Music Industry Insight: Gouzi, Yugong Yishan
For our September Music Issue, we asked a selection of the city's music experts for their take on the current state of the 'scene' here in the capital. Their insight was adroit, humorous and controversial in equal measure. In this blog series we post the interviews in full. Next up, Gouzi of Yugong Yishan.
