LIVE MUSIC PREVIEWS:
HIGH WOLF IN CHINA
http://layabozi.com/2012/10/high-wolf-in-china/
Wangba Music is bringing to China High Wolf, a mystic musician that plays guitar, drums, and machines and who likes to explore trascendental spaces with his sounds. He has released fifteen albums, and has already accumulated many miles due to tours around Europe and North America.
His music is colorful though quiet, and chilled. There are a lot of ethnic sounds and spacial sounds too. Live music is most of the time much better than recorded music, and in the case I can imagine the musician mutates from musician to “trip guide” and back to musician many times during the concert.

Come see him in Beijing on October 12th

PANGBIANR: Beijing’s Electro/Experimental Underground
SOURCE: http://pangbianr.com/electro-underground/
In a recent City Weekend blurb, Blake Stone-Banks — the magazine’s former nightlife editor — articulates a phenomenon that has been flitting around my brain for about a year now. That’s Beijing’s “electro underground,” and its aesthetic overlap with experimental music.
[Let me first state for the record that I acknowledge there are no genre labels less precise than “electronic music” and “experimental music.” For the sake of this article let’s say electronic music is anything that has a beat not produced by a live drummer and experimental music is… fuck it, that phrase is meaningless.]
In exploring the connection between electro and experimental, Blake name-checks the Shanshui crew (Sulumi, Dead J, ME:MO, et al) and identifies some younger heads on the scene, such as Noise & Noise:

deadly cradle death - noise is dying (beijing/noise/power electronics)
