Split Works is proud to finalise one of the most exciting music line-ups that Shanghai has ever seen. We can confirm that on Friday 5th October, Zhongshan Park will host a stellar line up that will include the hip-hop Latin funk of Ozomatli, the sclerotic rhyme of one of the US’s foremost rappers, Talib Kweli, alongside some of the most exciting Chinese music around. It will all be rounded off by arguably the biggest band in dance music ever, the stadium phenomenon that are Faithless…
Shanghai will be the final date in a gruelling world tour for Faithless, who have played to over ¼ million people in the last six months. Having previously DJ-d in Shanghai, Sister Bliss told Shanghai Talk she is looking forward to getting on stage with their full live act.
Talib Kweli will be coming to China on the back of his sixth studio album, Eardrum. Approaching legendary status in the hip hop community, he has come a long way since Blackstar, the group he shared with Mos Def.
Kweli will be joined by the double Grammy winning “best live act in the world” (TimeOut Magazine) Ozomatli. This 9 piece from Los Angeles create sheer happiness from a combination of hip-hop, Latin, funk and soul. If you haven’t seen Ozo live, then you cannot miss this opportunity.
Supporting Faithless in Beijing is local electronic music pioneer DJ Youdai who, legend has it, was the first DJ to spin a Faithless tune in China. In Shanghai the local line-up is as announced before with one addition – IZ, all the way from Xinjiang. Super VC and Hedgehog from Beijing will join local heroes, Banana Monkey and Bananas Soundsystem.
In Shanghai there is other entertainment away from the main stage – for those in need of a spark you can visit our creative market, and for those who want to keep dancing, the new Bacardi B-Live space will host a selection of MCs and DJs throughout the day.
Our Beijing ‘mini’ 2-day festival kicks off the tour, with Ozomatli and Talib Kweli + DJ V-Nutz, playing The Star Live on 2nd October, and Faithless playing the 3rd. The main festival will take place in Shanghai on Friday 5th October, starting at noon, and finishing at 10.30pm.
Tickets are due on sale in both cities around 15th September, but people should call now and reserve beforehand – these events have limited capacity and will sell out. Our ticketing staff will call you right back once tickets are officially issued. You can also look out for ticket competitions being run by our key media partners throughout September…
