Relive The Magic of Electric Island Festival Guam 2016 [Photos]

/in , , /by

 

Guam is truly a paradise island, and its people are as welcoming, fun, energetic and loving as any you can find anywhere on our beautiful world. Less than two weeks ago, the people of Guam took part in the fourth annual installment of Electric Island Festival, a boutique electronic music event that for the first time in its history expanded to two days and took place at the Guam International Raceway.

This year’s EIF continued with its tradition of highlighting top-tier International talent from as far as Europe, mainland United States and nearby Asia, as well as showcasing several of Guam’s own home-bred artists. It did so while underscoring several of dance music’s most popular genres, including EDM, bass, house, techno, deep house and more, as well as welcoming the return of WOMB Tokyo as hosts of a dedicated stage.

EIF Lineup

The people of Guam responded en mass, with thousands attending the two-day celebration and joining the hundreds that traveled from afar to visit the island and attend EIF 2016. The sheer number of off-island visitors once again showcased the island of Guam’s power as a true destination for Music Tourism.

With EIF 2016 now behind, organizers are already looking forward to the 5 Year Anniversary celebration in store for next year! Ensure you follow EIF on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for updates on the upcoming 2017 edition.

Tokyo’s WOMB is set to re-open this coming weekend following an entire remodeling process that saw the mega-club closed for approximately a month.

The 1,000 capacity venue occupies four floors and is equipped with a state-of-the-art digital sound system and high-quality production value that sets it apart not only as one of the most sought-after party destinations of Japan, but of the entire Asian continent.

WOMB is known world over for hosting top-tier international names in techno, house and EDM while also giving space to emerging artists from Japan’s own vibrant dance music scene. Opened in the centre of Shibuya in 2000, WOMB has also hosted WOMB ADVENTURE since 2008, an indoor festival that attracts 10,000 attendees each edition. In the past few years WOMB has hosted esteemed names the caliber of Jamie Jones, Dixon, Loco Dice, Dubfire, Joseph Capriati and Nina Kraviz just to name a few. The club has also hosted its own stage at Guam’s Electric Island Festival in 2015 with a Japanese techno roster made up of Ken Ishii, Sugiurumn, Ko Kimura, Takkyu Ishino, and TECHRiDERS.

WOMBReopening

In true WOMB style, their grand re-opening celebration will take place over two separate nights. First, the return of their regular party “THE YES,” headlined by performances from both resident Shinichi Osawa and Tanaka Tomoyuki. Night two will see Cocoon master Sven VĂ€th play an open-to-close set as part of his 2016 World Tour, with a selection of locals in the smaller rooms.

WOMB has released a video highlighting the renovations that have taken place at the club:

Womb will be delivering an early Christmas present to the city of Tokyo this Saturday with special guests Loco Dice and Ben Klock both set to take on center stage. This is an absolute monster booking that further exemplifies the strength of Japan when it comes to quality electronic music. The show comes shortly after the recent announcement of RA’s 2014 Top 100 DJ Poll where both Ben Klock and Loco Dice placed 6th and 23rd respectively. This event marks the end of Ben Klock’s brief Asia tour where he is expected to hop on the plane after his set to play the 10 year anniversary of Berghain.
