A beijing based electro-pop band playing a live set with analog synthesizers. Also coming are a couple of VJs and DJs from Soulseeds and a d&b / dubstep DJ from Nanning.
Saturday – 5/5 – Jeans Team
An electronic band from Berlin. They have their own record label & radio show. They have released loads of music and have appeared on the legendary John Peel BBC Radio show. Should be a fun show. Support from Metro Tokyo.

5/25 – chengdumusic presents: Addison Groove
(50 weapons/Swamp 81)
Addison Groove brings his Chicago juke / footwork sound to chengdu. Until 2010 he was better known as Headhunter, a huge name for people that are into dubstep. Then he released a juke track called ‘Footcrab‘ under his new alias, Adisson Groove. The track was one of the biggest dance floor fillers of 2010. He’ll be playing a live set on the iconic Roland TR-808.
