Undoubtedly this weekend’s most talked about event (partly due to the controversy stirred up by Islamist groups that are threatening to protest it this year), Djakarta Warehouse Project is finally ready to go off this Friday and Saturday. Billed as one of Asia’s biggest EDM festivals and featuring an all-star line-up of international heavy hitters including Marshmellow, Hardwell, Steve Aoki and Tiesto (as well as homegrown heroes including viral sensation Rich Chigga), this year’s DWP is the place to be this weekend for anybody in Jakarta or the region who considers themselves a true fan of electronic dance music.
