What’s a "TOP BEAT CLUB"

What is Top Beat Club?

What kind of facility is "TOP BEAT CLUB"?

It may be slightly different from the feeling of "live house".

A music culture complex with a café on the first floor, a live space on the first basement floor, and a record shop on the second floor.

The main underground live space "TOP BEAT CLUB" is a medium-sized space, and it is a combination of high-spec parts that correspond to the modern environment, such as public institution air conditioning equipment and barrier-free measures, and a real old vintage texture. It's a space.

It has an arch-shaped brick interior similar to the historic Liverpool club in England, the Cavern Club. It also improves the quality of the unprocessed sound.

Basement 1st floor live space

The first basement floor of the building has been specially designed for the live space from the construction stage, so it has a high soundproofing effect. It is The building itself is designed with a wall-type reinforced concrete structure, and is built using a construction method that is also excellent in earthquake resistance.

The height of the live stage is 70 cm, and the floor of the audience seats is raised one step at the center, making it easy to see the stage from behind.

arch brick interior

The best point of TOP BEAT CLUB is the brick interior. Like the historic Live House in England, the Cavern Club in Liverpool, it has an arched brick interior and a special interior design that does not interfere with the arched ceiling where air conditioning and wiring equipment are integrated behind the ceiling.

sound system

High-quality sound is essential to realize the "new vintage" live space that TOP BEAT CLUB advocates. Therefore, we plan to install a sound system that can be used by switching between digital and analog. Since it can handle both modern stereo sound and old monaural sound, it is a sound system that can be used by artists of various genres.

stage equipment

In addition to regular equipment, rare vintage amps, drums, microphones, etc. are also permanently installed to improve the quality of the raw sound of the instruments themselves. With a selection that arouses curiosity, we aim to create a "selectable sound" that pleases both the artist and the audience.

Consideration for performers

For performing artists, one of the issues is the efficiency of loading and unloading work such as equipment.
The backyard was designed with efficiency in carrying in and out so that there is no stress when carrying in and storing important musical instruments. There is also a dedicated parking lot for equipment vehicles.

Spatial measures

Due to the impact of the new coronavirus, we understand that the importance of spatial measures in the special environment of the underground live space is clearly higher than before.

When we first considered the air environment, which should be safe and secure, we needed to change the design of the system to one that had more leeway than the initial design. This time, with the understanding and cooperation of the building owner, we basically installed large equipment in the building with nearly twice the functions of the air conditioning and ventilation systems that are designed in a normal live house. I was able to get it. A space system equivalent to that of public institutions has been adopted, and special consideration has been given, such as installing air conditioning ducts on both walls of the hall.

The first floor, which serves as the reception and café area, was originally designed to be surrounded by walls. Considering the ventilation problem, we removed the entire side wall and changed the structure to install a sliding door, which is also advantageous in terms of ventilation. By opening the sliding door, it became easier to take in outdoor air, which was advantageous in securing space for customers waiting before the performance started.

Crime prevention and disaster prevention measures

The latest crime prevention and disaster prevention equipment such as sensors and cameras have been introduced, and security measures are taken by a security company 24 hours a day. The state-of-the-art emergency broadcasting system is also installed, and in the unlikely event of a disaster, we have secured a conductor that allows smooth evacuation guidance.

Barrier-free measures

The venue is designed to be barrier-free so that people with physical disabilities, such as those using wheelchairs, can visit the venue smoothly. There is also a disabled toilet in the building.
