Listen to part i of the live recording from ERHUA's August 9th evening event @ Rhythm Space Toronto by Orkid. This wiggly wine + dance day party was dedicated to the uncles and grandpas who keep cool each summer by rolling their shirts up to ventilate full bellies. From Sanlitun’s Bar Street (RIP) to weekend gatherings at grandparents’ homes to plastic-stooled roadside skewer setups, join us in this ode to the sights, sounds, and flavours of Beijing summer.

About Orkid - Beijing was the city where Orkid (aka Ren) first discovered underground techno music. Sneaking away to ZhaoDai on Saturday nights, she would ride home in the early mornings on a Didi bike against the backdrop of a light orange sky, hair filled with scents of sweat, cigarette smoke, and glycol.

Orkid has since taken an approach to music that is sexy, silly, high energy, and genreless. In Orkid’s world, DJing is not a performance—instead, it’s a medium for creating connection rooted in people’s individuality, bringing them together as a collective breath of beats per minute on the dance floor.
