Electronic music has literally taken China by storm in the last few years.With big name festivals like Ultra and corporate partnerships between companies like SHFT and Budweiser,the genre has come into its own in a big way across the country.But one city in the PRC has had its hat in this race for much longer,with a budding underground scene in the works for nearly 10 years.From drum and bass to experimental deep house,Shenzhen has played host to some of the most progressive electronic artists in the world,and become a home for a family of DJs cultivating their own craft.And while the city’s reputation has only grown stronger,one of Shenzhen’s more memorable appearances on the international circuit came back in February 2016,when Vice,The Guardian and China Daily picked up the story of a rave busted by the police in a tunnel next to an IKEA in Nanshan District,where 491 individuals were detained and 118 tested positive for drug use.
