The Antidote is a group of digital musicians and DJs based in Shanghai, China. We hold a once-a-month music party in Shanghai, and occasionally bless other cities with our music. We started in the summer of 2005 as a reaction to the prevailing norms in modern Shanghai's nightlife and music scene. Thus the name "Antidote".

Most live music and DJ club events in Shanghai are outrageously priced, especially by local standards. Most Chinese college students cannot afford a day or week's salary to pay for a cover charge or one drink minimum. And there are few choices available that are not big-club, mainstream techno and house and hip hop, usually only with *foreign* DJs and often mostly foreigners attending.

So, Antidote parties are FREE to enter, and the drinks are cheap. And you're not required to wear a suit or reserve a table.

Our current regular venue is C's Bar. We love the atmosphere here. They were nice enough to let us come in on a weeknight and play our crazy weird music. God bless them. Antidote #1 had about 300 people pack the small bar. We played indie rock, punk, IDM, breakcore, left-field techno, trip hop, synthpop, and electro.

Because of the space and because it's 2005, most of our music is played using laptop computers and peripherals -- effects instruments, mixing consoles, and even home-made instruments. Some of our music is orginal live digital, some is DJ mixed live with various software. We are not just DJs, we are also recording artists. So we might be mixing in a song by our favorite artist, with something we've created at home in the bedroom or studio, or just live on the spot.

* Antidote's B6 and AMNJK have released new tracks on the Landscape 2 compilation double CD from Shanshui records -- including 24 other cutting-edge electronic music artists from China!

* More of our recent recordings available for listening on our myspace page.
