Frankfurt’s Cocoon Club is one of the planet’s legendary nightspots, and like a number of clubs (and associated labels) it’s now marketing its brand worldwide. Tokyo has raised its hands in the air for a number of Cocoon-themed events in recent years, the latest of which is the Cocoon Heroes series at Ageha. Helming next weekend’s installment are Frank Lorber, Dominik Eulberg and DJ W!ld. With 20 years behind the decks and a close partnership with Cocoon mastermind Sven Vath, Lorber is one of Germany’s techno greats. Young DJ Dominik Eulberg is known for bringing sounds of the great outdoors to bedroom productions like his highly rated Flora and Fauna (when not behind the decks he works as a park ranger). One of the latest Cocoon signings, French DJ W!ld gives a sensual, European twist to techno and is set this year to unleash his sophomore album, D!rty.
