Chaos @ Womb on Monday

Fumiya Tanaka held his Chaos party at Womb in Shibuya last night, Monday, September 22nd. Aside from Fumiya himself, the infamous Zip (Perlon Records) was also in the house. The two of them played records at Womb until 5:00am, then went to club Module for an afterhours that started at 5:30. I couldn't make it to the afterhours because I had a basketball game today, but my boy Amr did, he said they took turns spinning records until 1:00pm. Monsters! Here are some pics and vids I took at Womb, as you can see the laser lighting system they have is straight up ridiculous.
