China's biggest indie record label just threw their first electronic music festival last weekend in . This came two weeks after their annual Strawberry Festival, in the same place. Same, same but different. MYST represents the label's foray into large scale electronic music festival promotion. The kids like their DJs...
In the few days after the event, opinions we've heard on the fest range from the "not that bad" to "the beginning of the end for Modern Sky". One young woman on the train ride home complained how "like, all the DJs but one played a remix of Galantis." Objectively, attendance was super low. We're talking maybe 2-3k on Sunday, when the cold rains poured down hard. Rough break on the weather.
In the interest of looking back in a city that always looks ahead, here's our take on the good and the bu hao at MYST.
