A regular at Yen parties down through the years, DJ Usami’s been blowing up Migas’ terrace this summer alongside Patrick Yu with the pair’s “Moonlighting” series.

Over the past year, we’ve often asked local DJs to name the Beijing DJ they rate most highly. The name “Eddie Lv” has come up on more than one occasion, so when we heard about his new weekend parties at Kokomo’s Mo Lounge, we decided to ask Eddie a few questions.

Beijing's hip-hop heads are in for a rare treat tomorrow when Pete Rock comes to drop bombs on Yugong Yishan. You shouldn't need told twice to part with money to see Soul Brother #1 but if you need persuaded here are the facts: the man is one of the best beatsmiths on the planet (Notorious B.I.G.'s "Juicy"), he's responsible for some stone cold classic tunes ("They Reminisce Over You") and he's undoubtedly rap royalty. If you don't know, now you know. Tickets are RMB 100 on the door or RMB 70 if you get them in advance - get down to YGYS tonight to grab a bargain.

Detroit minimal techno pioneer Daniel Bell is the man behind the influential Accelerate, Elevate and Seventh City record labels. After a brief hiatus from producing, and a move to Germany, he’s resumed a busy DJing schedule. Originally set to play at Alpha, his performance in Beijing has just been moved to Yugong Yishan on Friday, July 23. Bell sat down with us for 60 seconds of interrogation.

Known for his eclectic musical pairings, Dimitri from Paris has worked with everyone from Madonna to fashion houses Yves Saint-Laurent and Chanel. His latest project unearths the 70’s disco music of Philadelphia.
