Chengdu Rising and The Future Of Live Streaming
In episode 19, Shannon takes a look into how the music industry in China is having to readjust and pivot post Covid. She also explores the safety precautions clubs are taking now that dance floors are open for partying. With Chengdu rising out of lockdown, owners Choo and Big Loco from Axis Club and Aymen who organizes the International bookings at the legendary .TAG, chat with Shannon about what the new normal looks for them in nightlife and what the future has in store for them post COVID-19.With mass travel ban restrictions in place for countries around the world, musicians, DJ’s and artists have lost their ability to tour internationally, which is a vital revenue stream for both clubs and talent. Luckily, livestreaming has become a great solution for everyone. Now, talent can be broadcasted from their bedroom or even from inside an empty club for fans to stay connected and party. It’s also been a lucrative way for DJ’s and musicians to receive income as fans can donate money to talent during the event. What else can be done with livestreaming technology to create a fun and interactive club experience for folks in lockdown until we can return to the dance floor here in America? Travis Scott’s recent VR tour with gaming platform Fornite was literally “astronomical” as fans could listen to the rapper perform songs in real time while they danced and interacted with other players. Could partying in augmented realities be the near future for dance floors globally?Patrick McGowan who owns TechSound, a sound engineering and live event coordination company in Shanghai, chimes in on what he’s been doing with his team in bringing innovation and technology to nightlife clubs.Follow Shannon - @shannon1DJ (Insta & Twitter)Follow Axis on Insta - @axis.chengduFollow .TAG on Insta - @TagChengduChinaRead .TAG's RA Interview - https://www.residentadvisor.net/features/3700Follow TechSound - https://www.facebook.com/TechsoundSH/BE APART OF THE PATREON COMMUNITY - https://www.patreon.com/clubmanagement1
