    Beijing's nightlife scene is quite cool but in my view it's still far from professional compared to other big cities. For instance, I miss the larger (house) parties outdoors. There are a few, but not as many as you might expect.

    What do you miss in Beijing's nightlife scene or what would be your suggestions for an even better scene?

  • Pete Mcbrostein (土豆泥)

    I wish there was less electronic music DJ's clearing out the dance floor in beijing.

    But yes i miss house parties in general

    Decent bars like First Floor & the Tree, where you can have a decent beer and music is not TOO loud.

    Clubs with different music.. They all play the same (Except for Lantern). A nice harddance place would be cool!

    I agree with Mya, real alcohol and coffee bars where they use real coffee and not hot water with coffee taste... hehehe

    @ Lynn: Your taste in music is awful, no one wants to listen to Minalist electro and bass & drum beats made by some teen on his MacBook Air.

    People enjoy music that actually has content and substance, not some repetitive sounds a german guy in a turtleneck thinks is artistic.

    I know I know you lived in Germany and started listening to these new hip beats after sound german guy in skinny jeans started saying all other music is shit.

    But in reality Minimal Techno / Drumm&Bass is worse than any song by even Justin Bieber.

  • Mini Passion

    Can you even point out Germany on a world map, 美国傻屄?

  • Pete Mcbrostein (土豆泥)

    Mini Yes Sir: I am excellent at Geography.

    I like germany, just hate this awful music craze that developed there.

    @ Pete, different people have different taste. If you don't understand that, you're an even bigger douchebag than I thought. If you don't like it, find another place (or tell Poeloe what it is that you miss in BJ)

    Blockquote@ Pete, different people have different taste. If you don't understand that, you're an even bigger douchebag than I thought. If you don't like it, find another place (or tell Poeloe what it is that you miss in BJ Blockquote

    see I refer to attitudes like this.

    Wow, Lynn has a different taste in music and clubs/bars than you. So shocking.

    And you know what's the beauty of all of this? Nobody forces you to go to the places that Lynn likes. So stop whining and hunt for a place you do like. And if you can't find it: open it. I'm sure you're not the only one with that taste.

    @Pete Mcbrostein please do NOT comment if you dont know a shit about me or minimal music. u can say my taste in music is awful, i respect that, but speaking on behalf of other people is quite childish isnt it? i think you probably need to get ur ass and mouth banged in Berghain to learn a proper techno education. lol no offense though

    every music has content and substance, its just a matter of whether you can understand it or not. and i acknowledge the pitiful fact that you can not understand that of minimal. dont worry, its not a big problem, u are just genetically impaired.

    no one ever told me other music are shit, neither did i ever said other music is shit, i just said some DJs are shit. i dont need you, or any person of that matter to tell me what music is good or not.

    again, no offence:3

  • Peter Stone

    Just open ur ears to all the kinds of musics. in all the esthetics, u find someone who do something qqualitative and interesting. never say never ;-) and never be close...

    @ "Pete mc bro" I can understand u... 15 years ago, i was completly close to electronic music. Then, i understand that the purpose of this music is not the "note"! the raw material is the sound and if u compose, u carve it...

    Oh! and about music in beijing, i m agree with "poeloe" the level is far from others big and not so big city ;-) They need to work the creativity and to practice more!!! But here, The question of creativity is a problem of society. Nobody ask u to have ideas. free minds are dangerous for the establishment. They ask u to copy well...

    Open ur mind, hang out, go to see plays and concerts, meet people...
