Damacha - TuHaoJin - Beijing Release Show

Date: June 25 - 10:30 pm

Venue: Huizhanyujing, 16 Yufeng Lu, Beijing

Price: 30 yuan

"Damacha's music - while averaging out around the 90 bpm boom-bap mark - jumps from style to style and incorporates samples from every possible source, working through the maestro's flitting obsessions with Chinese mall techno, McDonald's music, classical instrumentation, gutter pop; his collaborations with producers and rappers mediated by Twitter, Weibo, Wechat, QQ, Soundcloud, Bandcamp, Douban; and his in-the-flesh encounters with Shanghai's underground elite at such glorious dives as The Shelter, Arkham, Arcade." - SmartBeijing, "Digging with Damacha"

"Musically, the idea for Tuhaojin is inspired by combining footwork with Chinese club music aka 'high' music, then adding a kind of lo-fi flavor and some other forms of electronic music thrown in, such as trap/cloud rap and even a bit of PC Music. I always thought this Chinese electronic music was pretty awesome - shitty but awesome. So I wanted to give new life to this music and turn it upside down." - Damacha
