The new party ARI FXXKIN GATO kicks off at Womb, the epicenter of Tokyo’s nightlife, bringing with it the unstoppable momentum of Tech House and Minimal Deep Tech that has taken Europe and the U.S. by storm. The name—playfully derived from the Japanese word “arigatou” (thank you)—carries a strong identity rooted in Japanese culture while being easy to remember and striking for international audiences. For the debut edition, special guest Bassel Darwish will fly in from Barcelona, Spain. A resident of Solid Grooves and head of Distance Music, he continues to release on some of the world’s top labels including Kaluki, Deeperfect, and Elrow, solidifying his place as one of the leading names in today’s global Tech House scene. Local support comes from Daitto, a rising Tech House producer who has released on Distance Music and has successfully curated acclaimed showcases like Pakate Tokyo and Reecords Showcase Tokyo. Joining him for a special back-to-back set are Clesent, known for consistent releases on both domestic and international labels and for supporting numerous international headliners, and Eight, an emerging talent making waves at major events across Tokyo’s top clubs. Opening the night is B, the founder of outdoor festival EARTH and house party "Buena", known for blending Latin vibes with the refined sensibilities unique to Japanese artists. Under the banner of ARI FXXKIN GATO, a new era begins—where Tokyo and the world collide on the dance floor.
