microshelter (4th birthday session) – Friday 17 July

microsounds crawling into your ears and washing your mind with rhythm and excitement. We tickle you and your feet with the need to buzz and hum.

4 years ago micro was established as the premier minimal art platform and is Shanghai’s most well known minimal house and techno event series.

It’s time to celebrate 4 amazing years of your joy, craziness and support. Thanks for that!

Hosts of the night are your micro residents BEN HUANG, B6, dji, SKINNY BABOU, plus TOOTEKOOL jamming with VLADIMIR – a special acoustic live performance between electronic music and semi-acoustic guitar. VJ Hean on microvisuals.

After the previous and very successful micro night at the shelter, we invite you to to welcome with us our special guest Nick Höppner – from the admired DJ and producer collective My My – a key player in the crazy Berlin Club Scene.

He will be supported by the Shanghai based micro residents Ben Huang, dji and of course tootekool.

For this occasion the venue will be transformed into a green micro art installation world. VJ Hean from Korea will be welcomed to create & expand the micro world.

My My is a group of producers and DJ’s which formed in 2003 during the rebirth of Berlin as an electronic music Mecca. Although they consider Playhouse to be their home label, they have also released on Circus Company, Aus and Ostgut Ton.

In 2006, their debut album Songs for the Gentle launched a tour of their Live show that has so far taken them to 20 countries around the globe, and they hope their second album, still in production, will take them even further.

Nicolas Höppner now balances his monthly appearances at the new Panorama Bar and Berghain with his role as label manager for the Ostgut Ton label, and studio work and touring with MyMy and as a solo DJ. http://www.myspace.com/justmymy

Since may 2005 micro has been the premier minimal art platform in Shanghai, a base where forms of expression collaborate: live music & live performance, visual & acoustic, with a focus on minimal house/techno sound & culture.
The micro name has worked in collaboration with the varying identities of different venues at each event: locations from Clubs to Creative Spaces.

we’ve spent days bargaining with electronic stall vendors, a lot of taxi time transporting strange tubing, and saying many “yes ok”(s) to random purchases of various green light lasers.

thanks to our installation artist Simon Husslein, for putting so much love into micro, with his first installation in China.

‘The Evil Twins’, Simon Husslein’s last exhibition in London. For more of his work check husslein.net.
