Metrowaves & XP new music club collaborate on a 3-day event aiming to connect musicians & artists from different electronic music scenes & groups.

Beijing Electronic Music Encounter (BEME) will be the first event of its kind, bringing artists and audience together from the live experimental music scene and the studio electronic scene — each of which is fragmented within itself.

This is a dialectic between headphones and PA, DJ and live, software and hardware, noise and music, dance and transfixion.

We will meet over three days, at three sites, for a curated cross-section of the hybrid form that “electronic music” assumes in 2012 Beijing. BEME will take place Friday TO Sunday, October 19 TO 21 at XP. On Friday, October 19 there will be an after-show event at DADA Bar, and on Sunday, October 21 there will be an evening ambient music session at Zajia Lab.
