Jan 13: Barbarism
This fun new monthly party concept at Le Baron is meant to fill a hole in Shanghai’s nightlife scene for pop and indie dance music. Each month, a well-known producer will “release their pop instincts,” according to the organizers, playing edits and mash-ups that might be a far cry from the type of music they’re known for. The headliner is kept secret on purpose so that party-goers don’t show up with any preconceptions about the music. Check out the inaugural party this Saturday.
Jan 13, 10pm, no cover (RSVP or table booking recommended). Le Baron, see event listing.
