Like a warm-up party for the summer music festival season, Taico Club takes place in early June at a mountain campsite in Nagano Prefecture that's usually given over to young parents and their kids. Though it's an all-night party, most people bring tents so they can grab a few hours' rest amidst the revelry.

Sunahara, Toro Y Moi, Zainichi Funk
Taico Club lost its star attraction when minimal techno doyen Ricardo Villalobos pulled out. While it's nominally a dance event – and DJs Takkyu Ishino, Daniel Bell and Simian Mobile Disco should keep it that way – some of the most intriguing acts on the bill this year are unlikely to inspire much ass-shaking, be it abstract electronica duo Cyclo or Icelandic post-rockers Mum.
