Hip Hop DJs in Shenzhen

The guy you see above doesn't spin hip hop, but he's a great DJ anyways. His name is Li Weiming and he spins at Ibiza (where I spin old school party hip hop about once a week) This article about DJing is the 3rd in a series on hip hop culture in Shenzhen. Unfortunately, I went away to Shanghai, so I couldn't go around and interview and get more action shots of the DJs. However, I was lucky to have the help of several friends, who did much of the writing in my place. Susan Buchanan, Darcy Fisher, and Roosevelt Faulkner: thanks! I did a bit of research about the history of DJing to get the facts straight for the introduction and learned a lot in the process. Check out this video about DJ Kool Herc for more!
