to have defined the soundtrack for a generation, Zouk’s allure is its innovative and progressive clubbing environment, which top international publications such as DJ Magazine, IDJ, Mixmag, Muzik, The Face, Arena, Time Out, Wired, Time, Elle, Vogue and Wallpaper, have all continually ranked Zouk as one of the Best Clubs in the World. . .
