Having originally occupied a building next to Sankaku Koen (Triangle Park) in Shinsaibashi’s Amerika-mura, this enduringly popular club moved to its current location in 2009 and received a comprehensive facelift in 2016. The three-storey space centres on a dancefloor with room for some 800 partiers, with a mezzanine above it and a VIP floor and rooftop terrace up top.
The programming is eclectic: hip-hop and reggae nights alternate with house and techno events, complemented by the occasional party dedicated entirely to anime music. Major international artists who have performed at Joule include Steve Aoki, Calvin Harris, Fatboy Slim, Paul Oakenfold and the Avalanches.
