ENGAGE Vol.101 — eight Tokyo energy, no shortcuts. For Vol.101, ENGAGE lands in Japan with eight, a DJ known for long-form sets, proper groove control, and marathon-level dancefloor focus. From iconic Tokyo rooms like WOMB, VENT, ZERO, and ENTER, to multiple appearances at ULTRA JAPAN Resistance After Parties, eight has built his reputation by doing one thing really well: keeping the floor locked for hours. No rush, no gimmicks — just tension, release, and flow. His sound sits between techno-driven tech house and minimal, enriched with Afro and tribal percussion, Latin rhythms, deep basslines, and carefully placed vocals. Built for extended sets and immersive nights, this mix is all about momentum and consistency. Press play and stay in it. Tracklist 1. Tribaile – Marcos Barrios, Len Mora, Joaquin Pastigo 2.
