Just thought I'd hop on here to see if there are any people that listen to underground hip-hop(not that radio mainstream BS you hear all over the radio, MTV, etc.), Reggae, DnB, psychedelic trance, house or some good breaks, or what not.
I noticed there are not a whole lot of venues that play some real good pure music in HK. Just looking for a crowd whos into the types of music listed above lemme know folks!

Are there any venues at all?

I would like to listen to some underground hiphop and reggae. But I don't think there's a venue which plays them here. Ever notice that even the mainstream hiphop/pop music they play in the bars are, like, from several years back?

lemme know if anyone finds anything!

What's up Cali You came to the right place. Drop plays underground hip-hop on Friday night I believe. You'll hear J5 and Slum Village n stuff like that...so I hear anyway. I met the guys who run it a few weeks ago. If you like reggae, there's only one place to go really - Club 97 on Sunday nights. If you guys wanna check it out, I'm definitely down to organize something. Can't really go to Drop cuz I work all day Saturday. Such are the disadvantages of having copious quantities of free time during the week. I like dancehall and drum and bass too.

Oh yeah...this girl I met last night said Dragon I had really good old school NYC house last Saturday. Don't know if it's a regular thing though. Went to Dragon I last night to see DJ Premier...went with two of my friends, both Chinese-American from California (LA and the Bay area).

I feel your pain life enjoyer - it's tough - the only thing I have found that is even close to this is Raggae night Sundays at 1997 in Lang Kwai Fung - they play a fun mix of dub, rocksteady and roots - good vibe in there too - perfect way to start/end the week!

What time does that 1997 nite start? Could someone tell them to put some sofas in there.. Sundays = Sofas!! d'oh!!

[lifeenjoyer]

Yes we can definately get something set up Jay, that would be hella cool man. DJ Premier at Dragon-I? you talking about Premier from Gang Starr or a different one?

[pcarr]

Gets going about 1030/11 - there was a fair amount of free sofas when I was there last.... I gave up on hearing any decent electronica although I heard Yumla sometimes has decent drum and bass nights?? Apparently there used to be a few outdoor parties in Lamma/outlying islands in the summer - you can always live in hope
