Ai Nightclub emerged from a former mini-concert hall and is spearheaded by Taiwan's nightlife maven, Junior Lin. It is now the island’s largest nightclub and has continued to ascend over the past 18 months thanks to bookings including James Hype, VINAI, Will Sparks, and many more. Not only does Ai lead in terms of music in the region, but also with its design and technology, which are right at the cutting edge. In collaboration with Howard Liao Design, it offers up sleek modernity, along with innovative lighting in the form of a high-definition LED DJ booth, movable LED ceiling, and dynamic LED beams. DJ Junior, renowned on Asia's festival circuit and in places like Las Vegas, is a key resident, as is Lynne, a star of the prog and melodic scene. As of this year, the club is open five nights a week, allowing the time for an even broader palette of sounds.
