Space Panda is back at La Barra on Friday, August 8 with another edition of their Essentials party—and this one’s going to be big. They’re bringing in Dirty Class, one of China’s OG electronic music pioneers, for a night of global grooves and underground vibes across two stages. Expect a full-on dancefloor takeover, nonstop energy, and a crowd that actually came to party.

Dirty Class has been doing his thing since way before electronic music blew up in China. He’s known for blending traditional Chinese instruments—like the Dizi flute—with modern electronic production. His breakout track CHINA basically went viral in 2016, racking up billions of streams and getting airplay around the world. These days, he’s pushing into Afro House, still keeping that East-meets-West sound alive, and releasing under the Tribal Chief Records label. Whether he’s in Shanghai or New York, his sets always deliver.
