Currently one of the most popular electronic dance music styles in New Zealand, d&b has become intertwined with their own musical culture in exactly the same manner as dub, reggae, soul, rock and hip-hop have all become as pervasive as fluoride in water. And, Wellington’s wholehearted embrace of bass-heavy breakbeat culture, alongside other key centers like Christchurch, Auckland and Dunedin, has been a key factor in this incontestable, yet rarely publicly acknowledged cultural shift.

It’s been a year since this bomb shelter in Shanghai ‘The Shelter’ has been transformed into one of the most underground and forward thinking clubs in the city. It’s a rare haven where music comes first and locals mix happily with expats to catch the sounds of quality local DJs and world renowned acts across musical genres ranging from Detroit techno to Japanese hip-hop. To celebrate their anniversary they’ve invited the resident DJ of all their regular events to come and represent their sound. The Lab, Uprooted Sunshine, Antidote, Sweatshop and Void will be mixing nu-jazz, drum & bass, reggae, techno and hip-hop.

No the 70′s new wave group from Sheffield haven’t made a come back, this is something much better! The excellent live and club named after these new wavers, (or perhaps after the famous café in Zurich which was the inspiration for the pop group) in Edinburgh is now streaming live almost every night on Awdio.com. The program at Cabaret Voltaire is a diverse mish-mash of live concerts early on in the evening and club nights every night of the week.
Every Thursday night it’s ‘Sick Note’ featuring indie and electro carefully selected by local Indie kids Clash! and Spies in the Wires DJs as well as live bands on an indie/rock tip. This is a night where Kate Nash, the Horrors, Spektrum and Jamie T happily rub shoulders (ok not in the flesh but almost…)
On the weekends expect anything from dubstep to shuffle house with a multitude of different club events rotating throughout the month. Listen to Cabaret Voltaire LIVE on Awdio!
