\u25ab Edison Chen \u9673\u51a0\u5e0c
\nBest known in the West for his roles in Hong Kong films like Infernal Affairs, Vancouver-born Edison Chen also put out a string of albums and mixtapes that blend rap and Cantopop. As a musician, he has collaborated with a roster of famous producers, including Sam Spiegel (N.A.S.A.), Grammy-winner James Fauntleroy, Brodinski, DJ Snake, and Nosaj Thing.<\/p>\n
\u25ab Re-TROS \u91cd\u5851\u96d5\u50cf\u7684\u6743\u5229
\nFormed in 2003 by singer\/guitarist Hua Dong and, singer\/bassist Liu Min, Re-TROS soon became a sizzling band in Beijing. Re-TROS, see themselves as a return to a lost authenticity, want to embrace the basic values from the bygone post-punk era. Once you take the first sip of Re-TROS music, you will find it easily they are inspired by the 70s post-punk ancestors like Bauhaus, Joy Division and Gang of Four. Their music is a renewal of post-punk which incorporated with synthesizers and evocative melodies.

\u25ab A Si \u963f\u8086
\nA self-taught guitarist from Shanghai, A Si started writing music in 2009, just one year after she picked up a guitar for the first time. In 2010, she began posting her music on the Chinese site Douban, where her song \u201cI Was Eating Fried Chicken in the People’s Square\u201d quickly made her name. In 2012, A Si signed to Modern Sky and her song \u201cSkimming Over the Surface\u201d was included on the compilation Modern Sky 7.<\/p>\n
\u25ab HHH \u7ea2\u82b1\u4f1a
\nHip-hop crew HHH takes its Chinese name, Hong Hua Hui (\u201cthe fellowship of the red flower\u201d), from Jin Yong\u2019s famous martial-arts novel The Book and the Sword. Founding member K9999 gave the group the name of the fictional fellowship to instill a sense of group unity and of an unstoppable battle to the end, and with these core ideals, HHH\u2019s star has quickly risen in China\u2019s hip-hop scene.<\/p>\n
\u25ab BRIAN HILL AND THE NOH STARRS
\nthe Noh Starrs is Brian Hill\u2019s love\/hate letter to New York, an exploration of his life and experiences in the city, and the anguish of having to leave it to love it. In his songs, he writes about surviving his first few years in the city, the surreality of New York City life, and the intriguing characters he met along the way both in New York and while traveling around the world: a stalker, a friend called Sarah, and the city itself as a living entity. The songs can appear manic at times and meditative at others\u2014just like the city makes him feel.<\/p>\n
\u25ab Calvin Love
\nThe gentle, supple poet whose aim is to elucidate humanity for the weary denizens of the weary world. He proves that in the form of cartoon darkness, there is a reality beyond that which is fully amenable to basic speech, and so must be corralled in a blind faith in a palette. All great artwork depends on a palette, on the choices that one makes in pulling the shades of that palette into one\u2019s control out of a sense of belief that I don\u2019t understand.<\/p>\n
