Outlook Festival 2012 Japan Launch Party

Croatia's Outlook Festival has claimed the mantle as Europe's premier celebration of dub and sound system culture, but we're still not entirely sure how it ended up getting its own warm-up party here in Tokyo. Whatever the reason, this launch event has swelled considerably in size from last year, moving from Eleven to bayside warehouse Tabloid and expanding to a two-day event. Head there on Saturday night for a bass-heavy brew of roots, ragga, dubstep and drum 'n' bass from a cast including Daddy Freddy, DJ Aki and the Part2Style Sound System. On Sunday, meanwhile, they'll be wheeling out guests including Solo Banton, Charlie P and veteran singer Horace Andy.
