Welcome to the most international community of clubbers in Tokyo! If you're new to the land of the rising sun, don't worry—we've got you covered. All our staff speak English, and so do a lot of people at this party! Don't sleep away your time in Japan. Come and taste the absolute best in clubbing this country has to offer!

Our overseas act this time is a very special artist with releases out from HOMmega, Spin Twist, Vandit, WAO138, and a slew of other top labels. He is the force of nature known as... Eddie Bitar. Eddie started making global waves with his hit single "Drift" in 2011, featuring vocals from the seraphic Jennifer Rene. Burgeoning support for the "Bitar sound" spurred Paul van Dyk himself to reach out, signing him to Vandit, which culminated in the release of the "Beirut" and "Red Room" EP. Since then, Eddie has amassed an even larger following in all walks of trance. From tech to psy to uplifting—this is a man who knows no boundaries. Continuously redefining his groove, evolving, and ascending, this supernova of modern trance is set to explode in Tokyo for the first time ever. Don't miss it.

We also have Takuya Yamashita (Cadenza, Outpost Recordings) coming all the way from Hokkaido to unleash a special live set. His tracks have garnered support from the likes of techno legends Funk D'Void, Luciano, and more. Expect nothing short of a jaw-dropping musical experience.

Also, representing the Shibuya underground hotspot White Space Lab will be Akiko Iwahara, in addition to the in-demand DJ maestros Takayuki Kamekawa and Kazuya Tanimoto. And to the early-comers, expect a very special psybient set from Sinister Dexter to kick off at 10 p.m.!
