What this is
Formed in 1995, GMS are among the architects of psychedelic and full-on trance — and this is their Tokyo takeover at ZEROTOKYO in Shinjuku. Joining them is 1200 Micrograms, the legendary project featuring Raja Ram and Chicago, whose tracks have been staples of the global psytrance scene for decades. Resident DJs E.L.E, YAMATO, and AJ round out a two-room night built entirely around the harder, trippier end of electronic music.
Who should go
Psytrance heads and full-on trance fans who know these names will need no convincing. Curious clubbers open to high-energy, hypnotic electronic music will find this a solid introduction to the genre's heavyweights.
Good to know
Tickets are available at early bird (¥4,000) and advance (¥5,000) tiers — check eplus.jp or pia.jp, both of which accept foreign credit cards; convenience store pickup at Lawson is the most reliable option for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. ZEROTOKYO is a large underground club beneath Shinjuku with multiple rooms and a capacity of around 1,500; it is an all-standing venue with a bar and chill areas. Doors open at 23:00 and events typically run until 05:00 or later, so budget for a full night out. Cash is useful for drinks at the bar, though card payment is increasingly accepted. Arrive within the first hour to catch the full lineup across both rooms.
