Ahhhh. No time for posts lately. However, this is worth noting.
This Saturday at Logo, another round of the monthly party dedicated to playing a proper assortment of dance music all night without damaging your ears.
DJ Cavia - China DMC champion - unstoppable on the vinyl and also China’s number one Frank Zappa Fan. Cutting up electro, hip hop, and rock on vinyl.
Evil Einsteins - Dance rap from the future. Stacks of original tracks.
Heatwolves - Hip hop, Mega Bass Party Jams, and Disco to make your girl dance, plus a late night dubstep set.
Some seriously sexy, deep grooves and really proper cocktails. Yes, they do a fine whiskey sour.
Half off before 10PM, best deal in town.
Lots of fine, fine new music out lately. Loving this track…summer vibes.

Baths - Aminals
Though we’ve got mad love for the lighthouse and we’re throwing another party there next month, I’m proud to announce we’re doing a pool party next weekend.
The first pool party of the year at Mandarin City’s giant outdoor pool. We’ve got a proper soundsystem and you’ll feel the bass even at the bottom of the deep end.
RMB140 with two drinks, swim all day.
RMB80 swimming only.
Music selected and mixed by some of Shanghai’s finest party starters The Ughhh, Mau Mau, and myself.
788 Hongxu Lu, near Huaguang Lu. You can take metro line four, three, or ten to Hongqiao Lu and get a cheap cab from there. Line ten may have a closer stop as well…not sure.
So far the biggest summer track of the year for me. Really looking for a WAV of this…

Foals - This Orient (Starkey Remix)
but no fireworks allowed in the new hood, damn.
and, the outdoor party in the park today got cancelled, by the man.
i’m hiding somewhere between the air conditioner, with its invisible shower of particulate matter, and the hot air monster lurking outside my building and on my balcony, so unforgivingly humid.
but don’t everybody love the sunshine?

Roy Ayers - Everybody Loves the Sunshine
Working in the office these days.
Can’t blog from there, hence the sparse posts lately.
I’m going to see Caribou tomorrow at the Dream Factory for sure. If you don’t know Caribou, start with this mix at pitchfork. Interesting dude from the interviews I’ve read. PhD in math who cooks up eccentric and often extremely danceable jams.
Cool animal name choice too. Not played out like panda or something.
And here’s a track from his latest album.
