A couple of month later, Chen Song, drummer of Crystal Butterfly, one of the best Shanghainese bands, joined the line-up. At the beginning, The Dropkicks used to play on a regular basis in 4 Live untill its closure. Since then, they rocked the scene of the best underground venues in Shanghai, from Live Bar to Yuyintang.

TRIX ( Can) :
Dj Trix Ryan Trix aka Shaolinpunk is a Canadian DJ, Producer, Artist-you name it-. He is also God’sKitchen’s resident DJ in China and everybody’s favourite 24 hour party rocker. Each week Dj Trix plays to a full house at Club Bonbon, home of Godskitchen (UK) in Shanghai, alongside such names as Claude Von Stroke, Mark Farina, Audiofly, Colette,, Sharam Jey, Demi, Jamie McHugh, John Askew, Steve Mac, Andy Moor, Gavyn, Max Graham, Dj Sneak, Slacker and Eddie Halliwell , to name a few. Trix arrived in Shanghai in 2005. Originally from Victoria, Canada, his career began in the mid-90’s playing warehouse parties in his hometown where his sound ranged from Tech House to Electro and Breaks. His deep affair with Asia was sparked in 2002 when he traveled to Taiwan where he quickly became established as a headline Dj and event organizer. Trix joined forces with Taiwan Dj’s Saucey and Coffey to form the heavily influential Connect Crew, and successfully brought in top international acts including Derrick Carter, Timo Maas and LTJ Bukem. During his 3 years in Taiwan, Dj Trix held successful residencies and headlined many clubs in Taipei, including 2nd Floor, and Luxy, Boven, Room 18, Whiskey, and Bacchus. International bookings became more frequent and Dj Trix made his first appearance in Seoul, Republic of Korea, where he rocked another sold out show, and re-ignited his deep interest in travel and Asian culture which has since brought him to Shanghai, People’s Republic of China. In Shanghai, Dj Trix teamed up with Dj Tootekool (DE) and organized the original Micro parties where he extended his music style and range, evolving his sound to strike the right chords deep at the core of the underground music scene in Shanghai. Around the same time, Dj Trix began securing recurring nights at Shanghai’s top venues including Park 97, Viproom, Guandii, Mint, Fabrique, Dkd where he continued to refine his Electro Tech style and build a firm footing for the future sound of Shanghai. In 2005, Dj Trix, along with Dj Carl Lorimer (US) and Dj Kingpin (Aus) jointly established Union Music to promote their popular monthly residency at Club Dkd. The huge success of the Union nights have paved the way for recurring events of a larger scale at Club Bonbon, where the affliation with Godskitchen (UK) has made possible the introduction of many international acts to China’s most cosmopolitan city: Shanghai. It also lead to a nationwide tour throughout the Middle Kingdom When not playing to Shanghai crowds, Dj Trix is hard at work planting the seeds for future generations of China club and party people. He is frequently touring and playing to packed clubs in many diverse parts of China. He is currently working on the production front of things with good freidn and fellow DJ, Slackerton on a live dance act which will be turning heads in 2008.
