Panel with GOOOOOSE, 33EMYBW, Hyph11E and Jason Hou. Moderated by Mollie Zhang.

This year, CTM 2018 features the sound of China’s emerging underground with artists affiliated with DoHits, Genome 6.66 Mbp, The Centaurs, and SVBKVLT. 

Jason Hou and Hyph11e will grace Panorama Bar for “Phasing” on February 1st, while Han Han aka GOOOOOSE and Wu Shanmin aka  33EMYBW appear at our closing night at SchwuZ on February 4th. Not often known for its contemporary music output, China has been the site of many exciting developments in recent years, partially at the hands of our panel’s participants. Mollie Zhang of the Quietus will talk to the artists about the particular challenges they face in China and how the cultural climate is shifting.

 


Hosted by The Quietus.
