exactly. I live in HK and i can say that China is a very late bloomer when it comes to techno. Even in HK do you rarely see techno shows. The city went through a whole cheezy trance stage in the 90's, partially because of British colonial influence, but now it has gone all house.

You MAY get a techno show here once a year, but only that is because Technasia is playing. Thats pretty much about it.....

Sad to say, even Singapore has a healthier music scene than over here.

Well, I'm considering moving out to HK in the next few years, so we'll have to see what we can do about that.

I think the label Sino is based there...

where? in hong kong? shanghai?

i would advise if it's in mainland china (not hong kong) to be careful about doing all business by the book. have heard some stories of bureaucratic nightmares.

yea its mainland china, got a mate who's living there, he's sorted it

cool. whereabouts?

think its in gwan dong province, i'll let u know the city later

wicked news that, a gig in china, nice 1 conflict!

if its in the guang dong province, most likely it will be in the biggest city which is Guangzhou.

Hong Kong by train will be prcobably 2 hours. Im based in HK so let me know if your gonna swing by.

Yes mate thats what i'm gonna do, fly to hong kong then get the train. Fancy it?

that sounds like the perfect plan

let me know if you DO end up coming here

its all on mate, be cool to take a crew!

I played in Shanghai, Hangzhou and Beijing 3 years ago, pretty crazy trip, but well worth the experience
totally different from Japan (which has a very established club culture)
Hong Kong is also special due to its past...different from the mainland

well looking forward to this

flying to hong kong on the 28th, gonna av it there on the fri night then fly into china on the sat, got a gig sat and sun night, should be rather interesting

:)

wicked sounds good, take loadsa pics!!
