High Tone Sound System Dub Invaders China Tour

Date: Nov 12-13－10 pm

Venue: Dada (Guloudongdajia, Dongcheng)

Price: 80 yuan

High Tone, a trend setter in bringing dub music to a live audience, has become a household name on the European underground scene, touring extensively from Canada to China, from Poland to England, and playing small venues or massive festivals indiscriminately. The band continues to evolve through each new album and collaboration, melding influences inherited from hip-hop, drum&bass, dubstep, and maintaining its core techno sound, a signature touch since the start. The "High Tone sound" is fluid yet constant, innovative, experimental, but always with a strong psychedelic and hypnotic flavor.

Founded in 2009 with the release of the first opus and a sound-system tour, the entity Dub Invaders enables the members of High Tone crew to revive the original spirit of a culture that shaped, influenced and inspired them from their start.

Cross Cultural Views on Mental Health

Date: Nov 13－7 pm

Venue: The Courtyard Institute

Price: 50 yuan

Millions of people suffer from depression and similar mental health problems all over the world. In both China and in the USA this causes not only feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, but the way in which the community reacts to such illnesses can also be a way of glimpsing into differing cultures. While some reactions from friends, families, and medical professionals are nearly universal, others can be very different in a new cultural context. Join Qin Xiaojie and Marco Brun del Re for a discussion on depression, hope, and some of the different ways that Americans and Chinese tend to view mental wellness and illness.
