BEME 4: Night 3

Date: Oct 14 - 1:18 pm

Venue: Modernsky Lab

Price: 100 yuan

Beijing-based record label Sinotronics presents the fourth annual Beijing Electronic Music Encounter (BEME), China's most progressive annual showcase of electronic sounds. BEME 4 hosts more than 20 individual artists over three nights, in three venues, with three distinct modes of experience. BEME 4 is a unique, curated cross-section of producers, DJs, and avant-garde electronic music composers and improvisers. The theme of BEME 4 is CROSS FADES: jump cuts, bold transitions, dynamic pivots, fresh moves from old hands. Cross out the known, fade in the new. As with previous editions, BEME 4 is a statement for the radical rethinking of what can be defined as "electronic music" in 2015 Beijing, spotlighting convergences and creating collisions at the fringes of what has become a highly evolved, rapidly monetized, repeatedly contested creative space. BEME 4 coincides with the latest release from Sinotronics: a debut EP for post 90s Beijing producer Menghan. It also showcases new material from old hands on the Beijing scene.
