Rainbow Disco Club, ALTER. Shanghai, and Redbox Asia, have banded together to bring on the party of the year for a two-floor takeover with one of the biggest names in dance music-get up close and personal with Dixon, pioneer DJ/producer and Resident Advisor favourite as he plays a rare and intimate show in Fallout Shanghai, decked out with a powerful TPI sound system on Friday 29th November.

 

Voted RA's DJ of the Year four times in a row, Dixon is a staple name in the house and techno music scene worldwide. When he entered the Berlin club circut in the early 90's, he established his name on the strength of DJing. Doing the residency rounds and building his career to reach a wider audience with compilation mixes, Dixon branched out into the global networks of the industry and got involved in management and label work. Founding the leading house music label Innversions - once under Sonar Kollektiv until its independence in 2005 - with fellow house veteran Âme. Together they sustained their distinct house sound and established an identity, at the same time breathing fresh air into its tradition with sonic innovation.

 

Dixon’s famous rework of Tokyo Black Star’s Blade Dancer knocked on the door, and already the second release, Âme’s future classic Rej EP, was breaking right through it. The following releases by befriended artists confirmed the almost instantly strong reputation of the imprint and within a short time it became obvious that this label had achieved something rare: it had created a sound and an identity that began to seep through the scene, affecting the music other labels recruited and released. While it was developed on the back of a long-running tradition, Innervisions kicked house back into the present focus, and many others were happy to join in, either again or for the first time. Dixon’s performances and the label’s releases share a number of recognisable values: an emphasis on rigorous selection, attention to detail and enduring quality.

 

Dixon will be gracing the decks of Shanghai's underground nightclub Fallout on Friday 29th November. Throwing an exclusive party across two storeys, one floor will hold a bar with a disco-funk-soul dancefloor, while upstairs will pump pure, unadulterated techno. Japan's Rainbow Disco Club is teaming up with the regional collaborative agency Redbox Asia and production group ALTER. Shanghai to curate an event that's sure to get you dancing all evening.
