The foreign-run Eggworm has pulled off a real coup in Tokyo by organizing the first all-day/all-night dance-music festival in the capital.

In a city notorious for its closed entertainment companies, Audio Tokyo will hopefully be the first of many independent events that allow the dance scene to evolve and thrive.

"We are looking to create a real dance music festival, like the ones taking place in Europe that cater to people that want to go there during the day, and then go on all night," says Nick Clarke, a co-director at Eggworm who'll be performing under his moniker Groove Patrol at the event.
