Shanghai: Where “hot Germanic techno love raining down all over you” happens.
A weekend of folk, fun, the end of summer, Detroit techno, Beijing dance rock, and a Brazilian takeover of the JZ Big Band.
Void are Nat Alexander and Cammy Wilson, aka Shanghai Ultra, both from the UK, who have been living in Shanghai for a long time. Learn about their experiences as promoters and DJs in Shanghai, as well as their least favorite place in the Shelter, after the jump.
Peter Scherr is back! DJs battle to reign supreme in China! All this and more…
I won’t recommend this event (see photo), as it constitutes French House music, which combines two of the more questionable elements of society that I am aware of, but I will direct your attention (Disgust? Uproarious laughter?) to its flyer. Congratulations, LOgO. If this was Oscar season you would have the inside track for the most ridiculous flyer of the year. Just a fantastic effort. And, without further ado (adieu?), on to the picks:
Last week our editor’s picks were in tune with my mood for music, and I followed the instructions provided by Mike “Big Duck” Brownell almost to the letter.
Some of my friends are sad that last weekend is over already and some others are happy it is finally over. Last weekend China was invaded by music, it’s been a non-stop music trip since Layabozi began its operations, and the ride is getting more intense every time. One would imagine after a year of this we would already be used to these “rush-hour” weeks of music, but still sometimes it’s overwhelming.
WARNING!: Canadian hardcore punk band Fucked Up is touring China with S.T.D. Get ready, use protection, do not trust these strangers, and think twice before getting too close to these dudes. This is an infectious mix of musical fluids that could definitely harm you for life. And they are on the way to Shanghai. Be worried.
