“Labyrinth is cool!”
“Did you go to the labyrinth not yet!?”
“Try once to go there. Because it’s really fun”
“The LABYRINTH is at year end and new year for me”
Those who like kind of such the club and dance music, in addition who like to be called techno, ambient and drone, who like a more “core, deep and dope underground”, it other words, despite the narrow and small world, pure and heat of hart who like that it is not to be disturbed by anyone sound, space, sanctum, and well-known only to those in the know.
It means hard-core dilettanti. Among they will be not able to talk enough about the rapture of this festival be called LABYRINCE, however they talk about that.
It no longer only dilettanti, it is sure that this is a major open-air festival.

In popular club portal site, that was selected to the prestigious No.1 of “Best Festival in September” by Resident Advisor.That is organized feature every year in music site “mnml ssgs” it Introduce sound deep and hard. Not only in Japan, it has been attracting from music fans around the world.
Tickets advance 2,500 sheets of limitation.It means popular that they sold out only 5 minutes from the sales start.It is sure that the number of participants from abroad is increasing every year and those who are participating in THE LABYRINCE from long ago has married, has children, to build a home, and they come there in the large family that often have such a scene.
I also one of them that many fans have become a prisoner of THE LABYRINTH. I have joined from the side river camp site in 2007. As I have participated every year, this year will be the 8tht years. I will report charm of THE LABYRINTH on this article with own subject.
It had held THE LABYRINTH from Sep. 19th to 21st.in 2015 during Golden Week. More people were coming from the first day.
I could spend special time with 14 people including my friends for three nights and four days this year. It would be able to leave to my memories really irreplaceable fun this year too.
In 2009, it moved THE LABYRINTH to NAEBA, It often has come in a large household. Along with it, became large-scale their belongings as well, to transport, tent, tarp food and various things. It is substantially determined the position that pitch a tent every year. That position is away from the main floor for more than 10 minutes.
Although we have arrived early and can pitch a tent near the main floor, we always set up it deep inside. There are several reasons why that it’s a large family would have the width of the tent and tarp. Our group would be the hindrance to another customer, because of connecting some the tent and tarp to make a circle like the village. One more reason, we can talk in a tent even while sound is ringing because the place is far from the main floor, and then we can fan the camp also. They can have fun listening to the big sounds like the echo in the mountain from far, shout for with joy of the people as BGM. It also is one of the ways to enjoy THE LABYRINTH.
One of the attraction, it is free to bring food and drink in THE LABYRINTH. As there is three nights four days, stalwart camper spends that prepare the food and liquor to surpass the catering. Of course, we also stocked up much food and drinks at a supermarket near NAEBA and TOKYO. There are three or four boxes every year. Everyone deepen expect and to double the pleasure that How can we cook an abundant ingredient? And have a lot of fun at THE LABYRINTH, etc.
I wish recommend coming to the labyrinth by car that goes to buy a variety in the supermarket. It’s shopping is also attraction of THE LABYRINTH along the way.
On by the way, I didn’t eat once catering of a labyrinth this year. I boarded by all cook for myself. When I think back on it now, I have a little bit regret because I want to eat with this and that.
About the floor, a little while ago as mentioned because it had hold on Golden Week, many people gathered and drink on the floor of “Sebastian Mullaert & Ulf Eriksson” on the first day.
They drink to THE LABYRINTH around.
It is one of the attractions that it is a reunion, a chance meeting and an encounter meeting.
“I wanted to meet you again!!”
“Are you・・・? Yes!! What are you doing here?”
“Yeah～!! I found you in this festival as well☆”
“Wow!! Have you get married? Are you sure?”
“Yeah～!! We are super happy. Welcome back to THE LABYRINTH”
“Love everyone and everything!!”
“Did you come here from OSAKA? I gonna treat you”
“Nice to meet you”
“Yeah～Cheers! Cheers!”
“Let’s have fun together this year too.”
It is positive and homey there. I don’t know why I was almost in tears. There were drinking the floor around. Of course, we had a reunion, a chance meeting and an encounter meeting.in 14 people in party. It was not stop to drink for three days
They agree with our drink “Sebastian Mullaert & Ulf Eriksson” I thought that little by little, it comes up from ambient music and drone but they showed us deep techno sound with the throttle full open. As the latter part of the party according as “Function One” is necessary for THE LABYRINTH to make for super sound that it also began to sound roaring. And I found out also to dance like crazy on the right side of the front speaker.
On official THE LABYRINTH, if you have time, please try to watch the LIVE set on the Sound Cloud.
After “Sebastian Mullaert & Ulf Eriksson”, next artist is ”Nuel”. They were the first time on this party. We had high expectations that they will show us what performance. As to meet expectations, it wouldn’t think opening day they showed the hard set to edgy. At intervals, they made like a soft space sometimes and we hit to the crown and then couldn’t leave from the speaker. We danced like crazy here too and became to really crazy.
In THE LABYRINTH they are dimly border with others. In a word neighbor is lovable partner. When I see the left, a person who is a total stranger suddenly gave me drink. When I see the right side, someone gave me a cigarette. “Thank you guys!!” and I also gave them drink. .”Cheers!!” and then we looked at each other and grinned and to point at the speaker and shouting, laughing and put their arms around each other’ shoulders.
Next, when the DJ made set such a deep and dark sea that there was nothing a hindrance, everyone repeated dance and drink. ”Nuel” showed us wonderful performance. After the second day, I had to contend with severe muscular pain.
In this sense, this two pairs are the best act for me this time.
Immediately, I lost almost consciousness and physical fitness but we were greatly to kick up a racket and finished the first day.
Continue to the second day・・・
