Date: Thursday, August 24
Time: 20:00 - 23:00
Location: Futian - OIL CLUB


Tired of work pressure, always want to stay away from busyness, but it is often difficult to achieve. Even on holidays, the flow of people is busy. Most people choose to escape in the virtual world and feel the scenery. At this point, one game — Forza Horizon — might be the ideal choice for us. Featuring driving exploration, this game transports you into the Mexican Horizon Music Festival for stress-free driving. And when you listen to the car radio in the game, you may be attracted by a special radio station – “Hospital”. This station might be your first exposure to Liquidfunk music. Liquidfunk is undoubtedly the best medicine for people to relax their tight nerves on the road. This subgenre of Drum & Bass, which began to emerge in the late 1990s and early 2000s, was originally known as “crazy bombing” DNB music has become the most unique style. Compared with traditional DNB music, Liquid funk pays more attention to emotion, melody and soft atmosphere. It generally creates a more peaceful and enjoyable musical experience by adding more melodic elements, slower tempos, and warmer timbres.

Typhoon (Typhoon) is the name of tropical cyclones in the Northwest Pacific Ocean, that is, in East Asia, and the origin of this name has become impossible to verify in the language blending and evolution of the ancestors of various ethnic groups in East Asia. The typhoon, born in the ocean and speeding to land, is just like an imported product of electronic music culture, bringing infinite energy from the far side of the sea to this vast and ancient continent. The abundant rain brought by the “typhoon” that began at the end of the 20th century nourished the first sprouts on this land, and now, the former sprouts have grown into dense forests full of vitality. The “Typhoon Story” series of parties set their sights on the mysterious continent shrouded in mist, which is also our hometown – East Asia. In this fog, we explore those familiar and unfamiliar Asian local scenes. When the typhoon passes by, you and I hear the lightning, thunder, and violent storm on the ancient land, that is the low-pitched sound of the sound system and the dripping sweat on the dance floor after nightfall. For the first “Typhoon Story” series of parties, we invited Ouissam, who used to run the Cliché label and parties in Hong Kong. In addition to Hong Kong, in the past few years, he has also brought his lively House/Disco Groove to various major events in Asia. The city’s clubs add to the splendor. Recently, he took root in Hanoi, Vietnam, and participated in the founding of Savage Club, which has made Asia and the world famous. At the same time, he also created Equation, an outdoor music festival for Hanoi that can rival Labyrinth in Tokyo and Oganik in Taipei.

More or less, I always feel that the Japanese have an inexplicable attachment to summer. Whether it’s animation or reality, everyone always has some memories of the coming summer at this time—of course, including the long summer vacation. The well-known bi-annual Comiket, this year’s summer show was held on the just past Meng Lan Pen Festival. The frequent holidays and activities at the end of summer have also made many people have a little more memory of summer. There was once a woman who liked to smoke on the rooftop. Before the end of summer, she made a famous saying: “Sure enough, what a good woman needs is cigarettes, rooftops… and fluffy clothes… (やっぱり…いい女には、たばこと屋上と…そしてヒヒラヒラ服だわね…)” Under the scorching sun, the boys and girls struggled forward to their secret base. The summer evening breeze blows on the cheeks, and at the summer festival and fireworks display, cheers and rhythm fill the air. At this moment, they forget the mundane affairs, the unfinished homework, and the punishment of their parents who sneaked out of the house… Here, they release their inner enthusiasm and impulse, and share with many fellow music lovers Looking back on the unforgettable summer time together, leaving beautiful memories and dancing footprints. Ready for the final bash? Doujinstyle sincerely invites you to a unique and unforgettable summer back-to-school fan music party! Even though it’s back-to-school season, our screening this time is going to show a show that takes place almost off-campus. The brand new Bang Dream sequel MyGO!!!, the story is just like the homonym of the team name in Japanese “Mizi”, telling the story of how two generations of bands formed and how they grew up in confusion.
