 ===== English version =====

Two clubs in Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok have been setting new benchmarks for investment in the Asian club scene.  We bring you the scoop on Glow and Zouk KL, two massive clubs for people who want a bit of cool to rub off.

GLOW NIGHTCLUB,
BANGKOK’S LEADING UNDERGROUND CLUB

In a city with a burgeoning nightlife, Bangkok’s Glow Nightclub stands out as the city’s leading underground venue.  The multi-level boutique nightclub boasts the biggest sound system on the block, and perhaps one of the best throughout the metropolitan area.

Glow is where Bangkok’s plugged-in expat crowd comes to mix and mingle on the dance floor with a first rate selection of fist-pumping, heart-pounding dance music.  Widely known for hosting a highly respectable lineup of both local and international DJs, Glow is similar to what clubbers might expect in Berlin, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Vegas and Manhattan

Spinning an energetic mix of the world’s best club music, the DJs provide an eclectic blend inclusive of house, funky, electro, tribal, and dubstep.  This isn’t a club where you’ll find commercial top-40, but rather music selected by well travelled, experienced global DJs.

The club’s stylish multi-level design gives those on the second level a voyeuristic view of the entire club including direct sight-lines into the DJ booth, the first floor bar and the stage showcasing regular entertainers.  The dedicated dance floor offers a unique space to dance throughout the night and late into the next morning.

With a maximum capacity of 250, this boutique underground club offers intimacy with friends amongst elegant daybeds and spectacular sounds sychronized with multi coloured led and laser lighting.

Guests can expect a wide selection of premium liquors, wines and cocktails served by Bangkok’s friendliest staff.  Its not uncommon for guest to strike up conversations with the
bartenders, waitstaff or even the entertainers.

Glow enhances the underground experience with entertaining theme parties that keep their guest coming back again and again.  Glow’s nightly DJs and themes are often posted on their Facebook page as well as several of Bangkok’s event websites.

Located a short distance from Bangkok’s famed Sukhumvit Road, Glow is  easily accessible from the Asoke BTS station and Soi 23.  Their website and Facebook page provide a map and directions which may be helpful for those new to the club.

ZOUK KUALA LUMPUR
THE LEGACY CONTINUES

Kuala Lumpur’s leading club has its roots in Singapore as much as Ibiza. Since Zouk KL’s March 2004 opening, it has become the nightspot of choice for the city’s clued-in crowd. It wasn’t hard to see why, with its purpose-built structure housing some of KL’s best rooms for dance music. This is a club built by clubbers for clubbers.

But even rooms outfitted with the world’s best equipment would be rendered useless without a
soul. Kuala Lumpur’s irrepressible party people, however, have ensured that this is far from the case. Since inception, Zouk KL has delivered an innovative and progressive clubbing environment, introducing Kuala Lumpur to the world not only the freshest dance music but the most varied and fun-packed atmosphere on offer.

Different themes and styles of music are played on different nights of the week to maintain the club’s aim to offer as diverse a music policy to KL’s discerning party crowd.

Retro music fans regularly pack the floor on Wednesdays for Mambo Jambo at Velvet Underground, an eclectic blend of 70’s, 80’s and 90’s pop music.

In Zouk room, Ghetto Heaven’s street style, hip-hop, R’n’B attracts the funky masses of B-boys and sexy ladies on Tuesdays, possibly the biggest midweek night in KL thus far.

Friday nights sees Twilight Actiongirls trashing out everything from electro, brit pop/rock to old skool favourites, providing the mass with an alternative pursue to their musical preferences in Barsonic.

Saturday nights at the Zouk complex are legendary. Resident DJs along with the occasional guest DJs have successfully paved the way to build a momentum of some of the most popular and packed nights in KL. The mainroom offering GLOBAL sounds from every corner of the world, while Phuture churns out the best FLAVA of POP tunes, Velvet Underground offers a heady mix of POP, RETRO while Barsonic is your ever friendly alternative indie tunes from LapSap & Co.

Zouk’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of music in KL remain as strong as ever as the worldwide phenomenon of dance music expands across Asia. Zouk represents the fashion, music, art and clubbing worlds with the philosophy of educating the mass. With this blueprint set by the mother company Zouk KL has gone on to forge an identity of its own without ever forgetting the roots and original philosophy – One World, One Tribe. One Dance.

Kuala Lumpur boasts a rapidly morphing cityscape: one that looks set to transform even more
with the addition of Zouk Kuala Lumpur to its repertoire of already hip dining joints and bars. With a total investment of RM16 million, Zouk Kuala Lumpur takes to the stage on Jalan Ampang in the heart of the Golden Triangle’s main strip of bars, with Five Stars hotels and clubs, and boasting an unbeatable view of the famous KLCC Twin Towers.

Rising like a phoenix above relics of the previous old Mississippi Slim Restaurant, an awe-inspiring Zouk KL surfaces on a total build up space of 30,000 square feet. Standing tall with two storeys, the club is divided into four sections: Zouk Mainroom, Phuture, Velvet Underground, Barsonic, Aristo, Roof Garden and Terrace Bar – each representing characteristic of different experiences for a large spectrum of music tastes and moods.

With an eclectic mix of energy, music and design, Zouk KL offers something to satisfy every taste, from the casual happy hour spent drinking at Terrace Bar for the Media set, to late night dancing at Zouk or Velvet Underground for the terminally hip.

The dome-shaped architecture, a modern mix of influences from Madrid to Malaysia, was incorporated into ZDR Architect’s conceptualization of Zouk Kuala Lumpur. Architecturally, this is a new look for KL, unprecedented. Zouk KL has a fresh, new and organic feel that bears semblance to the mothership club in Singapore but makes its own unique mark – which etches another step-up for the Zouk brand towards its perfect archetype, with its evolution of the Zouk ideal .

Designed as an iconic piece of architecture, the club’s exterior is clean and minimal, with no hard lines, possessing an almost Phillipe Starck like quality on its plaster-like façade, giving the building dynamism and freshness that is unique.
