Feast your thirsty young minds on these out of control party-centric offerings that are ready set your minds ablaze this weekend. Time to get out there and let your freak flag fly with these tasty dance parties made specifically with the party monsters of our beloved city in mind.
Jun 17: Sanlitun Vice featuring Pete Herbert and Dicky Trisco
These DJs are on a mission to purge Sanlitun of repetitive EDM crap, one record at a time. Sanlitun Vice is back and this time they have a couple of special guests in attendance to wipe out Sanlitun’s affliction with one-dimensional dance music once and for all. Pete Herbert will be joining the fray with a musical mix of Balearic leftfield disco, funk, and other sounds from beyond. Also, they have the tactical skills of Dicky Trisco, who will be protecting and serving up a potent blend of sultry tunes to get those hands up and bodies on the floor. RMB 70. 10pm. The Bar at Migas
Jun 17: Club Paradise
Paradise isn’t lost yet. Get ready for another crazy evening of dirty disco with Club Paradise, as they unabashedly provide wild times for all of those who identify as young, dumb, and full of you know what. DJs Saucy, Ted Dancin, and Gary Boozy have proved time and time again that they are more than just a crew of clever DJ monikers but also a funky force to be reckoned with. Free. 10pm. Modernista
Jun 17: Zion Train and Vibronics
This night will most likely be the biggest dub reggae music booking of the year. Zion Train and Vibronics are huge names in the scene, playing festivals and clubs globally. They also visited last year and blew some minds with their dub master and echoed into oblivion sound. Guaranteed to please if this just so happens to be your wheelhouse. RMB 60. 10pm. Dada
Jun 18: Shadowplay Night
Underground techno party collective Shadowplay are back at it with this exciting evening of underground music. Space out to the synthetic textures of artsy electronic music with the most exciting DJs in Beijing, including Zhiqi, Boflex, along with a few unnamed special guests who will likely take you down the rabbit hole that you ever thought possible. It's going to be hot, raw, and most importantly creative! 10pm. Dada
