One should also check the releases from the labels Progressive Form, Sublime Records and Reel Musiq. Progressive Form does minimal house/techno, Sublime does everything from techno and house to chillout and hiphop stuff, and Reel Musiq does harder clubtechno. They release stuff from DJ Wada who is resident at Tokyo's Maniac Love club.

I just found out that there are some quite attracting parties (techno,jazzy house etc.) in a club called CLUB METRO in Kyoto..but now my next trouble is to find out where this club is (on the map,is there something famous near it etc.), how to get some tickets (from the door yes, but how about those advance tickets?), and if there is an age/other limit to the club? (Im 23)
So if anyone could help Id really upreciate it.
The people in this accommodation place dont know anything about it...
Also, are there any risks if I go to those clubs by myself, alone?

Just a little note about move.. they aren't dance/ house or trance anymore.. they have changed to a really, way less cool rock with a bit of techno sound.. almost sounds like nu-metal.. (they're best album imo was worlds of the mind) ☝

The psx game ghost in the shell has quality dance but its not house.If u can get the soundtrack you'l probably have a good list of djs.Is DaftPunk popular in japan? i love daft punk

check out leiji matsumoto's site: he's done videos for daft punk and turned the concept into a movie (afaict)
