Friday, Mar 22

Ran Music Showcase Presents: Abby Echiverri

For their 2019 spring label showcase, Beijing-based label Ran Music have called upon the help of Abby Echiverri (pictured at top). Signed to The Bunker New York label, Echiverri is perhaps best known for her work as an audio engineer and has been called upon by the likes of New York dance heavyweights LCD Soundsystem and Soulwax to be their tour technician. Echiverri's beats bend a little darker but are no less danceable. HWA (AKA Elvis.T), Demone, and Kaize are also on the decks.

RMB 60. 10pm doors. Dada

Lantern Presents: Héctor Oaks

Madrid-born but a long-time fixture in Berlin's rave scene, Héctor Oaks' (AKA Cadency) productions "range from raw straight techno to jacking grooves," hitting the perfect balance between heavy techno and nuanced groove. Lanterners Mickey Zhang, Weng Weng, and Jackson Lee will warm up the crowd.

RMB 80, RMB 50 (advance). 10.30pm doors. Lantern

Soulciety Vol. 2 ft. Koco, Kuroda Daisuke, and V-Nutz

Zhao Dai ushers in the weekend with a night of funk, soul, and hip-hop courtesy of Japanese DJs Koco (AKA Shimokita) and Kuroda Daisuke. The crate-digging Fruity Group crew and Shanghai's V-Nutz are also onboard to let the good times roll.

Price TBA. 10pm doors. Zhao Dai

Saturday, Mar 23

Mina

Having gotten her gigging start in Leeds, UK, DJ Mina honed her craft in London via her show Boko! Boko! on Radar Radio. Now with two acclaimed EPs under her belt out on Lisbon-based label Enchufada, she comes to shine a little good time sunshine on Beijing with a night of afrobeat, dancehall, and UK funky.

RMB 60. 10pm doors. Dada

白羊座 Party

Aurora brings star signs to the nighttime with this Aries night, honoring the first sign of the zodiac. Known for their forthright, passionate, and impulsive temperaments, Aries can also be very self-centered and childish, which we can only guess how that'll go after a night of techno courtesy of DJs Panda, Sunk, Ou Yang, and Huang Weiwei.

Free. 10pm doors. Aurora
