gyrating and some experiences you'd rather forget come Monday. Check the

Friday, Apr 5
This Santander DJ
has lived in several of Europe's biggest club cities, honing his love
for electronic music and finding inspiration largely in '90s UK techno.
P.E.A.R.L. has also released works on essential techno labels such as
Warm Up, 47, PoleGroup, and Mord, landing in Beijing to give us a dose
of his signature heavy techno with deft ambient flourishes.
Price TBA. 10pm. Lantern
Support your
favorite local DJ at the showdown of Aurora's Music Family Evolution
this Friday. Four DJs will go head-to-head for the chance to win
themselves a bunch of prizes as well as a two-hour set warming up for
Roberto Traista when he plays the club on May 2. You never know, you may
just launch the career of Beijing's hottest new DJ. If you want to ease
into the night you can also head over early for a slap-up meal (scan/extract QR code above for more details).
RMB 50. 10pm. Aurora
Rave night returns
to Soi Baochao with DJs Gurak, Cortez, and Amon heading the decks for a
night of industrial and ambient sounds. To keep your eyeballs lubed and
loose, Katalist will be blasting visuals alongside.
Free. 10pm. Soi Baochao

Saturday, Apr 6
Jamaica-born, New
York-based DJ Tygapaw is building a strong following for her
queer-friendly parties, unique production style, and crowd-shaking
DJing. Expect smooth '90s R&B to mingle with everything from grime
to grunge for a style that she dubs "Sultry Club." If you aren't able to
catch her at Zhao Dai on Saturday, she'll also be doing a workshop and
showcase with a host of DJs come Sunday at Aurora.
Price TBA. 10pm. Zhao Dai
Finally, Organic
returns to Dada on Saturday with not just one guest DJ but three! On the
decks this time around is the UK's LUV*JAM, a staple in Ibiza and
Barcelona for many years as well as a stalwart at Bestival, one of the
UK's leading festivals; LA-based Chris Cruse, "whose sound is equally
influenced by dark warehouses and West Coast sunshine;" and Liad
Krispin, a resident DJ at Berlin's Cocktail d'Amore in Berlin. Expect
this one to go long and late.
Price TBA. 10pm doors. Dada
