Antidote November 2009

Just weeks after completing excellent tours with Korea's Sssighborggg, Silent & Eunchurn, and UK's Slick 50, the Antidote brought a massive weekend to Shanghai.



Friday, Nov.6 -- Antidote LIVE @ the new MAO LiveHouse, Shanghai. With PET CONSPIRACY 宠物同谋, Boys Climbing Ropes, Duck Fight Goose 鸭打鹅, B6, Baijiu Robots and some amazing live real time visuals by team LLND. Some pics here: http://www.smartshanghai.com/gallery/11292



Saturday, Nov.7 -- Antidote @ Shelter with MATT.B and Tagtraumer, with support by B6 and Uprooted Sunshine/Sub-Culture DJs Drunk Monk and Blaise Deville. We like mixing up genres instead of making a night with only one style. We started with heavy dub-step and ended with techno, and all sorts of nifty sounds in between.

Everything was awesome, with the exception of Mao running out of beer in the middle of the party. We warned them~!!!

Anyway -- Antidote is done with China for 2009. We are off to Europe for a bit, starting with IGO and B6 gigs in Berlin, Switzerland, Belgium, and more pending. Nov.27 @ Worldtronics Festival in Berlin for the IGO gig, be there!

Big big big stuff in the works for 2010, can't wait.

Antidote October 2009

Antidote kicks off the month on Oct.3 @ Shelter Shanghai with South Korea's Eunchurn and DJ Silent. Former DMC champ, now throwing sexy fashion raves and collaborating with Korean pop stars, and producing some of the dirtiest electro burners we've heard, Eunchurn and DJ Silent rocked Shanghai, whizz-bang~!

Then, we're going on a little tour of China with another crazy act from Korea -- Sssighborggg !!! and UK's Slick 50, plus a whole bunch of support acts along the way. In Shanghai on Oct.17 we're also co-hosting the after party for JZ Electro-Grass Music Festival.

About DJ @llen...

From Taiwan, DJ @LLEN plays an eclectic set of indie dance rock, electro, and techno -- from classic to cutting-edge.

DJ @llen is probably the most well-known name in Taiwan's electronic dance scene and recognized as "the Godfather of electronic dance music in Taiwan." In the summer 1995 he did the first-ever outdoor rave in Taipei which kicked off the whole rave phenomenon on the island.

He is also the author of a book, "E-Generation: Electronic Dance Music Bible" (published in 1999) -- the only dance music encyclopedia written in Chinese, which has made a huge impact among Chinese electronic music lovers.

In recent years, @llen has been invited to DJ at evnets like Street Parade in Zurich and Rio Parade in Brazil in front of hundreds of thousands of people. He also has played in Shanghai and Beijing many times, and he is the first Taiwanese DJ to hold a monthly residency at MoS Taipei.

Having been DJing for almost 20 years, @llen has established a music style of his own. His style ranges from house, techno to electro and is specializing in blending his set with a great dose of funk, soul, rock, or disco elements. His second mix compilation Muzik Boutique 003 - "Electro Groove" was released by Hinote records Taiwan in May 2006.

About "ZiG ZAG"
http://www.neocha.com/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.

两个来自中国的没谱青年，他俩以前在一支摇滚乐队里大玩摇滚乐的时候，突发奇想地想把摇滚乐带到舞池中去好让中国满大街的糜烂夜店里的肥胖中年男人统统从舞池里滚蛋，所以就他们就变成了ZigZag。ZigZag在他们的舞曲里参合了Disco、摇滚乐和一些连他们都不知道那是什么的音乐元素，谁知道呢，就是这种破破烂烂、摇摇晃晃的Disco让人们在舞池中感受到了疯狂的摇滚乐，每个人都想要喝醉并且摇滚上路

"ZiG ZAG"について:
２００４年武漢市に出会え、海南島出身のZhao Zhao さんと青海省生まれのZu Ge さんはロックバンドを結成しました。数年後、この二人は北京を拠点にし、今段々と電子音楽の要素をサウンドに付加しています。彼らは本格的なライブエレクトロニクスの二人組です。主なミックスはエレクトロ・グリッチ、ディスコ・ファンクとダンス・ロック。彼らのダフトパンクのアンセム："Harder Better Faster Stronger" ミックスでZigZag は北京で超人気物になっています。
