Washington, DC native and one of the "brightest voices in jazz" is paying tribute to the queen for a week of shows on the Bund. This beautiful venue is one of the best kept secrets in the city, and Lena Seikaly gives you a perfect excuse to go check it out for yourself.

Everyone may have shipped out for their respective south east Asian yoga retreats, but Dada's still up and running and so is Shanghai's own Come Correct Crew. They've brought New York's own Merty Shango in for a night of hip hop. Straight up. No filler. Thank u guys. More of this, please.

Have you been to Sleep No More yet? No? Well you should. And if you have had the pleasure, you should go again. And it's running throughout the holiday week (so you're likely to have smaller crowds, fingers crossed)! This immersive theater experience at the McKinnon Hotel is unlike anything this city has ever seen, and we've been lucky enough to have it for over a year now. It's cool, creepy and the production levels are insane - easily the most impressive adaptation of Macbeth to ever hit the stage. Er, the lobby. To take over an entire building. Jesus, it's good.
Oct 3 - 31, every Wednesday through Sunday with multiple performances, RMB520-850. McKinnon Hotel, see event listing.
Oct 4: The Drifter

The Irish DJ has garnered an international following. His sets are emotive, melodic and mesmerizing, with a sound that'll pull you in like quicksand.

Oct 5: EUPHORIA

Feel infinity! Hear emotions! It's a 'modern update on the spirit of early rave!' Expect visuals, audio and a whole lot of lights from some of our city's favorite DJs.
