China 1.0. Some party impressions and my first gig in beijing.
After spending two months in China I can quote that there is quite a vivid but hidden club and festival scene going on. Many underground Clubs and even some alternative music Festivals can be found.
My club journey all started by stumbling into a garage pop-up bar. I was just coming from an acupuncture treatment, feeling still dizzy and overwhelmed by the sudden Qi-Flow throughout my channels, I suddenly heard some quiet nice minimal tunes. I met who is an talented musician, producing experimental and industrial techno tunes. After talking to him and some guests in his garage i found out about some underground party venues like , abyss, exit_shanghai or cedar_kitchen.
My first stop was heim Shanghai , where i’ve got the pleasure to listen to ’s live set as well as the taiwan based DJ who made us dance. Following the (qi-)flow i ended up on a well organized underground festival at the see side, 3 hours South of Shanghai. I enjoyed some well designed stages as you can see in the vídeos , ravey electro vibes and furthermore got connected to withbar_Beijing. This is where i will play tonight. What a Great Closing up of my first part of traveling through china and i can already announce, there are more GiGs ahead. Tbc in my next post.
