Mar 16: Aurora Halal
Aurora Halal pretty much does it all. The New York-based musician is also an event producer, visual artist and video maker. But her resume doesn't end there. She's the creator of NYC’s underground party series Mutual Dreaming and co-creator of Sustain-Release, a music and arts festival in New York. Say Yes is debuting their latest collaboration series with a launch party at Dada featuring none other than Aurora Halal.
Thurs Mar 16; Dada.
Mar 17: St. Patrick’s Day
Beijing loves an excuse to drink beer – and man, is St. Patrick’s Day an excuse to drink beer. But what makes this St. Paddy’s Day especially exciting is that it falls on a Friday this year, which means you have the entire weekend to nurse that hangover. This year’s celebrations include beer, music and combinations of beer and music. Check out our full, updated guide on what to do this St. Paddy’s Day.
Mar 17: Francois K
French DJ, producer, label owner and bonafide boss Francois K started out at legendary New York clubs Paradise Garage and Studio 54. He has since become one of the most important names in house music. If you like house and you haven’t heard of him, then do your research (and go to Dada). His show also marks the return of Eddie Lv, a former stalwart of Beijing nightlife.
Fri Mar 17; Price TBD; Dada, see event listing.
Mar 17: Ping Pong Discoteque
If you’re looking for something to do this St. Patrick's Day other than drinking pints of Guinness and wearing green (you’re not even Irish), check out Migas’ Ping Pong Discoteque party. The PPD combines Migas’ The Ping Pong Social Club from Wednesday nights with a weekend dance party. Be thankful there’s one bar in Beijing that still has a pong table by playing a round while listening to the DJs do their thing. Green clothes optional.
Fri Mar 17, 10pm-late; The Bar at Migas, see event listing.
Mar 17: Antenes
Electronics artist, DJ and producer Antenes will be landing at Lantern on Friday. The Brooklyn-based artist is best known for her one-of-a-kind sound that largely stems from her self-made sequencers and modular synthesizers. Her techno beats are definitely otherworldy... and we mean that in the best of ways.
Fri Mar 17, 10pm. RMB80 (door), RMB50 (advance). Lantern, see event listing.
Mar 18: Soul Party Vol. 2

And starting at 4pm you can dance to beats courtesy of DJs Cad73 and Jay 1,2.
