About

Originally from Kalamazoo, Michigan, I live in Shanghai, PRC, where I work, DJ, study Chinese, and write for this site and sometimes others like SmartShanghai.

I maintain heatwolves.com to share music, info about events and parties in Shanghai and around China, tales of adventure abroad, and writings on culture, food, and language.

[a bit about the music and my crews...]

I’ve been DJing in Shanghai and around China for three years. In April, 2010 I started the monthly hip-hop/dubstep/ghetto house party LOVE BANG at Dada Bar. We (DJ Caution, MC One Consciousness, myself, and guests) bring something Shanghai needs – hip hop and party music. I say this because Shanghai’s bar/club scene is dominated by [wack] house/electro and [awful] mashup, with exceptions for sure. You can see all the posters I drew for Love Bang and other parties at Some Art.

Long before this I was half of the now-defunct DJ duo Baijiu Robot (白酒机器人).

On the production tip, I make tracks with DJ Caution as “The Super Ayi Cleaning Team.” We remix Chinese pop songs and make mixtapes. Have a listen over at my Soundcloud.

Aside from these crews, I’m known to rock with Sub-Culture, Split Works, OTAKREW, various local rock bands, and the homie Sal. I’ve shared the lineup with artists like Addison Groove, Kode9, Bicep, Slugabed, and more.

For booking information/press kit/other info please email me – heatwolves@gmail.com – and feel free to send tracks or removal requests as well.

Enjoy the site, and please leave some thoughts/questions/suggestions in the comments. English, Chinese, or any other language is good. Holler.

    You said feel free to comment here, so…

    In chinese, we’d like to put the words that describe the subject before the subject itself.
    e.g. “My stories and life abroad.” ,Here “abroad” is the descriptive word.so in Chinese its like this:-
    “My abroad stories and life.” —> “我在国外的故事和生活。”
