Venue: The Shelter, 5 Yongfu Lu, Xuhui district, Shanghai

Price: 60 yuan

Red Bull Music Academy presents Lost Cargo featuring Yosi Horikawa & Daisuke Tanabe. Chiba-based sound designer Horikawa is a man of miniatures: table tennis balls, kalimbas, shakers and insects all collide in his electronic concoctions, and it's the small details that make his music so unique. As a formally trained sound designer and soundtrack artist, he shows a deft hand at combining field-recorded sounds into something musical, often resembling a shadowy version of hip hop.

The flagship location of Paulaner Brauhaus Shanghai will once again host a crazy and authentic Fasching. Take the chance to let loose and dress up in outrageous costumes.

These crazy days are the perfect opportunity for people to stop taking themselves so seriously and party before the strict period of lent leading up to Easter. This event features an extensive and delicious all-you-can-eat buffet including all the best of German cuisine alongside traditional Fasching favorites. A free flow of Paulaner Beer, housewine, selected long drinks and non-alcoholic beverages is also included.
