Live China Music Podcast — Discover China's Indie & Underground Music Scene
English-language weekly/biweekly podcast exploring new music from China's vibrant indie, alternative, rock, electronic, punk, experimental, hip-hop, and post-punk scenes.

We're in the thick of summer and we've got some new tracks from China to keep your cool! We jump headfirst into the long awaited debut LP from Shanghai sound explorers Dizang, as well as the 'easy listening' laid back aura of Run Run Run, off the new wonderful compilation from Space Fruity Records. The summertime vibes continue as we check in with two of SJ Records freshest releases - the always bubbly and evolving Zoogazer; and the young and volatile Red-Haired Youth Murder Case. Finally, we gush over the beguiling new release from Muk Lau Yan - made up of members of seminal indie acts Snapline and Queen Sea Big Shark. So grab a cold one, crank up that AC and let the LiveChinaMusic Podcast give your refuge for the next forty minutes.
