...That stigma bothers entrepreneurs like Reiji, who seek a more mainstream image. To that end, he employs only fresh-scrubbed college grads like Fumiya, 26, a former radio DJ, and Noa, 25, who by day works in sales for a computer company. The $1 million interior of his Roppongi club purrs sophistication. Customers pay a flat fee of $30 an hour, including free wine?unless they want to impress their host by ordering the $10,000 bottle. The floor show is more high-school talent night than Chippendales. "We want women to feel it's safe, comfortable...
Make Cosmo Village at 29 Margrath Road your first stop. Boasting a full bar and food menu in an atmosphere advertised as "Living Room Dining," the club's cushy couches, dim lighting and lounge chairs provide a mellow start for the evening.

When the thumping beats of the house DJ start eliciting signs of a headache tomorrow, just step out the sliding door to the hotel's pool area where covered verandas offer padded bamboo benches and the cool caress of Bangalore's breezes. And thank the city planners for having the foresight to close the pubs early...
Timo Maas may be dance music's new Superman, but he seems perpetually stuck as Clark Kent. Polite, soft-spoken, and-dare we say it?-humble, he lacks any trace of the superstar-DJ mentality. Could this really be the man Britain's Mixmag magazine called "the biggest thing to hit dance music since the invention of legs?" But even if his down-to-earth personality doesn't befit a big-name DJ, his music certainly does. His most recent release, Music for the Maases, contains much of his groundbreaking work from the past several years, including releases under...
