What started as a temporary pop-up club in 2018 has now transformed into one of the city’s most prominent nightlife venues in TUFF CLUB. Housed in the heart of the CBD on the 19th floor of an office-dominated building, the spacious venue boasts state-of-the-art sound, a custom lighting system, and an underground-overground clubbing experience that’s hard to rival - with worldwide acclaimed international artists gracing its purple and orange trademark dancefloors every week.

 

From House to D&B/Jungle, UKG to Techno - TUFF (named cheekily after the extra-curricular fitness club in tertiary education schools) has played host to the likes of Marcel Dettman, Dax J, Roman Flugel, Joyhauser, Paco Osuna and more, while also featuring takeovers and collaborations from the island’s many party collectives.

 

Recently undergoing a long-awaited refresh in September 2024, the club now boasts a Funktion-One set, distinctively cladded in its signature cabinets and white axehead drivers that are synonymous with cutting edge clubs around the world, used in venues such as Berghain (Berlin), Jaeger (Oslo), Marquee (New York), D-Edge (São Paulo), De School (Amsterdam), and Pawnshop (Taipei).

 

The space also possesses a web-like lighting system that mirrors its music, and an elevated console for the DJ. Its iconic rooftop overlooks the CBD’s skyline, and is connected closeby to its long-winding passageway that invites punters straight out its elevators right onto the dome dancefloor. Beyond its juxtaposed venue among office buildings, the space is also a restaurant in the daytime and transforms into the club at night - a testament to Thugshop’s creativity in turning spaces into valuable and important nightlife establishments.
