Beijing Weekly Party Planner: Feb 16-22

Feb 17: Nick Monaco

What makes this show particularly exciting is that we have no idea what to expect. American producer Nick Monaco is all about defying the norm. When it comes to classifying his sound into a genre… well, that’s just impossible. Expect to hear some truly original dance music and witness a wildly entertaining performance by Monaco. Trust us, this one’s gonna be good.

Fri Feb 17, 10pm-late. Price TBD. Dada, see event listing.

Feb 17: Spin Back

This one’s for all you vinyl purists out there. That’s right Boflex, Watermelon and 0161 will be performing at Migas with vinyl... and vinyl only.

Ramo and Mimi e Coco are partnering up to throw what should be a pretty awesome party on Saturday. And this one’s got soul – soul music and soul food, that is.

Food will be served all day until Ramo's kitchen closes at 11pm, and there will be drink specials too. And over at Mimi e Coco DJs Cad73 and Jay 1,2 will be spinning some soul beats starting around 4pm.
