XXX is living up to its goal to provide a home for people with diverse musical tastes. Thursday night there’s a live performance by DJ Spooky and the Hong Kong New Music Ensemble, followed by the third installment of Future Dancehall on Friday.
DJ Spooky’s in town for a major performance of his live film remix – Rebirth of a Nation, that we’ve written about previously.
The intimate Sound Unbound show at XXX features Spooky along with the New Music Ensemble in a rare live performance that you would normally only find in cultural capitals such as New York or London.
For those who haven’t yet been, XXX is literally an underground club, located in a former bank vault in Sheung Wan. If you’re looking to get far away from Central’s scene, it’s a great place to hear niche music that you won’t find in mainstream clubs.
XXX is BYOB, which means bring your own beer (or bottle). You simply pay the cover charge and can drink with your friends at the club all night. There are no alcohol sales on the premises.
Future Dancehall is a recurring night at XXX. The music includes all the varieties and offshoots of Reggae Dancehall music. The vibe is fun, and people are open to dancing to new music (which is unfortunately the opposite of Central.)
Both Thursday and Friday nights are recommended! Please note the early start time on Thursday night.
