The Antidote is a party.
The Antidote is a collective group of DJs / musicians / producers / booking & promotion agency.
The Antidote is based in Shanghai, China.
We host a popular monthly music event in Shanghai featuring live music and DJs. We also have regular monthly parties in several cities around China, touring DJs and bands. We also act as an agency for music acts coming to Asia. The Antidote also curates outdoor music festival stages in China.
History:
In early 2005, American DJ/promoter Michael "Ozone" and Shanghai-native designer/producer "B6" started a little monthly party called "The Antidote" at C's, a dirty dive bar in Shanghai. The Antidote brought a refreshing, DIY, renegade style party that blew open the Shanghai music and party scene. Since then, the crew has played around greater China, and has been featured in countless magazines, TV, radio, newspapers, and websites around the world, including BBC, Time Magazine, NPR Radio, and New York Times. The Antidote posters, designed by B6, have been exhibited in Asia, Europe and North America, including the Victoria Albert Museum in London. The Antidote crew now have at least two packed parties every month in Shanghai, plus several other cities around China, and play exciting and innovative new music that rocks dance floors and opens hearts and minds . and corrupts the youth.
2005年初，来自美国的DJ/派对推广人Michael "Ozone" 和上海本土的设计师/制作人B6开始在上海进行每月一次的小型Party，地点选在徐家汇附近一个由防空洞改造的地下酒吧C’s Bar。 Party的名字叫"Antidote"，原意为解毒剂。 如同其名，Antidote以新鲜、 独立而反叛的音乐风格，为上海的Party氛围带来了强力一剂。此后，Antidote的成员在中国各地演出， 并赢得了全世界各种报刊杂志、 电视、网络等媒体的争相报道， 包括国际主流媒体BBC和纽约时报。 而由B6设计的Antidote海报也正在英国的维多利亚艾伯特博物馆展出。 目前，Antidote每月在上海举办两场火爆的Party活动，让刺激新颖的音乐引燃舞池，让渴望音乐的灵魂沸腾。
