A second night of deep-diving celebrations in honour of Contact turning two.

Two years after it first opened its doors and offered a fresh alternative to the clubbing landscape in Tokyo, Contact is celebrating its birthday with a weekend of music that captures the energy of the venue perfectly.

The primary focus of these parties will be to uphold the quality that has shaped out Contact since the beginning, inviting a select few artists and giving them extended sets for a deeper, more meaningful experience, supported by the consistent presence of the residents and locally rooted Contact family.

On the second night of the anniversary weekend, the Studio X floor will spread itself between techno and house music featuring a range of adventurous artists with strong legacies behind them.

DVS1 is perhaps the definitive modern US techno artist, presenting a driving, steely sound that aligns with the dominant Berlin pulse while equally carrying the torch for his roots in the American Midwest party scene. His selections on the night will no doubt contrast with those of Germany’s Move D, whose life in electronic music reaches back to the 90s via delicate electronica and subtle, refined deep house. Nowadays he’s just as likely to roll out warm, disco-infused tracks as much as mechanical experimentations, finding the soul at the heart of techno and house music and opening it up to the room. Representing the local scene is Yazi, a resident at the highly regarded techno night Konvektion.

The Contact floor will feature Kabuto, a former resident of Future Terror and Cabaret. You can expect left-leaning techno excursions from the respected Tokyo DJ, who will be joined by the new Qualia night founder Qmico as well as Sisi, a DJ guaranteed to create intoxicating experience that helped him make a household name as a Rainbow Disco Club resident.
