Shanghai Secret Disco got too big. It started as a group of 20 friends, and after a year of moving between different secret locations, the sheer size has necessitated an evolution. To accommodate all of Shanghai's disconauts, boogie queens and funk masters, it has moved to Mao Livehouse's Electronic Studio. Maintaining its house party vibe, DJs CFP, Bonzo, ALEPAY and Kougar take you on a discosmic adventure, while hostess with the mostest Groove Queen Yi makes sure you feel welcome.

Heavy, mutilated strains of electronic music with influence from the sounds of Detroit, UK and Germany – Laurel Halo’s music is shapeshifting, moody and ecstatic. The Michigan-born and Berlin-based artist has been a mainstay of the London-based label Hyperdub, who released her breakout, divisive debut album Quarantine in 2012. The record received critical acclaim, and was named Wire Magazine’s Album of the Year. Since then she’s released two more albums – 2013’s Chance of Rain for Hyperdub, 2015’s In Situ for Honest Jon’s – and toured extensively with a live hardware PA. In addition, Laurel hosts a regular show on Berlin Community Radio, having originally cut her teeth as a freeform DJ on the legendary WCBN-FM station in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She has collaborated with John Cale, Julia Holter, David Borden, Daniel Wohl, and Metahaven among others.

Nov 30, 10pm. ALL Club. See event listing.
