Dojo has a website! See it here: Chengdu Dojo
The seventh house party at Dojo is upon us. If you guys haven’t heard about these events, they are already the stuff of Chengdu legend. Here’s what’s at this event:
Six DJ’s are on the actual lineup, and more will perform. Some living in Chengdu, and some living in Chongqing. No pop music and lots of musical diversity – house, techno, drum & bass, and hip hop. Big sound! Three areas, indoors and out.
In addition to DJ’s, this time we’re featuring a local trio of rappers called TIANDI CLAN. Three Sichuanese rappers, one of them (Melo) who just won a prestigious rap battle in Chongqing this last weekend (Saturday 9/7). Without a doubt, some of the best freestylers in Western China.
At the last two events we’ve featured a bouncy castle. This time the castle’s taking a rest and we’re bringing the dome out again. For those who don’t know, this is a geodesic dome that we custom built – our music festival power move, which debuted at the Chongqing Neverland Music Festival earlier this summer. We like to trick it out with live visuals, too.
We cooperate with Sinostage, the most elite street dance organization in Chengdu, which regularly hosts some of the world’s best dancers and choreographers to lead classes. Last time we had a dance competition with prizes and this time Sinostage has something else planned.
Turns out this house came with a ping pong table. It quickly turned into a beer pong table. Then it turned into a cosmic beer pong table, which was a hit last time. Black lights, glowing balls, glowing water: you know the deal.
We’re up in the kitchen cooking up magic. Seriously, the food is really good and some of this stuff you can’t get anywhere else. Like Deep Fried Oreos, Grilled Cheese with Bacon, and our famous Baijiu Watermelon. This time we’re preparing new food items that you probably haven’t seen before. We’ll keep that a surprise.
Qingdao is 10 yuan, or you can ball out on Beerlao for 20 yuan, player. We have Jungle Juice, locally brewed beer, and jello shots, too.
- Starts at 6pm, goes really late
- Free entry
- Location is in Flower Town, the address and Google Map is here
You can take a taxi directly there, which will cost you about 50 yuan from Chengdu. Split it with friends and get there cheap and easy.
You can also the subway, get off at the second to last stop on the Eastern end of Line 2 (it’s called Honghe, ??). At exit A1 you’ll see cars with the Dojo logo who’ll take you to our gate for 15-20 yuan.
The same drivers will be waiting at our gate to take you back into the city late at night in whatever state of inebriation you’re in as long as you can communicate a location.
All this info is on the official Dojo website.
Spread the news and bring your friends. The more the merrier. There’s a possibility that this will be the final Dojo event. Fingers crossed, we’re hoping it’s not.
You can see some photos of previous Dojo events here and follow Dojo on Weibo here.

Talked with some friends at Hakka who went to one a couple back and they, being locals, were amazed at how similar it came to what they expected a house party to be according to American movies.
They seem to get more and more interesting and now that the weather’s cooled a bit it’s hard to keep yourself from the cool countryside air. Get your party hats folks, it’s a party time.

Sucks that Longquan is being exploited for it’s land and construction… Longquan is known for it’s slow life style.

September 10, 2013 at 2:13 pm #35353AndrewDParticipantSweet! I’m stoked I’ll be able to get to get to go to one of these, the other events have looked awesome.
September 12, 2013 at 2:00 pm #35411CharlieKeymasterThe weather looks great for Saturday – looking forward to it!
September 13, 2013 at 1:05 pm #35428September 13, 2013 at 3:26 pm #35438EugeneParticipantDance moves got a touch rusty over the summer?
Worried about not pulling the right shapes at the Dojo this Saturday?
Need to impress that French girl you met last night with some skills from the Old World?
Don’t despair, Leroy with school you with his timeless magic >>>
September 14, 2013 at 11:53 am #35453Chris ZiichModeratorI will add to this.
My dance moves tonight are going to sick.
