On June 13, Quentin Mosimann is coming to Wave Club.
If you are unfamiliar with the EDM mastermind, he is currently the world’s seventy-second best DJ based on DJ Magazine’s annual Top 100 DJs poll.
Quentin Mosimann won the Star Academy in February of 2008. He earned EUR1 million.
If you still failing to see why his presence in Guangzhou is such a big deal, consider that China is a country where EDM, or electronic dance music, has made relatively few inroads. This is due, in part, to the fact that it is difficult for DJs to sell tickets in China, leading to fewer performances than other regions of the world.
China just doesn’t get the same DJs the rest of the world does, plain and simple.
Basically, if you love dancing, loud music and elite DJs and you pass up this opportunity – you are crazy. It is sure to be an EDM show like nothing Guangzhou has seen before.
Cost: RMB100 for VIP tickets, RMB150 at the door (includes a drink), if you make a table reservation at Wave Club before 10:30pm the ticket is free.
When: 10pm
Where: Party Pier，Yue Jiang Dong Lu (through the Mo Die Sha tunnel), Haizhu District 广州海珠区阅江东路琶醍珠江啤酒厂文化创意园A区
