china.wav is an event series by RADII highlighting an alternative wavelength of Chinese underground culture you never knew existed. china.wav spotlights the best of China’s rising music and artistic talent, amplifying their voices to the rest of the world.
The first ever china.wav event took place on May 3, 2019 at El Cid on Los Angeles’ Sunset Boulevard. Performing to a full-house that night were Bohan Phoenix, Faded Ghost, MC Tingbudong and Kai Luen.
Since then, we’ve gone on to hold china.wav events featuring DJ wunderkind Gouachi, live immersive art group Tian Tuan, and a collaboration between blind violin virtuoso Zhang Zheyuan and electronic producer Laughing Ears.
Our latest china.wav event took us to Yunnan on November 27, 2020, where we joined forces with S!LK and Yeti Out for a night featuring Puzzy Stack, Tom Yeti, and NoMercy at Dada Kunming. Scroll down for more on that.
