Mar 22: Pop Punch @ Mesh
Congratulations: We’ve now reached the point in history in which the early 2000s can be properly considered ‘throwback.’ This is cause for celebration, and that’s exactly what Mesh is doing – with Thursday nights dedicated to the pop hits of the late 90s and early 00s. What’s more, from 7-9pm, dangerously delicious punch bowls are buy-one-get-one – if that doesn’t make you feel like a Spice Girl, we don’t know what will.
Thursdays, 7pm-1am; Mesh.
Mar 23: Egyptian Lover
A pioneer of West Coast hip-hop and electro rap, Los Angeles rapper and producer Egyptian Lover will be stopping off at Dada. The artist rose to fame in the early 80s, paving the way for West Coast rappers that came after (think Dr Dre and Eazy E). A lot has changed since then – but Egyptian Lover still records entirely on analog equipment.
Fri Mar 23, tickets TBD; Dada, see event listing.
Mar 23: D-Unity
Hailing from Canada, D-Unity has worked his way up the techno ladder. He's performed at some of the world's most prestigious clubs, from Womb (Japan) to Pacha (US) to Clash Club (Brazil) and collaborated with the likes of Usher, Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull. Expect an excellent set of tech-house beats with a touch of ethnic influences. Support by Eva Xu, OSHI, Weng Weng and more. This one's going to go till the wee hours.
Fri Mar 23, 10.30-8am; RMB80 (door), RMB50 (presale). Lantern, see event listing.
Mar 24: DJ Lag
The South African DJ first performed in Beijing back in 2016. Since then, he's been busy bringing his gqom music to cities, clubs and festivals around the world. He'll be back at Dada this weekend for a highly danceable set.
Sat Mar 24, 10pm-late; RMB60. Dada, see event listing.
Mar 28: Zedd
Think you don’t know Zedd? Think again – the DJ’s hits have charted the world over. Surely you’ve heard ‘Break Free,’ his collab with Ariana Grande. Or perhaps you’ve heard ‘Clarity,’ his track with British singer Foxes that won him a Grammy for Best Dance Recording. And you’ve definitely heard ‘Stay,’ featuring Alessia Cara, the single that lingered on the Billboard Hot 100 for weeks of 2017. And then there’s ‘The Middle,’ which debuted at last month’s Super Bowl and has been on Spotify’s Top Hits chart ever since. Maybe you actually haven’t heard any of these. And maybe that doesn’t matter. Because what does matter is that Zedd’s show at Sir Teen is going to be certifiably crazy and undeniably danceable. Book in advance.
Wed Mar 28, RMB260 (presale); Sir Teen, visit weidan.com for tickets. See event listing.
