Love Bang Three-Year Anniversary

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 谢谢大家 - 周六太NB – so good. Thanks to everyone who came and those made it happen, like DJ Caution, Luce, FeelGoodSmalls, Gucci, Dace, and of course – Xiaochang from Dada Bar. I really didn’t know what to expect on Saturday, with all the parties going on, but thankfully not everyone in Shanghai likes over-hyped German techno.
Right here we’ve got a flyer I’ve wanted to draw for a long, long time. You know that feeling when you come out of Shelter at 5am and life feels like Walking Dead? Yongfu Lu may just be the most surreal street on earth, filled with pushers, prostitutes, monkeys, vagrants, and just all kinds of deviants. Thanks to Gucci C for the help drawing this one. See you on April 12th, fam.
Deadboy – Geek’d Up

Haven’t heard anything from Deadboy in a long, long time, but he came correct on this deep house banger that samples the one and only Juicy J. Pretty sure this track sealed the deal for a few couples on that late late nite tip on Saturday.
The older I get, the more I like deep house and don’t understand what the kids like. Just waiting for trap to die. Would rather the adjective “trappy” die out first really. Alright I’m done being an old man, but first, here’s some more old man music from a CD full of seven minute songs. JT on his “November Rain” flex. Crazy Bollywood samples and percussion on this one.

the black doraemon

Doraemon is a famous cat loved by all in Asia. even those who proclaim hatred for the Japanese probably still have a bit of love for this earless* cat.

*ears were chewed off by mice, somewhere in space i think.

This was the first time i saw this 2012 Obama-victory edition black Doraemon. I wanted to buy him but the seller gave me the run-around about “oh, this is an official Disney product so it’s expensive,” but I’m pretty sure official Disney products don’t come in shrink-wrap with no box or label.

Some tracks I dropped over the weekend. Thank you to all who came out to Dada on Saturday, and shout out to the new homie Moon from India, who says he never misses a Love Bang.

Love Bang 14 Lovers Caption Contest

It’s almost that time again…another Love Bang party at Dada before we move to The Shelter for March (then back to Dada on April 7th). Thanks to all who checked out our latest mix – we’ve got another one coming sooner than you think.

We want to give away some free drank at this Saturday’s show, so we’re doing a caption contest a la The New Yorker. All you need to do is fill in the dialogue bubbles for the boy and the girl. Could be one word, one sentence, or a paragraph. Please no essays/extended discourse – we’re busy working on a mix.

You can leave your dialogue in the comments section on this page. Just say “Boy: ….. Girl: ……” or, you can send @热狼isHeatwolves on Sina Weibo.

First prize gets a bottle of Smirnoff vodka, second prize gets three bottles of beer. We’ll announce the winner on Friday.

We’re spinning love songs from all genres on Saturday, so expect some Motown, some hip hop, a little dubstep, house, and of course some slow-jams on the late-nite tip. Some surprises in store too, and a warm-up set by the mystical DjMrWhite!
