We’re teaming up with Berlin’s finest crew for a masterful dance marathon, Mala Junta.

This time, four artists will be coming to Japan: D.DAN, HYPERAKTIVIST, DJ TOOL, and YAZZUS. D.DAN returns for the first time since his memorable 2023 visit, coming back as a world-renowned techno DJ with an even more refined sound.

HYPERAKTIVIST makes her Japan debut; her hybrid sets blending South American roots with techno will undoubtedly shake up Tokyo’s current scene.

DJ TOOL, known for his signature sound of modernized 90s old-school trance, will be featuring in a must-see special B2B set.

YAZZUS returns since last year’s SLICK; we can’t wait to see how her signature high-energy, trancey sound explodes on the 4F.

The local lineup is equally impressive. On 1F, DAICHI WADA - the first Japanese DJ to play at both of Berlin’s prestigious parties Herrensauna and Mala Junta - will perform a special B2B set with DJ TOOL. Additionally, representing Tokyo’s iconic parties, Eichi Abe from Minna-no-kimochi, XINOVI from Butoh, and Teitei from Denki Bosatsu will perform.

2F features D.DAN and HYPERAKTIVIST alongside KILLIAN resident and regular Berghain player Mari Sakurai, plus YANNY, who’s preparing for an Asian tour.

On 4F, YAZZUS will be joined by 7E, MELEETIME, and MUNÉO from Tokyo’s leading queer parties SLICK and FETCH.

True to Mala Junta’s concept, it promises to be a special night full of energy that will “take people back to the early 90s rave era.”
