Tonight sees the national final of the DMC World DJ Championships at Zhijiang Dream Factory. The best scratchers and beat jugglers will be going all out to impress for their chance to represent this great nation at the world final later in the year. Aftershow party is at The Shelter. For a mellower evening, check out LAN's sangria night.

Tomorrow, the weather is still stuffing up pool season, so no Mumm by the Pool. Instead, suck up some brutal black metal at Yuyintang. In the evening, there's more turntable tricks as DJ Inquisitive, one of the most technically superb Asian DJs, blasts Muse, or you can hit up new night Chokabloc at Not Me for electro-tinged crack house. And if that's not the best name for a new genre, we'll eat our pipe. Psy-trance fans should head to Petals where Beijing's havn'in Goa Productions crew will spin glow-stick friendly anthems.

Sunday, we might pop past Southern Belle for a barbecue and some al fresco country tunes with Shawn Watters, before heading to our pick of the weekend, Brainwave Communication a night of experimental live sounds at Yuyintang.
