From Tokyo With Love: Kenji Takimi Lands At Honeycomb

7 Jan 2025

On January 17, 2025, The Sandy Times and Honeycomb Hi-Fi bring you a night that is so Tokyo, it hurts. Kenji Takimi 瀧見憲司, Japan’s legendary underground DJ and vinyl wizard, is spinning his dreamy, eclectic house and disco beats right in the heart of the city.

This isn’t just a party — it is an art performance, a cultural exchange, and a reason to cancel your morning plans next Saturday.

Where?

Honeycomb Hi-Fi: the ultimate Japan-inspired speakeasy where Izakaya dining meets vintage vinyl. Think killer cocktails (my forever choice is Nashiso highball), rooftop vibes, and a bespoke Ojas sound system paired with Chef Matt Abergel’s signature creations.

Who?

Kenji Takimi

Japan’s left-field house/disco pioneer, Rainbow Disco Club mainstay, and the man behind a 16,000-record collection, Kenji is the founder of the influential Crue-l Records, which has shaped Japanese alternative music for over two decades. Kenji’s eclectic, spacey sound and extensive record collection have earned him a place as one of the most important figures in the global underground music scene.

Kito Jempere

The Sandy Times’ Radio Art Director and a global DJ and producer with a career spanning over 20 years is setting the stage from 9 pm with a high-energy opening set.

When?

January 17

9 to 10:30 pm: Kito Jempere
10:30 pm to 3 am: Kenji Takimi

This isn’t just a night out; it is the most Japanese way to party in Dubai. So grab your crew, your dance shoes, and your best excuse for missing work the next day.
