ZoukOut Singapore Nokia Remix is the spirit of the club taken to the outdoors for the third time, a magical experience created by Zouk that has received international media attention since the first installation in 2000. 

New Venue @ Marina Bay Waterfront

Just as Zouk evolves and grows, this year's ZoukOut Singapore Nokia Remix will be located on the fields of Marina Bay Waterfront, a never before used venue for such an event. Sited in the heart of mainland Singapore, the venue lauds the beauty of the Singapore skyscape and presents a  magnificent backdrop for a dance party in an urban setting. The manicured grassy field is ideal for a two-night party; with excellent drainage. Fronted on two sides by the bay , it presents a brilliant setting for dancing in trainers & chilling out on mats.

Two Day Event

To cater to an even wider spectrum of audiences, those who appreciate live vocalists and instruments, the first of the two-day event features live acts along-side djs in an exceptional concert setting under the stars. Day two will be the complete dance party experience from dusk till dawn as one would expect from the two previous ZoukOut parties.

Exclusive Arena for Regional DJs

For the first time in dance clubbing history, Australasia's DJs will finally get their own platform to perform at this year's exclusive 'Regional Arena'. Essentially, this initiative encapsulates what Zouk has been trying to achieve over the past 12 years, which is to develop the dance scene in this part of  the world. The Regional Arena at ZoukOut Singapore Nokia Remix will feature some of the regions best talents and cross various dance music genres.

These regional DJs include DJ Gabriel (KL, Malaysia), DJ Tommy (Hong Kong), Riri Rachman (Jakarta, Indonesia), Manolet Dario (Manila, Philippines), James Jan (Taipei, Taiwan), Grant Smillie (Melbourne, Australia), and hopefully Judy (Tokyo, Japan). Singapore will be represented by Gerald Ang, Keishi and DJ Rough.
