Groundrhythm

Now in its 13th year, Kaoru Inoue's Groundrhythm party has kept Tokyo clubbers well fed on techno, house, electro and everything in between. The latest edition of this well-supported regular night sees Inoue himself joined by the globetrotting Kaito (aka Hiroshi Watanabe), Japan's only representative on minimal super-label Kompakt and a former regular at '90s New York clubs like Tunnel and Twilo. Expect full-on beat domination of the main floor from the star duo, while the ground-floor Good Mellows Lounge is where to take a break and catch chill tunes courtesy of Toru Hashimoto (the DJ, not the politician).
