SHCR (Shanghai Community Radio) Takeover

Shanghai has for years been at the bleeding edge of China’s electronic music culture. While Beijing holds the edge for other, grimier forms of alternative music, like punk and indie rock, something about Shanghai’s historically cosmopolitan character and brighter, shinier facade lends itself to the crystalline sheen of contemporary club sounds.

If you don’t live in Shanghai, or if you do live in Shanghai but tend to go to bed before 2am, the subtleties of the city’s electronic music scene might fly beneath your radar. It lives in the late-night, bred in underground bunkers like the recently closed Shelter and multi-purpose arts space Basement 6, and in alternative dance clubs like ALL and Elevator.                                                  —— RADII CHINA
