DJ Hell

Despite his pervy lounge-lizard persona, Germany's DJ Hell has somewhat of a workmanlike, meat-and-potatoes outlook to house and techno. The veteran's productions, and the music he releases on his International DeeJay Gigolos label, are generally big, muscular affairs; his DJ sets, though certainly filled with enough below-the-radar goodies to satisfy the underground fetishists, are apt to be inclusive enough for the occasional Frankie Goes to Hollywood track to work its way into the mix. The electroclash pioneer is always most in demand around Halloween, so we guess the slightly early scheduling of this Daikanyama date couldn't be helped – after all, Tokyo still unfortunately loses out to Berlin in cases like this. Just don't let that get your party spirits down on the night.
