KV2 Strikes Titanium

T

itanium Club opened its doors in early

December 2014 in Batam, which

is one of the largest islands within

the Riau archipelago of Indonesia. Batam

is also a popular holiday desti nati on for

Singaporeans as it is just a 40 minute ferry

ride from Singapore. The exchange rate

ensures that the Singapore dollar is stretched

to make eati ng, drinking and shopping in

Batam more cost eff ecti ve than back home.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Batam

with its abundance of seafood restaurants

and duty free shopping, also off ers variety

in the entertainment scene from pubs, live

performances, KTVs and dance clubs.

Muscling into the scene is Titanium Club,

opened by a group of young entrepreneurs.

The 900sqm club is able to handle a capacity

of 350 pax and is essenti ally a Dance Club

that is located within a shopping mall at

Harbour Bay. Jimmi Ho, one of the partners,

highlighted, “We expect Titanium to set a

standard in Batam and diff erenti ate itself

from the other clubs in the island. Premium

service, great ambience, experienced DJs and

of course, high performing sound and light is

what patrons can expect at the club.” With

Electronic Dance Music being the main genre,

the club att racts a young and energeti c

crowd.

The Look and Feel

The design theme at Titanium is that of

an industrial look thus the club features

bare walls, fl oors and ceiling. Some of the

walls have industrial pipes as part of the

decorati on and others feature LED strips.
