About ‘ZiG ZAG’:
Check out http://www.neocha.com/zigzag or http://www.douban.com/group/zigzag/
In 2004, Zhao Zhao from Hainan Island and Zu Ge from Qinghai met in Wuhan and formed a rock band. Years later, they’re now based in Beijing and have gradually added elements of electronic music into their sound. Now they’re a full-fledged live electronic duo making a mix of disco funk, electro glitch, and dance rock that kicks ass on the dance floor. Their renegade glitchy mix of Daft Punk’s anthem “Harder Better Faster Stronger” has Beijing buzzing with praise for Zig Zag.

In early 2005, American DJ/promoter Michael “Ozone” and Shanghai-native designer/producer B6 started a little monthly party called “The Antidote” at a dive bar in Shanghai. The Antidote brought a refreshing, DIY, renegade style party that blew open the Shanghai music and party scene. Since then, The Antidote has toured China, and has been featured in countless magazines, TV, radio, newspapers, and websites around the world, including BBC, NPR, and New York Times. The Antidote posters are currently on exhibit at the Victoria Albert Museum in London. The Antidote crew now have several packed parties every month in Shanghai, and play exciting and innovative new music that rocks dance floors and opens hearts and minds.
