Gorilla Fire is a party for the new generation, by the new generation, with the concept of "returning humans to the wild through fire and music. Doesn't this straightforward, physical message alone convey the appeal of this party?
The year before last, when it was held as an outdoor rave, and since last year, the location has been moved to BUCKLE KÔBÔ, an ironworks and art factory on Keihin Island in Tokyo's industrial district, where an even bigger flame will be kindled.
The party collective of CYK, who is active in the house scene both in Japan and abroad, and Kaitai Shinsho, whose secret party "Era" at a Shibuya location drew a lot of attention, will be the core of the lineup of DJs who are building Tokyo's "today's" DJ scene. JACKSON kaki and kenchan, two VJs, will color the 1st and 2nd floors.
The guests are ZEEMEN, who is the label owner of "HEXA Records" and active in Korea, ONJUICY, who is active in genre-less activities while focusing on grime and hip-hop, and Golpe Mortal, whose powerful sound sublimates influences from hardcore and black metal into industrial/techno. Golpe Mortal, who sublimates influences from hardcore and black metal into industrial/techno with a powerful sound.
The huge flame that completed the rave up to last year was converted into data and transferred to an artificial island. The flame, passed down from party to party, remembers the activities and is contagious. It burns with music and inconvenience as fuel.
The preface to the third edition of "Gorilla Fire," which spells it out like this, has only heightened my expectations. Let's forget about our daily routine and intentionally seek a moment to return to the wild.
