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, some in Chongqing, and one OUT OF TOWN HEADLINER! No pop music and lots of musical diversity – house, techno, drum & bass, and hip hop. Big sound! Three areas, indoors and out.
For the first time ever we’re cooperating with the Natooke Bicycle Shop to host a stationary bicycle race called GOLDSPRINTS! We take Natooke’s custom-made fixed gear bicycles fixed in a stationary position and race head-to-head with live progress projected onto a nearby surface. This is a custom built system and it’s a lot of fun. To our knowledge, you won’t find this anywhere else in China.
We’re featuring a special guest DJ from London! For the moment, we can’t announce who it is. But that’ll come soon.
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.
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 7pm, 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.
Check out the short clip of a Goldsprints event from our friends @Serk_Bike in Beijing back in 2011.
30 or so seconds of head-to-head spinning on a bicycle. Intense fun and a great atomosphere.
hopefully, the good weather will hold up. if it doesn’t, there’s always the GEODESIC DOME to chill in. for people who are wondering what a GEODESIC DOME is, this is from Wikipedia:
A geodesic dome is a spherical or partial-spherical shell structure or lattice shell based on a network of great circles (geodesics) on the surface of a sphere. The geodesics intersect to form triangular elements that have local triangular rigidity and also distribute the stress across the structure.
hope that clears everything up 😉

It’s the most structurally sound building design ever conceived. And and awesome party compliment. We built it ourselves and are quite proud of it. We have lights for the dome, along with silk sheets and we sometimes feature live visuals projected in the dome (there’s a photo in the original post above).
CONRANK (SHANGHAI/LONDON) is headlining Dojo this Saturday! Original post in this thread updated with the new poster. I will post more information on Conrank soon, but in the meantime check out his Soundcloud here:
With the unvailing of Conrank as headliner (anyone see him at Hemp House? Then you might know what this means) this party promises to be #turntup.
I truly believe this will prove to be a spectacular occasion.
We’ve added two additional DJ’s and two MC’s to the lineup:
- DJ Tourettes (Shanghai)
- Big Logo (Chengdu, TA$TY Crew)
- MC Myami Kid (Shanghai)
- MC Kafe Hu (Chengdu, Jingqishen Crew)
8 DJ’s + 2 MC’s in three areas + live visuals this Saturday at Dojo.
Project X Party in Oakland
Nothing like Oaktown! You can see people rolling blunts in the background. Ha ha
This is tomorrow!
We are FILMING A MUSIC VIDEO AT DOJO! It’s a song by Conrank titled “Boy Tell Em” which you can listen to here: Conrank – Boy Tell Em
Hope to meet some new people in Flower Town. Bring your friends!
Two words on last night:
hashtag turntup.
Over the top in the good sort of way. Cheers to everyone who made the journey out and helped make for an awesome time.
Dojo loves fun. You love fun. Ergo we love you! See you next time.
