RE: (313) 313'ers in Tokyo? Techno recommendations?
Disk Union is wicked for new and 2nd hand stuff there 313 section is massive and very good, there are stores all over Tokyo but the one in Shibuya is by far the best an has a DB floor as well as floors for disco, techno, hip hop and Jazz... Lots of the techno stores seems to have shut the last time was there which is a shame... Also I would recommend the fish market and if you have time Kyoto is wicked, 2/3 or so hours on the bullet train from Tokyo -Original Message- From: Lori Draper [mailto:girly...@gmail.com] Sent: 27 October 2010 17:21 To: 313 Subject: (313) 313'ers in Tokyo?

Any 313ers have recommendations for other clubs/techno music resources in the city? I've checked out a club called Eleven and scouted the Tokyo Gig Guide, but wanted to hear back from those I trust the most... you guys.

Check out their blog - http://blog-shibuya-club.diskunion.net/Entry/1914/ I think they will have everything you're looking for in one stop. Clubs - I don't think there have been many techno things going on in Tokyo recently (I just got back 2 weeks ago from Tokyo).. Try having a look at Womb, Air (as far as I can make out they are still doing techno/ house) directory wise just Resident Advisor (http://www.residentadvisor.net/clubs.aspx?ai=27), or Sunnypages.jp sadly yellow is closed!

RE: (313) 313'ers in Tokyo? Techno recommendations?
I live in Nagoya, but been to Tokyo enough to know the place half decent. Clubs; Eleven is run by the same people as Yellow and in the same space - sadly been to neither as Yellow closed before I got here. Good clubs are Unit, Air not been to Module, Warehouse 702 but heard they're good. Then there is Womb, a huge club, sometimes great sometimes not so great, depends entirely on the night really and who is DJing. Record stores; definitely check out Shibuya, really good 'Banana Records' there, not too expensive as they deal in new used. synth shops; not sure whether this is relevant at all, but everytime I'm in Tokyo I make sure to call into www.echigoyamusic.com, this and a place called FiveG are crazy. Lined wall to wall with synths, fx etc... friendly staff, free to test the stuff out. Some (most) of the stuff is pricey but you can find some bargains now and again.
