Exhibit @ Victoria & Albert Museum

Last year we had an exhibit of all the Antidote posters (designed by B6) at the Source Gallery in Shanghai.

This year, the posters are at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, UK. From March to July 2008, a snippet of our Chinese oh-so-underground culture on view in London, as part of the China Design Now exhibit. Dress appropriately.

* Just saw Newsweek magazine March 24, 2008 issue -- they do a write-up of the exhibit, and there's a photo of the Antidote posters there, check it.

Antidote Live: Meng Qi + MHP

Antidote Live @ The Shelter
MARCH 15, Saturday
The Shelter, 5 Yongfu Lu, near Fuxing Xi Lu, Shanghai

+ Meng Qi (Beijing) - live electronic instrument set of Meng Qi's drum and bass productions.
+ MHP (Shanghai) - live set of new self-produced minimal techno recordings, and DJ set.
support DJs .... B6, Why, Ozone, Wolf Candy, Fish + guests
Music: Live Drum and Bass, Live Minimal, Electro-Tech, Trip Hop, Dubby Bhangra
Dress code: Urban Jungle vs. Mad Minimal

* Meng Qi from Beijing is one of China's more innovative young producers. He makes his own instruments. He mixes the sounds of traditional Chinese music with modern electronics. And he mixes genres that normally are at odds, like progressive breaks with drum and bass. His Landscape albums (China Vibe Records) are some of the few independent releases that have made it onto the shelves of mainstream shops around the country. The tracks blend into each other, with strong melody lines, reminding us of Orbital's "Brown Album" classic. Expect Meng Qi's live set to be aggressive drum and bass with moments of beauty, all pumped out of a big mess of machines and wires.

* MHP has been producing stacks of new minimal techno tracks, he'll be premiering the best of the lot this night.

* Fish, Why, and Wolf Candy are some of Shanghai's freshest young DJ talents. Fish plays acid tech funk, Why plays trip hop, and Wolf Candy rocks atmospheric drum and bass. Ozone will return from a record-hunting trip in India with some new dubby bhangra breaks.
