huMP3 day. 09/29/2010
![]() This week's huMP3s are brought to you by Thursday. For it is Thursday, when the artists who's compositions I give to you, will put their talents on display. And it is Thursday when we have the opportunity to experience a bit of the old China, as well as some of the new. The former, in the form of folk artist Old Street's song "Wang(hope)," an 8+ minute piece of acoustic guitar mastery. Old Street plays Nuts Club Thursday night(9/30) at 20:30. Tickets are 30 RMB, 25 for students.
![]() The next couple of tracks, the "new" China, come from local producer of electronic music, eclove23. The ambient/electronica musician will be doing a live set as part of Baroque Bar's Post Garden party, which also features DJ Teacher, and live visuals from Beijing(via Chongqing) VJ Banana. The Beats and Visuals begin at 21:30, Thursday night.

![]() TDGS This week' huMP3 day comes from 3 bands that will be in Chongqing this weekend to celebrate Nuts Club's third anniversary. The first, whom we've probably mentioned more than any other here in the scene, comes from our fair city, The Deep Green Sea(TDGS), has been a favorite ours, as well as the locals for many years now, and are one of a host of local acts to take the stage this Saturday night(9/18)
![]() the Cave Singers The next two artists come not only from out of town, but out of the country. The Cave Singers, from Chongqing's sister city of Seattle. Having been described as indie-folk, lo-fi folk, and our favorite freak-folk (whatever they are I assure you they rock), will play on Sunday(9/19).
![]() Knuckle Bone Oscar The other export, hailing from Helsinki Finland, is known for their high-energy performing and electrifying stage presence. "Half Human, half ape", Knuckle Bone Oscar's "ADD blues" is the final act of a weekend(also on Sunday), and are guaranteed close out the festivities emphatically!
huMP3 is a new feature here on cqscene, where every(or most) Wednesdays we give you free music from artists either from, or who will be performing in Chongqing, or the surrounding area. ![]() This, our first installment of huMP3 day, we have a lot to offer, as this weekend in Chongqing has something, seemingly, for everyone. On Friday night at Nuts Club is Underground Hip-Hop vol.2, hosted by local MC PDP(aka J.L.Sean). I don't know much about the artists, but I do know this about hip-hop, if its bad, its better that you don't understand the lyrics. Keeping that in mind makes our first mp3 all the more tolerable.
![]() Also on Friday night across town, CiCi Park is having a "german techno" party with Pacou, a real life german DJ. Its been a while since CiCi has hosted any parties, so the rave kids should be out in full force for this one.
![]() Keeping the DJ/dance theme alive on Saturday night are Chengdu based duo Just Charlie and Jovian a.k.a. the Disco Death DJs, bringing their eclectic mix dub-step, drum & bass, glitch, and ghetto house to Baroque Bar. Being the only act of the weekend I can vouch for, I highly recommend checking 'em out... that is if you can find Baroque Bar.
![]() To cap off the weekend we head back to Nuts Club on Sunday for one of the biggest names in the Chinese rock scene, Miserable Faith. Always a hit with the locals, the Beijing metal/hardcore outfit is guaranteed to stir up some sweaty moshing.
