Hype Sync Records H5R2 | Electronic Music Night in Tokyo 2026
About this event
What this is
H5R2 is the flagship event series from Hype Sync Records, a Tokyo-based electronic music collective known for pushing boundaries across the electronic music spectrum. For this edition, H5R2 expands to a full all-floors takeover of WOMB — one of Tokyo's most iconic and technically advanced nightclubs — marking the first time the event has occupied the entire venue. Across three floors, diverse DJs deliver techno, house, and tech house, each room carrying its own distinct atmosphere while remaining unified by H5R2's forward-thinking energy. This milestone event represents a significant step up for the collective and a landmark night for Tokyo's underground dance scene.
Who should go
This event is ideal for dedicated electronic music fans, club regulars, and anyone who wants to experience Tokyo's underground dance culture at its most immersive. The multi-floor format means you can drift between rooms and discover new sounds throughout the night, making it perfect for adventurous listeners as well as genre loyalists. International visitors who know WOMB by reputation will find this a rare opportunity to experience the full venue in one night. Arrive before midnight to avoid long queues and secure your advance ticket online to save ¥1,000 on the door price.
Good to know
Advance tickets are the best way to save money — look for links via Hype Sync Records' Instagram or eplus.jp, both of which accept foreign credit cards; if ordering physical tickets, convenience store pickup at Lawson is the most hassle-free option for visitors without a Japanese address. WOMB holds approximately 1,000 people across its four floors (three of which are activated for this event) and is a fully standing, dancing venue with a world-class sound system and one of Tokyo's most celebrated main floor laser rigs. The cloakroom (coat check) is strongly recommended — bags and jackets are typically required to be checked for larger items, and the fee is usually a few hundred yen. Doors typically open around 11 PM for midnight events; arriving within the first hour helps you avoid peak queue times and lets you explore all three floors before they fill up. WOMB enforces a strict no-photo/video policy on the main dance floor, so leave your camera at home and just enjoy the music.
