Tokyo: Force of Nature, Chida, Monkey Timers

The rich quality and true spirit of Japan’s music scene is found on its ‘floors. That might sound obvious, but the restrictive laws placed on late night dancing means that when people gather in clubs, they truly need to make every moment count. This mentality affects the DJ as much as the dancer: it explains the rich lineage of house, funk and disco edits that has flooded out the country since the 80s. We’re having a Friday throwdown featuring some of Tokyo’s finest proponents: Monkey Timers, Chida and Force Of Nature – better known as local heroes KZA & DJ Kent.
