Event Description

Electro Meets Folk with Djang San, Whai, Mickey Zhang, Haozi.

After studying violin as a kid, he started playing music again at the age of 15 as a way to get rid of Teenage angst, Djang San became a self taught musician, jazz, rock and folk guitar player, composer and producer of his own music. He has found his own way of playing Chinese instruments such as Zhongruan and Hulusi, playing with a new approach. On stage he manages to play five different instruments and devices, sometimes building songs in front of the audience, sometimes mixing samples with improvised ideas. He has already released 14 studio and live albums. www.zhangsian.com

Whai was founded in 2012 by three artists from different Chinese ethnic minority backgrounds, each playing original music with distinctly Chinese elements. Whai plays a mixture of trip hop, dance, Chinese folk, psychedelic, avant-garde, experimental, rock, industrial, techno and noise. Whai also incorporates techno music, thanks to special guest member Mickey Zhang. Mickey Zhang is one of the most influential DJs in Asia, who's influence on the Asian, especially the Chinese electronic music scene, cannot be overstated.

Haozi is a Post-1980 Generation Indie Folk Musician. His solo EP Foreign Lands released in 2003, and Participated in the Taiwan Campus Folk Music Trip in 2007. He began traveling and creating a new album from 2008. In 2009, he released the single Traveling Horse, and released a collection of poetry titled A White Balloon Flies out the Window and solo album Sister Doe in this year.
