At which venue:
BBB Bar (Baby Boom)

Impromptu ideas are really impromptus - ideas from the evening of December 10 to the early morning of November 11 in the early snow. Five DJs hit it off, starting from all over Beijing, bringing music to BBB.


You may think this is too impromptu, not like a proper party at all. But the electronic music party is initially like music lovers hit it off, not too many arrangements, not so many rules, just simply enjoy the joy of music. And the party itself is a little more fun.


This Saturday, we hope you can come to the BBB's impromptu event and listen to five impromptu DJs play some impromptu music.
