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.

Rumors have been circulating about a fully developed CiCi Square district that can offer Chongqing a full underground scene.  On Sunday, these rumors became closer to reality.  SVIP club has opened down the way from CiCi Park, offering a higher-class alternative to CiCi’s electro-scene...
