Antidote presents Detroit wunderkid Jimmy Edgar, in what is guaranteed to be one of the biggest nights of the year!!!
Jimmy started making experimental glitch and retro-future electro-funk music that made massive waves in the global underground scene in the early 2000's, signing to Warp Records at the age of 18, and carried on to release a lengthy series of club hits still in the charts today. He's also an accomplished fashion photographer, film-maker, and conceptual artist.
Endowed with a supernatural feel for futuristic funk, the Detroit native has been bleeping and grinding since he was a teenager. While his peers were worrying about their grades and popularity, Edgar was spinning alongside his hometown’s DJ heroes and programming intricate beats that were unquestionably interplanetary communication disguised as dance music.
In 2001 at the tender of 18, his hyper-sexed microchip stylings caught the ear of Warp Records, where he cranked out his brand of amped-up laptop funk for the next eight years, culminating in the full-length classic ’Color Strip’. XXX (released July 2010 on !K7) with its New Jack Swing winked as much at Minneapolis, Compton and Paris as it does Detroit or Berlin.

30th May - 1st June :: FOOTPRINT足迹 Electronic Music Week " :: International Guest DJ 01 - Sian (Octopus Recordings)
Born in Dublin, Ireland, raised in southern Spain, he chose early to drop out of normal society and engage in the extraordinary. Adhering more to the avant-garde side of club culture, his tracks show an otherworldly, slow and hypnotic slant on techno. Quickly developing an oeuvre of work that has appeared on Bedrock, Sci&Tec, Soma, Pokerflat, plus his own white hot new Octopus Recordings label, his tracks have gathered Beatport top ten positions and glowing reviews alike - from mags and blogs to international radio shows. His reputation for delivering huge slabs of peak time techno is snowballing. Reworked and remixed by talent like Steve Bug, Pan-Pot, Carlo Lio, Nicole Moudaber, Efdemin, Minilogue along the way, he has also dropped super big remixes for the likes of Guy J, Mauro Picotto and Gui Boratto.

Voted 5th on Resident Advisor Top Live Acts of 2012 poll, the brilliant KiNK is back with his skilful live set! This will be a full live set using: Two Novation Launch pads, Novation X-station (the keyboard), AKAI LPD 8 (pads), Korg Nano kontrol (knobs and sliders), Leploop (analog synthesizer, sequencer and drum-machine) headphones in the microphone input for percussions, Eowave The Ribbon (sensor controller) and a laptop.
KiNK is an innovative, uncompromising producer, captivating DJ and live performer from Bulgaria, and he is no stranger to the frame of house and techno scene since his first vinyl release in 2005 on the UK based label Chris Duckenfield's Odori imprint.
In 2008, KiNK proto-house music project with Neville Watson received a worldwide recognition through their releases on the Dutch imprint Hour House is Your Rush. In the following two years KiNK (solo and with Neville) produced music for high profile labels like Rush Hour, Ovum, Poker Flat, Systematic, Mule Musiq, Get Physical, Liebe*Detail and others. His music was played by almost every well-known DJ around the world.
KiNK remixed for important names on the electronic music scene like Hercules & Love Affair, Patrick Cowley, Marc Romboy, Blake Baxter, Riva Starr, Pete Tong and Dave Spoon, DJ T just to name a few. KiNK`s production skills were noticed by the medias with several interviews and artist reviews followed in places like Pete Tong’s show on BBC, Resident Advisor, DJ Magazine, De:Bug, Groove Magazine, Raveline and others. KiNK took the prestigious 20th position in the Resident Advisor – Top 100 charted artists in 2010 and 19th on Resident Advisor Top 20 Live Acts 2011.
On the night, China most wanted DJ – YangBing, the founder of Wasabi Sound – Eric Lee and Patrick Yu will be sharing the desks with KiNK. Again, this will be another epic night with FOOTPRINT足迹 at Haze, and FOOTPRINT 足迹 would like you to join us to mark your footprint together with the international DJ invited!

It’s hard to believe but it has been 6 years since the first event in March 2007!
The events have grown from one event per month to one event per week, helping more and more people. In order to celebrate we’re having a special week with not one but TWO events:
On Tuesday 5 March (http://fcgroup.org/2013/02/13/march-5-tues-anything-goes-social-net... ) we’re hosting an "Anything Goes" birthday networking event at Suzie Wong's. You’re all invited, regardless of your background and interests, and we have lots of special prizes for our traditional lucky draw!
Where? The World of Suzie Wong, Chaoyang Park West Gate 1. ( 朝阳公园西门1号门，苏西黄俱乐部 ) More information & RSVP (http://fcgroup.org/2013/02/13/march-5-tues-anything-goes-social-net...) or simply send a text message to 13911098002 with your name and the event date.
And on Friday 8 March (http://fcgroup.org/2013/02/13/8-march-fri-the-wow-awards-ceremony/ ) we’re celebrating International Women’s Day at the Fairmont’s Ballroom with our annual WOW Awards ceremony for Wonderful Outstanding Women. The evening includes a free flow of drinks with wine courtesy of il Vittorioso and beer courtesy of Heineken, and many prizes.
The list of the WOW nominees is here (http://fcgroup.org/the-wow-awards-2013/ ) .
The Award Ceremony and Networking evening will be at the Fairmont Beijing, 8 Yong An Dong Li, Jian Guo Men Wai Avenue, Chaoyang District, Beijing ( 北京华彬费尔蒙酒店 北京市朝阳区建国门外大街永安东里8号 ).
More information & RSVP (http://fcgroup.org/2013/02/13/8-march-fri-the-wow-awards-ceremony/) or simply send a text message to 13911098002 with your name and the event date.
Then hard on their heels comes both a training session and HR themed event on 12 March, a Creative event, including a short salsa display, on 19 March and a Business & Finance event on 26 March. The information about these events is already on our website www.fcgroup.org
If you want to attend our event for free, remember to share the information about our events on the various social media websites, or by word of mouth. Each week we award free entry to the person who has shared the event with the most people. So make sure to invite everyone, and then tell us so that we can check if you are a prize winner.
So choose which event suits you best (or even better – come to all of them!)
