Gold Damage: Los Apson 20th Anniversary

Veterans of the Tokyo club scene might remember the Gold Damage party, founded by DJs Keiji Yamabe and Compuma together with artist Tomoo Gokita. After a ten-year absence from its original home, Ebisu's Liquidroom, Gold Damage returns to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Hatagaya's cult record shop Los Apson, managed by Yamabe himself. In addition to the above-mentioned trio, the lineup includes noise greats like Osaka duo Incapicitants and San Francisco's Rubber O Cement, with a little hard-hitting rap (Downshot Rig aka Dengaryu & Killer-Bong) and hardcore (Kirihito) mixed in for good measure. The party continues upstairs at Liquid Loft, where Compuma will be manning the controls. Musical omnivores should find this one too good to pass up on.
