Hype surrounding the launch of the Ministry of Sounds outpost in Malaysia had begun months prior to its opening, such was the anticipation of having a new international status club on these shores. Then came details of the location – Sunway.

Out in the ‘burbs, that would mean no club/bar hopping and presumably a Subang and PJ crowd. Taking the party out of town and expanding the club scene beyond the city limits is definitely commendable, but it was clear that Euphoria would have to have big things lined up to compete with the draw of the big city lights and on special nights they certainly hit that mark.

Opened on 26 June 2008, and unveiled to the public on July 2, Euphoria is designed by an international team. Panning out in a circular form that can accommodates up to 1000 people across 2 floors, and has access to a mezzanine area and private suites there’ll be a whole lotta partying to be done. The twin-scene layout is further complemented by 2 state-of-the-art vibrating dance floors and 7 days a week lineup, guarantees punters a choice of music with plenty of bounce. The Deq with its outdoor lounge area, accommodates another 500 and provides an early evening Balearic vibe. 

Apart from its location, Euphoria’s talking point has been its non-smoking status. A bold move on the part of club management, JUICE relishes the possibility of going home with our eyeballs intact and our hair not smelling of fag ends. With the smoking room, which accommodate around 20s described by a random punter as a ‘hell room’ it won’t be long ’til smokers come around. And provided the cost of fuel doesn’t go up, you might not be able to hold back die -hard city slickers either. It is definitely worth the trek. J
