the tunnel |
This was a secret(private) party at the tunnel!! Its happened on mid of June, at somewhere in Tokyo. To find the place, it's quite hard... There was no sure its right way or not, just follow the small map on flyer, drive on the under construction road inside mountain with rainning... But on the other hand, it's very nice adventure! and that's part of the party. When we got there(well done!!) it was still raining but no care about rainning and it was nice sound actually, because of inside tunnel! How cool idea they have!
The organizer Primitive made their first party at this tunnel 2001, and since then they organised some party not only for private, also for more party lovers. Last year at the party ''manatsu no Primitive'' (''Primitive in the summer''on Aug), 700people gathered for their summer time. Anyway they make pleasure of a happy family with people at party. also check about PREHISTORIC.
Dj : Aki (Primitive), Ita (Pri-), Kon (Pri-), Planet Dada(Pri-), Yuhei (Babyloribe), 3M (Pri-)

LABYRINTH (11-13 of July 2003)
So... this was the party which i was longing to partisipate for 2years(i wasnt in japan and had to miss 2times...), really!! LABYRINTH is organized by Mindgames (for trance stage) since 2001 and Dakini Records (for ambient stage) on 2003. About 2000people came to Nalamata Camp Area (Minakami-cho, Gunma. it takes 3hours from Tokyo) on 11-13 July. Whole atmothphere were very peaceful and covered with nice peoples. Naturally decoration made us feel tender. Yes, Labyrinth organize coherent musical with not only artists and deco, also with all of us. People were smiling to see friends and had great time each other. i saw new friends at here and i saw many friends since 2years, beautiful time. Everybody(also artists!) enjoy their dancing at the dance floor, with super cool soundsystem! (Funktion one + Turbosound Hybrid System).

BOM ODORI 2003 (23-24 of August 2003)
|
What's a hot day it was! Really summer day!! On 23rd of Aug, 1000people found their way to Ohtaki (Chiba-ken, by car it takes a couple of hours from Tokyo) for BOM ODORI 2003 organized by Trance Cafe. Trance Cafe, they start making party since 1999, in earnest. Developing year by year and keep high quality. As privately, i was also interested in the live of Paste. I have never seen their live before and also for them it was first live set in Japan. Must be too hot to play for them! But Patrick and Stefan played live set + dj set from morning to afternoon, nearly 7hours!! He kept ice (it was. but must be changed to water in soon) on his head. And staff brought big tank of water for all and watering each other at the dance floor, caz we need it! it was also so fun! Otsukare-!! (try to say this word, when you feel thanks for their performance)

| (^o^)y-~~~ Bom''Bon'' has variety of meaning. here it usually means the Buddhist all Souls' day in japanese (Bon-holiday on August). And ''Odori'' means dancing. We have ''Bon Odori'' at ''Bon-Matsuti''(Bon-festival) in summer time in whole japan. Bon Odori = ''Dancing on the Bon Festival'' = ''let's dance and have a party, Bom!" So everbody enjoy BOM ODORI! Would you get it what i mean? |
PREHISTORIC's New Year Party (2004@ CLUB Voice Tokyo)
PREHISTORIC is collaborated by Primitive(organizer) and friends, for more people can enjoy their party, started from this party. There were some new year parties around Tokyo and here was also full packed with dancing people at this club, even this was the first party as PREHISTORIC. We were surprised by Tonio's first live set, with pumping beats. We had to recognize his great talent! And according to voices of old audiences(not about age!) Yamabikaya is always something new and getting more cool year by year. Let's see what's next!!
