Friday, Mar 22
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
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
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

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
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
