DJing on a Pedestrian Overpass in Chengdu

Last night at 8pm there was an impromptu public party on a pedestrian overpass in Chengdu. It was really fun, and lasted for several hours. This is the kind of thing that you can get away with in China that would be difficult or impossible to do anywhere else.

We just arrived with a car battery-powered DJ setup on the bridge and started playing music. You can’t beat summer time.

US Olympic Team DJ Set

U.S. Express – Real American

I was contacted last week about DJ’ing in Chengdu at an Olympics-themed event that’s featuring DJ’s from 8 different countries. Naturally, I’ll be there repping the US. Since I already have my flag and bandana ready to go (from Big Love Music Festival), I agreed to participate right away and began thinking about which songs to include in the ultimate set of ironic DJ patriotism. Here’s what’s on the playlist so far:
