While rush-hour commuters head to work during the annular solar eclipse on Monday morning, a bunch of hardened clubbers will be savouring the moment at the climax of an all-night party at Ageha. Organised by the people behind Nagisa Music Festival – which until recently was a regular fixture on the Tokyo calendar – the event leans heavily on techno, with Detroit bastions Derrick May and Los Hermanos playing alongside local bigwigs Takkyu Ishino and DJ Nobu in the main room. You can also expect appearances from turntable ace DJ Krush, Cafe Del Mar founder José Padilla, jam band Dachambo and dozens of local DJs, plus dancers, aerial performers and – yes – some 100% natural lighting effects courtesy of the cosmos.
