I visit Chengdu for some days, most days are meanwhile weekend. So nice moment to visit some (dance) clubs. I found on the internet a little bit information. But still I don’t know which club is nice to visit.
What I am looking for? I look for are “real” electronic music. No mainstream dance music like Afrojack, Tiesto, David Guetta or Chinese music. No, want to visit more underground electronic music (techno, electro, acid).
Does somebody have some information? Chengdu is a big city so must have a clubs like in other cities as Beijing and Shanghai.
Thanks!
November 20, 2012 at 1:16 am #23736CharlieKeymasterHey Jeff,
Electronic music is at a particular weak point in Chengdu right now, there really isn’t much available at the moment. We had a good venue which closed recently (called Xiong Mao where friends and I hosted Disco Death) but now everything is either a one-off or in a small bar.
Are you a DJ? I’ll send you a PM.

November 20, 2012 at 5:28 pm #23789AMParticipantLan Town might be worth checking out. They occasionally have decent DJs.
Hemp House will have some techno/bass music after 12 on Saturday. See this thread

Thanks for ‘Lan Town’ and ‘Hemp House’.
If you have to choose for this Saturday: Lan Town or Hemp House?
By Google Maps I see both locations are not very far from each other.
Anyway, like to stay at one loaction all evening/night
November 21, 2012 at 5:11 am #23805AMParticipantI’d say the Hemp House but I’m biased as I’ll be DJing there. There are bands on until 12 so you could check out Lan Town first and head over to Hemp House if it isn’t good/busy.
November 21, 2012 at 5:24 am #23809CharlieKeymasterQuote:If you have to choose for this Saturday: Lan Town or Hemp House?Hemp House, especially if there’s an event going on there. It’s a small venue so it’ll probably be pretty crowded this Saturday.
November 21, 2012 at 9:49 am #23845RayParticipantLan Town ain’t exactly an Ibiza mega-club either

Seriously though, where can you go to hear any kind of underground electronic music now? Hemp House and Lan Town are the only two venues I can think of. Unless White Rabbit is still open…not heard of anything going on out there for ages.
November 21, 2012 at 2:26 pm #23858Jeff80MemberFound some information about ‘White Rabbit Village’: ‘after hour club’.
Sounds very nice. 🙂
Didn’t found some program of last months, this means location is closed?
Till now girlfriend and I have two locations in mind: Hemp Hous and/or Lan Town.
November 21, 2012 at 4:35 pm #23863piano tunaParticipantwhite rabbit was a huge failure. beijingers thinking huayang is the next big destination
November 22, 2012 at 2:24 am #23867Jeff80MemberI can’t find on the internet any information about Huayang. Can you tell me more please?
November 22, 2012 at 2:33 am #23868CharlieKeymasterQuote:Didn’t found some program of last months, this means location is closed?Yeah, it’s closed. There’s nothing worth going to Huayang for.
November 22, 2012 at 2:50 am #23869Jeff80Member@ Charlie: Thanks for your feedback!
November 22, 2012 at 5:17 am #23881AMParticipantQuote:I can’t find on the internet any information about Huayang. Can you tell me more please?Its fucking miles away. I’m pretty sure its not open now but I don’t know if they still rent the space. I’ll ask someone on Saturday.
This might be of interest – Minimal China
Its a documentary about techno in China. There is a bit about Chengdu and the White Rabbit.
