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 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.

[conflict]

[fils_here]

[tekara]

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.

[conflict]

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

[tekara]

that sounds like the perfect plan

let me know if you DO end up coming here

[conflict]

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

[t-dj]

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

[conflict]

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

:)
