7 Places to Party in Beijing This Week

Jun 14: Object Blue

Playing a unique mix of experimental club and techno, Object Blue hits Dada this Thursday night. Named one of the '10 Artists to Watch' by FACT Magazine in 2018, the London-based DJ is not one to miss.

Thu Jun 14, 10pm; Dada, see event listing.

Jun 15: Free the Robots

LA-based Free the Robots is set to perform at Dada on Friday night with his combination of electro, hip hop, jazz and psych. He's shared stages with innovative artists like Flying Lotus, DJ Shadow and played alongside Radiohead's Thom Yorke at LA's legendary Low End Theory party.

Fri Jun 15, 10pm; Dada, see event listing.

Jun 15: Disco Extravaganza

Tapas, drag queens and disco – oh my! With DJs Rodreed and Tanner in the mix, Migas is arguably the best place to be this weekend. 

Fri Jun 15, 10pm; free entry; Migas Mercado, see event listing.

Jun 15: Robb Bank$

Only 23 and on his first world tour, Robb Bank$’s meteoric rise continues. While trap beats feature heavily, they are held at bay by the clever use of classic hip-hop grooves. Hard, aggressive vocals and floor-filling beats make Robb a young rapper you should keep an eye on. Touring his latest mixtape, Molly World, the release features samples of old school hip-hop and anime clips. 

Fri Jun 15, 10pm; RMB200 (advance), RMB260 (door); Hustle Club, see event listing. Buy tickets here.

Scandanavian DJ Marcus Henriksson, aka half of techno group Minilogue, lands in Beijing this weekend. He's headlining YinYang Music Festival but you can catch his minimal beats at his solo gig at InfraRouge on Saturday night.

Sat Jun 16, 10pm; InfraRouge, see event listing.

Jun 16: Stop Light Party @ Aurora

Aurora's throwing their Stop Light Party on Saturday night – come dressed in red, yellow or green depending on your relationship status. Red signifies you're not looking for anything, yellow means you're just not sure yet and green means – you get it.

Sat Jun 16, 10pm-late; RMB20 (presale), RMB50 (door); Aurora, see event listing.

Jun 16-18: YinYang Music Festival

YinYang Music Festival fuses the love of music and nature together – RMB30 of every ticket purchase goes to the development of a new forest in Tianjin, on land obtained by the festival organizers.

There's nothing like listening to some live music with a scenic backdrop of the Great Wall at sunset. You can even bring your own food and drinks, with the exception of glass bottles. Just remember to be environmentally friendly!

Sat Jun 16-Mon Jun 18, 12pm; RMB380 (single day), RMB580 (presale weekend pass); Huangyaguan Great Wall, see event listing. Buy tickets here.
