Putney native Kieran Hebden’s post-rock electronic project Four Tet is hitting Shanghai this month. He’s worked with the likes of Thom Yorke from Radiohead and remixed everyone from CVRCHES to Bloc Party and Bonobo. With influences ranging from jazz to folk music and hip-hop, he’s made a name for himself on both the dance circuit and the production scene.

Young label WR/OC is bringing a roster of hip hop from around the world to Shanghai this weekend!

Sharing the stage for two nights packed-out with talent are MC光光, 深蓝儿童 (Indigo Children), NINEONE#, YOUNG13DBABY, Young Poc, T.A.C.E., 沙皇40F, MAFI∀ and MC天天. The mixture of local and international talent makes for one of the most diverse hip hop showcases in the PRC, with one-day, two-day and special VIP packages available.

A mishmash of '60s pop and late '80s British indie music, Virgin Suicide's name riffs off the 1999 Sofia Coppola film 'The Virgin Suicides'. Yeah, the one with Kristen Dunst, Josh Hartnett and Hayden Christensen. The Smiths meets The Beatles meets teenage feelings ten-fold in this European five-piece hitting the OG Yuyintang Saturday.
Nov 17, 9pm, RMB100 pre sale, RMB120 door. Yuyintang Livehouse, see event listing, buy tickets.
Nov 17: HITO

Berlin-based Japanese electronic artist HITO is no stranger to the club scene. A regular in Ibiza, her heavy bass, techno infused tracks are mature in sound and German by nature. Expect lots of kids in all black for a serious (literally and figuratively) dance set.
Nov 17, 10pm, RMB99 pre sale, RMB150 door. Arkham, see event listing, buy tickets.
Nov 20-21: Owl City

The bubbly boy of synth-pop's Owl City is bringing all his beeps, boops and bops to The Benz's smaller venue, The Mixing Room. He'll be playing two shows, so you can catch him and all his fireflies back to back if that's your thing! Tickets ain't cheap though.
Nov 20-21, 8pm, RMB680. The Mixing Room, see event listing, buy tickets.
