This week’s Decoded Magazine Mix of the Week comes straight from Tokyo’s legendary Womb nightclub, where Drunken Kong tore up the dancefloor during the 10th anniversary of Intention, and yes, it’s just as banging as it sounds.
For those who don’t know, Drunken Kong is the powerhouse techno duo made up of D. Singh and DJ Kyoko. Based in Tokyo, these two have been crafting sleek, melodic, high-energy techno since around 2010. Singh has a background in audio engineering and cut his teeth in LA before linking up with Kyoko back in Japan. Since then, they’ve made serious waves on the global techno circuit, especially through their killer releases on Christian Smith’s Tronic label, including their albums The Signs Within and Where We Start.
The mix itself was recorded live at Womb, one of Tokyo’s most iconic clubs. If you know techno, then you already know Womb is the place. Since opening in 2000, it’s been a staple on the global club circuit, with a reputation for its monster sound system and next-level visuals. Everyone from Richie Hawtin to Jeff Mills, Sasha, and The Chemical Brothers have played there. It’s also a hub for Japan’s best underground talent, making it the perfect setting for a proper anniversary blowout like this one.
Drunken Kong’s set at Intention was full of deep grooves, hypnotic builds, and relentless energy, exactly what you’d expect from two artists who’ve made Womb their spiritual home. If you want a taste of Tokyo’s finest techno energy, this mix delivers.