Enabling this landmark event to take place are our esteemed partners. Bacardi have shown commendable support for live music in China to date and step it up a level this October holiday. Converse are bringing their street-vibe, and ask you to bring your old Converse to be renovated by our team of graffiti and shoe artists. Also to be noted for their commitment to the cause are Roots & Shoots who are advising us on our ‘green’ facilities for the day, Pudi Boutique Hotel, Zeta Bar for the Beijing afterparty, Luxury Concierge China, and the guys at Neocha.
This October holiday the party is right here in Shanghai! See you in Zhongshan Park …![:zh]

无信念乐团在上海的中山公园
北京十跃迷你盛会，星光现场

10/03/2007 20:00 Faithless + DJ Youdai; 160/280/360 学生/预售/标准
上海十跃音乐盛会，长宁区中山公园
10/05/2007 12:00-22:30 Faithless, Talib Kweli, Ozomatli; 140/280/360 学生/预售/标准
这可能是上海近年来最强劲最大排场的国际性音乐节阵容－ 十跃音乐盛会（Yue Festival）已敲定10月5号在上海中山公园隆重上演。 这个将持续一整天的大型户外音乐盛会集合了中外著名现场乐队，国际阵容分别是美国拉丁跳舞音乐先锋、两届格莱美音乐奖最佳拉丁专辑得主 － 奥祖马特里（Ozomatli) 、美国现今饶舌歌坛翘楚塔利·魁力(Talib Kweli)以及开功隆重推荐的压轴乐队 － 来自伦敦被称为史上最有名的电子跳舞音乐传奇组合 － 无信念乐团（Faithless)。 在上海大型的户外音乐盛会开锣之前，三个乐队还将在北京的星光现场连续上演两晚的狂欢音乐派对。这将会是两个城市音乐迷绝对不容错失的音乐盛世。
上海是无信念乐团（Faithless)大型世界巡演的最后一站。在过去的半年来，已经有过百万的观众观看了该乐团的表演，他们在最近的英国巡演期间，仅三天内就售出超过54,000张门票。主力成员Sister Bliss曾经以个人DJ的身份来过上海打碟，在当时Shanghai Talk对她采访中，她就谈及十分期待与完整阵容的Faithless来到中国表演。
塔利·魁力(Talib Kweli)此次带着他第六张最新大碟Eardrum来到了中国。塔利·魁力(Talib Kweli)无疑是美国嘻哈界的传奇人物，曾经与另一著名饶舌歌手Mos Def共建的Blackstar团体让他身名远扬。最新大碟里他特邀中国观众十分熟悉的贾斯汀· 汀布克莱 （Justin Timberlake）演绎了一首曲目，甚至还跨界地请来了爵士小天后诺拉·琼斯(Norah Jones)对唱，完成了一个十分惊艳的合作。对于这次中国之行，塔利·魁力(Talib Kweli)表现得十分兴奋和期待：“能在一个随时可能会影响全球命运的大国里演出是何等荣幸的事。”
另外一支重量级乐队是两届格莱美最佳摇滚/另类拉丁乐队奥祖马特里（Ozomatli)。这支被Timeout 杂志称为“最佳现场乐队”的 九人大组合最擅长将嘻哈、摇滚、放克甚至是各种北非和亚洲民族乐器与其最拿手的拉丁音乐融合在一起，音乐内涵丰富，张力十足。难怪在他们的表演现场里，很快就能看到观众在热情沸腾的拉丁风情中载歌载舞的场面，到时候别忘了提醒自己，你并不是真的身处拉美的金色海岸。
北京现场将请到著名的先锋电音DJ张有待，据闻他是中国最早播放Faithless唱片的DJ！上海的“十跃”户外音乐盛会还请来了来自全国各地的本地乐队同场演出，包括了北京果味VC（SuperVC）和刺猬（Hedgehog）,新疆的IZ，来自云南的HIP HOP领头军李俊驹（MC Kirby Lee）和龙门阵(Dragon Tongue)以及两跟来自上海的香蕉 － 当红车库摇滚乐队香蕉猴子(Banana Monkey)与扎根上海的国际大军香蕉派对组合(Bananas Soundsystem)。
在上海的户外音乐盛会里， 余兴节目不止局限在大舞台！你可以抽身逛逛我们的“创意市集”，或者到百加得（Bacardi）现场空间 里，与我们的MC和DJ一起忘情舞蹈！
在此我们要感谢赞助商百加得（Bacardi）对中国现场音乐事业一如既往的支持，本次的音乐节更加倾其全力为观众带来了如此高质的现场乐队和大型的音乐盛事。而百加得还将会在中山公园内搭建起起全新的百加得现场(Bacardi B-Live Space)创意营地，里面将会有DJ打碟和MC说唱，为主舞台的精彩表演提供了一个全新的音乐互动空间。
我们的另一位赞助商Converse也实现了他们对于现场音乐支持的长久意愿，他们请大家把自己的旧Converse鞋带到现场，由我们的涂鸦艺术家，插画艺术家在上面尽情挥洒创意，大家在享受音乐之余能够经历一场不同寻常的文化体验。我们还要感谢Roots & Shoots 环保组织对于本次活动整体环保意识的指导，还要感谢上海璞邸精品酒店, 北京希尔顿酒店, Luxury Concierge China和新茶(Neocha)的鼎力支持。
为期两天的迷你音乐盛让北京观众有机会率先目睹大牌，Ozomatli 和Talib Kweli 以及本地DJ V-Nutz会在10月2日晚上8点在星光现场首次登台与中国观众见面，随后3号登场的 Faithless将诠释精彩的舞曲之夜。 两晚的After-party均会在北京希尔顿酒店内的Zeta吧上演，由来自台湾的Techno天王DJ @llen和上海的Banana Soundsystem继续派对气氛。
