Safia Starlight China Tour in Beijing
Date: Dec 16－8:30 pm
Venue: Omni Space, Beijing
Australian three-piece electronica/indie pop band Safia hail from Canberra, an unlikely but then-burgeoning source of new music Down Under. Beginning life in 2012 and initially consisting of two bedroom producers, Ben Woolner (vocals/producer) and Michael Bell (drums/producer), the duo soon expanded to include the synth and guitar input of Harry Sayers to complete the trio. They jokingly described their sound as "Skrillex and James Blake making sweet, tender love".
Unight x Nova present Panama with Mendo in Shanghai
Date: Dec 15－10 pm
Venue: Fusion, Shanghai
One of the underground's most requested remixers and head of the Clarisse Records label, the ever-ready Mendo has well over a 200 tracks to his name released over a nearly 20-year period and has stamped his style across some of the best electronic music labels. A spinner since the age of 15 and the holder of a quintessential "music is life" philosophy－this after inauspicious childhood inspiration was provided by acid house, new beat and anthems such as Technotronic's "Pump up the Jam"－Mendo's career from this point forward has thrived on the excitement "to produce a song, then play it in front of thousands of people and make them hysterical."
