WICKED 5TH ANNIVERSARY WITH RED AXES (4-HOUR SET)

Launched in 2021, Wicked now celebrates its 5th anniversary. Making their long-awaited Wicked debut for this milestone are Tel Aviv duo Red Axes, known for acclaimed releases on renowned labels including Dark Entries, !K7 Records, fabric, and Life And Death. Blending their distinctive psychedelic sensibility with influences from traditional music and post-punk, they have built a devoted following with a style that defies conventional dance music boundaries. Their four-hour journey promises rolling, tension-filled grooves that gradually build in intensity, drawing the dancefloor into a trance-like state.

Opening the night are Monkey Timers, leading figures in Japan’s disco and house scene, setting the tone for this special anniversary celebration.

On the 4F FLOOR, Sound Of Vast mainstay The People In Fog is joined by So, resident DJ and organizer of the one-of-a-kind outdoor festival The Labyrinth, who brings over 20 years of experience for a rare house set. Also making his Wicked debut is Imus, known for his distinctive spirituality and intelligent grooves that shift freely in mood and texture.

The 1F FLOOR features an equally impressive lineup. Amsterdam-based Mendel makes his long-awaited Japan debut. Having honed his craft in the local scene at legendary clubs such as De School, he has gone on to perform at major festivals and clubs across Europe, including Dekmantel Selectors, earning the trust of listeners and DJs around the world. His refined, organic selections and highly narrative approach behind the decks are not to be missed.

Joining him are Connor of Ready or Not and FULLHOUSE member r1ku for a Connor b2b r1ku set. Rounding out the floor is Nektar, a dance music crew consisting of five DJs from the same generation—AMANE, ANDY, Hayato, Sota Shimada, and Yoshitaka9—ready to take the dancefloor even deeper into the night.
