Weekend Picks in Nightlife: Mike Gao, Magazine + Beer Launch, and Sanlitun Vice

Below our top picks for a night out this weekend. Don't miss out on knowing about the best events in Beijing – see our Editor's Picks.

Tonight

Do Hits! is back at Dada and this time they're inviting Mike Gao to this bass/electro house/UK house party. Gao is based in LA and sure can drop a dope beat or two listen for yourself here. Joining him is Billy Starman, Guzz, Howie Lee, and Veeeky. The party gets started at 10pm and RMB 50 will get you in the door.

Beijing hip-hop scene veteran Nasty Ray celebrates two years of rap parties with a Natural Flavor birthday blow-out at Tango. The event has been a mainstay on the calendar for the past couple of years and has introduced a number of hip-hop performers to audiences in the city. Expect a blend of soul, funk, R&B and rap beats. Read more

Douse yourself in the raunchiest of colognes, throw on some boogaloo shoes, shine up your best gold chain, oil up and brace yourself for Vice at Migas. Each summer a small group of dedicated enforcers gathers to purge Sanlitun of cheesy pop decadence one record at a time. The door charge is RMB 50, but those dressed in 1980s Miami style get a free drink. Read more

Tomorrow night

Join The Cleaver Quarterly team at Great Leap's 6 Doujiao Hutong location as they celebrate the launch of their second issue and the unveiling of a special fennel and Sichuan molasses porter brewed up by Great Leap's Carl Setzer. RMB 75 gets you a magazine and a pint of the fall-flavored brew. The fun starts at 2pm. Read more
