The DMC Welcome Party — in association with Monkey Shoulder

Friday, October 10th 2025

Studio Freedom, Shibuya, Tokyo

For the DMC crew, the annual World Final Welcome Party feels like crossing the marathon finish line. After twelve months of planning, sweat, and dedication, the world’s greatest turntablists, DMC international branches, media, music industry leaders, partners, VIPs, and crew gather to kick off the most legendary DJ event on the planet.

Partnering with Monkey Shoulder has been one of the smartest moves in DMC history. Last year’s Paris Welcome Party was proof: flawless vibes, unbeatable music, and the perfect mix of people and drinks.

Studio Freedom, Tokyo

This year, Tokyo raises the bar. On Friday night, the celebration lands at the iconic Studio Freedom, Shibuya. While national champions sharpen their skills in the exclusive Humpter Practice Area, the stage will be set ablaze by:

• DJ Sarasa – Japan’s superstar selector

• DJ Question Mark – Taiwan’s finest

• DJ URI – India’s trailblazing pioneer

• Plus a very special Monkey Shoulder surprise set from DMC Team World Champion JFB

  
  

Expect the unexpected. Seeing is believing.
