Irish rapper and producer Rejjie Snow is comin’ through on a ticket tacked by Vice. And it's FREE. Studying film and design on an athletic scholarship got him through a year at Savannah College of Art and Design, before he dropped out to focus on his music. Looks like it has paid off, as earlier this year, he released his first full-length album Dear Annie, a funky, jazzy hip hop gem. Head on over to Vice to score your ticket now.
Jan 11, 8pm, no cover. Bandai Namco Shanghai Base, see event listing.
Jan 11: OLAM Acoustic

This vocalist, lyricist and star extraordinaire has made some of the the best EDM to come out of Japan in years, so prepare yourself for a unique, artistic and eclectic afternoon...

‘ZEE’ is an audiovisual collaboration between American video artist Zebbler and Spanish electronic music producer Encanti. The combination of heavy psychedelic bass music and mapped visuals on three custom winged projection screens creates a fantasy world ripe for escapism. This set will be smaller than some of the bigger stages they normally play, so they're queued up for an intimate, immersive experience.
Jan 12, 9pm, RMB100 pre-sale, RMB120 door. Lofas, see event listing, buy tickets.
Jan 13: Peach Illusion, Appendix, Pale Ail and A Hidden Trace

While they may have met at Xiamen University, O.o and C.c of Peach Illusion put together their first album an ocean apart. The release of their first self-titled EP is a bedroom dream-pop gem, wrote, recorded and mixed while one was in Singapore and the other Shanghai. With two new band members, they’re upping their funk game for a show with A Hidden Trace, Appendix and Pale Ail.
Jan 13, 8.30pm, RMB80 pre-sale, RMB100 door, RMB60 student. Yuyintang, see event listing.
