If you haven't checked out that new club in Found, 44KW, yet, this right here is your excuse to do so. Their sound system is insane - seriously, it looks like it's some kind of spaceship or something - and they're bringing through some European house DJs on Friday, so what more can you really ask for? Also they make proper drinks. Like, a well stocked bar. No joke.
Mar 1, 9pm, RMB100 pre-sale, RMB120 door. 44KW, see event listing.
Mar 1: POMO and Harrison Brome

DJ Pomo and singer Harrison Brome tare kicking things up at Arkham for a live set this Friday. Pomo is a Canadian born multi-instrumentalist now residing in Montreal, and has taken the electronic music scene by the collar, dragging it back onto the dance floor with dreamy synths, glittery arpeggios, buoyant beats and twangy samples. Brome's all about that bedroom pop RNB vibe, so should be a good one if you're looking to burn a few calories.
