New Releases: Xiao He & The Nursery Rhyme Project, Pumpkins, Mengzhumeng, and more...

Where we cover egg punk, nursery rhymes, some shoegaze, and among others, an artist which has been a major influence for one of us at the beginning of their China years, and a band that is arguably the best live act in China today.

We always try to include links to Bandcamp and/or Spotify, however in some cases the tracks have not been uploaded there. We will try to update if artists let us know there has been a change.

 

About us:

The mission of the Live China Music Podcast is to shed light on Chinese music, providing listeners with insights and information on the Chinese music scene that they would not be able to obtain elsewhere.

During more or less 30-minutes episodes, Will and I review and discuss 4 to 6 tracks per episode, featuring audio clips of the reviewed songs. The songs discussed have been released less than a month prior. There is no musical genre excluded, but the editorial focus will be on emerging artists, even though on occasion established or legacy acts can be featured if the track is particularly noteworthy. Only artists living in China are reviewed in this program.

We systematically sign waivers with the artists or their label to ensure we do not infringe their copyright.

Hope you'll enjoy and please support by sharing around, don't hesitate to reach out by finding us on instagram (livechinamusic or zefrenchvillain) or writing to [e-mail]
