- Celebrations kicked off this weekend, with local artists Slowcook, Xingxing, Luxixi, YKK and others.
Zhao Dai, a cornerstone of Beijing's club community, is finally back after shuttering its doors in April this year due to the city's Covid-19 lockdown restrictions.
The intimate space, known for its techno nights, booked local artists Slowcook, Xingxing, Luxixi of Out Of Fashion Boys, YKK, DJ PEX, Sanyo and others for its opening night on Friday, December 9th. Zhao Dai's last party was in mid-April, days before city authorities closed several businesses to contain an uptick in Covid-19 cases and enforced a partial lockdown.
China's capital city has recently eased several of its strict measures following a series of extraordinary anti-lockdown protests around the country. For insights on how local artists responded to these demonstrations, revisit Anu Shukla's story from earlier this month.
