Dec 2: BLEND - The Final Mix
BLEND started out in the summer of 2013 by a group of like-minded DJs who felt the city’s nightlife scene was in need of a musical shake-up. Fueled by their mutual love for classic dance records and a shared thirst for soulful, eclectic beats, they started organizing weekly parties around the city. After an extended hiatus, the three jocks have decided to revive the party and share the DJ booth in Beijing for one last time. For one night only, they will hit the crowd with an all-night back-to-back-to-back DJ set combining everything from Classic Disco to Afro House to Soulful Techno. Join them for the finale as they celebrate the past and bid farewell to co-organizer and good friend Max (aka Max At Large) who is leaving Beijing to start a new adventure in Koh Samui, Thailand, with his partner in love, Micku.
Fri Dec 2, 10pm-5am; RMB30. The Bar at Migas, see event listing.
