  • Richie Hawtin is once again set to headline Womb Adventure in Tokyo, this time delivering his visually enhanced live act as Plastikman. Along with Womb Cruise and Club Phazon, the 10,000-person party stems from Womb, one of Tokyo's most prominent mega clubs and frequent host to international house, techno and drum & bass artists. Hawtin and his Minus imprint have played an integral role in the festival so far, having headlined every year since the first edition in 2008. The 2010 edition will take place at its usual venue: the massive Makuhari Messe convention center in Chiba. Hawtin is joined on the program by big room pro Carl Craig, as well as fellow Minus mainstay Gaiser and Spanish minimal jock Paco Osuna. UK veteran Roni Size adds a drum & bass twist to the lineup, while Crookers brings some heavy electro house to the mix. Japanese acts Shinichi Osawa, Dexpistols and Masatoshi Uemura round off the bill. To get an idea of the atmosphere inside Womb Adventure, take a gander at our photos from last year's event.
