After the wicked turnout and huge response of the first one, Dada is welcoming another Shanghai legend Roo to the lineup. For his appearance at Xia, Roo will delve into his more ambient choonage; expect a deep and driving journey through liquid drum and bass, chill step and halftime bass.

Flyer courtesy of the promoter.
House and RnB? Yes please. DJ Jacques Greene has been called out by Pitchfork, making their list of "Songs of the Decade" with the track 'Another Girl'. Mau Mau and Will A are there for support in what's looking to be a solid night of d-d-d-dance. Per usual, you've got to message the WeChat account for the location. *it's a secret*

Nov 23: Epizod3 Pre-Party
Flyer courtesy of Celia.
What?! Celia's open before midnight? But why? How? Well, the reason is just as strange as the occurence itself - they're having a pre-party for a music festival...in Vietnam. Guests that arrive before 1am have a chance to win tickets to the festival though, so that's cool! Don't worry, they're still running late.
Nov 23, 10pm, RMB80 pre sale, RMB100 door. Celia, see event listing, buy tickets.
Nov 23: Kasra
Flyer courtesy of the promoter.
Oh shit! ALL finally uploaded an event to our site! Hell yeah! Honeslty, we'd be excited to push nearly anything on at this spot, but this weekend it's especially easy to because Sweatshop returns after a 10-month-hiatus with the man behind Critical Music - one of the most current and relevant drum & bass labels produing atm. Locked in to join Kasra are Sweatshop residents Arkaik and Fractale, long-time co-conspirator Resinate, and a special guest from the south Daniel Power. Tight.
Nov 23, 10.30pm, RMB80 before midnight, RMB100 after. All Club, see event listing.

Flyer courtesy of the promoter.

Nov 24: Brooke Candy
Flyer courtesy of S.T.D.
Alright, we were going to write our own pitch for her, but Spotify kind of went over the top. "Waging all-out war against conventions, expectations and anything else in her path, Los Angeles hardcore pop iconoclast Brooke Candy trumpets a call-toarms weaponized by an indistrial barrage, hip-hop bravado and bloodthirsty punk recklessness on her 2018 independent EP, Who Cares. Like a byproduct of a one-night stand between Al Jourgensen and Kathleen Hanna, she carries a tradition of social sabotage on her own terms." She's produced tracks with Mykki Blanco and Pussy Riot, so you know she means what she says.
Nov 24, 10pm, RMB100 pre sale, RMD120 door. Arkham, see event listing, buy tickets.
Nov 24: Riddim'N'Vibe
Flyer courtesy of C's.
Old skool, drum and bass, writing on the walls and jungle sounds (it's a real genre of electronic music derived from breakbeat hardcore, don't worry) are on at C's this weekend. Get reggae with it.
Nov 24, 10pm, no cover. C's, see event listing.
Nov 24: Theque
Flyer courtesy of the promoter.
After nine years in Shanghai, Lindberg is finally off for less polluted pastures. Come dance and drink to house and disco to wish him well on his next great adventure. As always, RSVP for entry.
Nov 24, 10pm, no cover. Electric Circus, see event listing.
Nov 24: Elevator Out Feat. DJ Dustin

Having trasitioned gracefully into pop-up mode, the Elevator team is taking over X-Space to bring you DJ Dustin, one of the founders of one of today's most influential record labels for a night of mind-bending, groove-heavy house and techno. Dustin runs Giegling, a label with one of the best stories in dance music. It started from four parties at a small student club which closed shortly after. Fast-forward to today, and they've become one of the core labels in dance music's deeper and more intricate shades (RA's #1 label of the year in 2014 and again in 2016), doing it simply through incredible parties and releases. Plus he's Mau Mau's favorite.
Nov 24, 11pm, RMB80 pre sale, RMB100 door. X-Space, see event listing.
Nov 25: NTS Radio Live
Flyer courtesy of the promoter.
China Social Club curates a killer line up for Sunday's DJ session. Peng Zhuang, Gouachi, Tobias Patrick and the boys themselves will each play an hour-long set at one of the city's favore record shops, so swing on by and have a brew to see what it's all about.
Nov 25, 4pm, no cover. Uptown Records 'n' Beer, see event listing.
