The New Asia Bar is one of the most exclusive club and night venues in town.
Singapore - Located with magnificent panoramic views, 71 floors up on top of the luxury Swissotel The Stamford in Singapore, the New Asia Bar is one of the most exclusive club and night venues in town.

Two years ago when it re-opened after a two-month renovation, the 500 capacity venue was kitted out with Robe ClubScan 250 CTs, ColorSpot 250 ATs and ColorWash 575 ATs, to add all the necessary glitter, glamour and excitement needed for guests to fully enjoy the ongoing top DJ line up, which includes regular international artists as well as slots by the best local talent.

The moving lights were specified by Steve Rawlings of Intelligent Lighting Design, and supplied by Louis Teo from Lighting & Sound Distribution (LSD), Robe's Singaporean distributor. New Asia's manager Steve Ignatiadis was also involved in formulating a brief for what he wanted to achieve and see in the lighting.

He comments, "I wanted a rig that gave all the flexibility and options and something that was as reliable as possible - always a major consideration for any club operator."

LSD also supplied Anolis ArcLink LED fittings for internally lighting the tables in the VIP area during the re-fit, which has proved a nice finishing touch, along with the existing Anolis ArcLine 36 RGB fixtures, which are used to illuminate the back walls both upstairs and downstairs.

Control for these architectural feature lights is linked into the Light Jockey controller system in the DJ booth, which controls all elements of the dancefloor rig.

A new super-customised DJ console will shortly be supplied and installed by LSD, and this will also include some Anolis ArcLink trimmings.
