Back in July Scottish Mike began ruminating over the year’s releases in a bid to get an early start on the preparations for the next edition of the We Are Shanghai compilation. Submissions for the next January release are now formally open!
We Are Shanghai is an annual compilation intended to provide the world with a snapshot of Shanghai’s eclectic music scene. By compiling – and not curating – a collection of as much music as possible from a single year, the release aims to represent the city’s musical output as a whole, allowing listeners to fully appreciate the diverse range of styles and genres found here. The end goal is to contribute to the city’s emergence as a nexus for global creativity.
You can check out previous editions here:
Volume 1
Volume 2
Volume 3
There are two submission criteria:
- Artists must be based in Shanghai and have a demonstrable history of involvement in local music.
- The song(s) must be original compositions released in 2014.
Submissions will be open through to the end of the year. You can send all submissions in WAV, AIFF or FLAC formats to Ivan at Twin Horizon:

Get on it.
