For aficionados of house music, the names Danny Krivit, Francois K and Joaquin “Joe” Claussell speak for themselves. For a decade from the late 90s, the New York trio headed up what became one of the world’s signature house music parties, and carried into the new millennium the legacy of house pioneers like Larry Levan. Many a Japanese clubber made the pilgrimage to worship at the font of house music in downtown Manhattan, and in recent years outdoor editions of Body & Soul have also provided an annual celebration for Tokyo’s beat-faithful.

Odaiba Aomi Open Air Seaside Court, July 24. See concert listings (popular) for details.
