Concentrating on his own music Mark embarked on the Global Communication project, along with Tom Middleton- making deep, ambient music, incorporating the emotional soundscapes that became a signature of their work.
Using a seductive 60s easy listening vibe combined with weird science Mark has produced some of the most interesting instrumental hip-hop to come out of the UK recently. Harmonic 313 has been characterized as funky, deeply emotional, and twisted - all the while guaranteed to get you in the groove! So be prepared for a live audio experience that will move parts of you that you never knew existed. Support by DJ Mael.

Simon Baker (UK, Get Physical)

After perfecting his craft since the early 1990’s, firstly as a DJ and more recently as a producer, (of what could be called Detroit infused Tech-house), the last year has contained a string of smash 12”s and a reputation that's snowballed well beyond UK shores, with DJ tours of North America, South America and Australia under his belt dates in Asia about to commence.

Simon's ubiquitous track ‘Plastik’ on Playhouse was voted #4 single in Resident Advisor’s tune of the year award. Holding down residencies at two of the UK’s most acclaimed underground nights (Asylum in Leeds and DDD in London), and touring through Europe’s finest clubs – Weekend, Watergate, Robert Johnson and Cocoon, Germany; Studio Martin in Bucharest, Droog (LA), The EndUp in San Francisco and Sullivan Room (NYC), Nitsa in Barcelona, not to mention The End and Below (UK), the Piknic Electronik festival in Montreal; Unit (Tokyo) and many more -- Mr. Baker caps off 2008 with a big splash in Beijing at the WHITE RABBIT!

Acupuncture Records hosts this special guest event; Huang Weiwei warms up the floor.
