3/7 JUE | Music x Lost Manual: Hangzhou New Noise
[:en]Hangzhou New Noise is a platform that showcases Hangzhou’s local creative talent, including everything from music to theatre, art, literature and design. The initiative was first conceived in Beijing back in 1997. Beijing New Noise helped to bring together a bundle of local musicians, who eventually laid the foundation of what is now the center of the country’s music scene. In 2007 Post-Beijing New Noise hosted another musical pilgrimage re-affirming Beijing’s position as the hub of China’s edgiest musical movements (though other cities now are certainly competing). [:zh]“杭州新声”里都是这些年来一直活跃在杭州本地的年轻人，这些年轻人根植于这座美丽的城市，用包含音乐、戏剧、艺术、文学、设计等不同形式努力发声。 1997年，“北京新声”被第一次提出，那个时代造就的音乐人我们已耳熟能详，2007年，“后北京新声”携着青春的破碎与美好，来势汹汹，北京，成为外地追梦者的心灵朝圣地。 [:]
3/21 & 22 JUE | Music + Art 2014: Blak Twang China Tour
[:en]Having released classic albums now lost to corporate slapsticks and an apathetic UK scene that’s struggled for a long time to get back into gear, Blak Twang remains undoubtedly a cornerstone of UK hip-hop. Also known by the name Tony Rotton, this boy is as British as bangers and mash, holding down South London via Birmingham and Manchester. A perennial stage and festival rocker, Twang’s standing stretches back to his revered LPs from the 90s. Blak Twang’s no nonsense lyrical genius features classic Briticisms, inspired by life in the big smoke. [:zh]90年代出道， 并发表过多张经典专辑的的Blak Twang， 堪称英国Hip-Hop的指标性人物，真名Tony Rotton的他，在自己的说唱音乐里表现出来的是彻彻底底的英伦风采。无论是在南伦敦，伯明翰还是曼彻斯特，Blak Twang都有很强大的号召力，并经常在音乐节上有精彩的表演。毫无疑问，Blak Twang是个百分百的狠角色！[:]

3/8 JUE | Music + Art 2014: MONSTER CAT in Beijing
