Jasmine Li
Shanghai based electronic music artist Jasmine Li has been DJing for over a decade. Due to her natural talent for music, skills, techniques and her signature sound, Jasmine Li has elevated electronic music in China and remains on the forefront of Asia’s contemporary underground house and techno scene. Hailing from Guangzhou, Jasmine is co-founder of Shanghai’s popular afterhours club Celia, committed to playing deep house, tech-house and techno. Touring both Asia and Europe, Jasmine graced the decks of iconic music venues and festivals; from Pacha Barcelona, to Elrow, Amsterdam Dance Event and Great Wall Festival, playing alongside the likes of Mark Knight, Dixon, Nakadia, Lexlay, Matthias Meyer, Kamara and others. When she’s not DJing or performing live, Jasmine can be found in the studio producing music, incorporating the traditional Chinese sounds of the Pipa and Guzhen into innovative electronic music.
Inspired by her father’s love for opera, Jasmine started her musical journey as a child prodigy at the age of 5. She first started playing the Pipa and Guzhen, after which she took part in the Guangzhou Opera for 12 years as the leading Pipa soloist. In her early twenties, Jasmine Li entered the world of electronic music. As much an electronic music enthusiast as an accomplished Pipa and Guzhen player, she started blending the traditional with the new, creating sounds not heard before. She was supporting DJ for Sasha and Paul Oakenfold’s 2004 China tour, and a series of club residencies between 2006 and 2013 followed, including Park 97, Dada, The Mansion and Midi Festival. Soon after, she made several appearances throughout Europe. She also featured in Asian edition magazines of Esquire Magazine and GQ.
In the summer of 2013, along with Patrick Podage and Them Waits, Jasmine Li released her first EP, ‘Everybody Wants Me’ on Lola Records. The three original tracks showcase her talent for creating deep, melodic tech-house. Remixes by Christian Lattner, Einmusik, Mario Aureo and The Tarumba Brothers followed. In 2013 and 2014 Jasmine was shareholder and resident DJ at Shanghai’s underground club Shiva Lounge. In 2015, along with Milano live performers Davide Franchi, Flavio Crinelli and Alessia Punzo, Jasmine Li initiated the concept Sparkling Elements, playing traditional instruments live on house and techno. The same year she became co-owner of Downtown Club and currently she is co-founder and resident DJ of Shanghai’s afterhours club Celia.
Jasmine Li knows how to enchant the crowd, whether during warm-up sets or in headlining slots. Her live sets are unique and constantly traversing different moods and genres. She is always moving forward and creating new concepts, without ever losing sight of her heritage. Jasmine’s inexhaustible creativity lead to exciting new music, and more new projects are coming up soon…

SILVERLINING
silverlining is initiated by Jasmine Li and Ebar as electronic music duo based in Shanghai, China. They are part live performance, part DJ set. East meets West, old meets new.
Jasmine Li is 15 years in the DJ booth and the top ranked female underground DJ in China, and formerly the proprietress of notorious Shanghai clubs - Celia, Downtown, Shiva Lounge. She's also a professional classical musician and a critically acclaimed virtuoso of the "pipa", a lute-like stringed instrument with over 2 millennia of Chinese tradition. After 6 years of conservatory, she has been playing professionally for 28 years, with 12 of them as first-seat pipa in the Guangzhou Opera.
New York's Ebar has 28 years of house and techno experience in the DJ booth and studio. He's had over a hundred releases on label ranging from King Street and Nervous to Sony and RCA, and played some of the rowdiest floors in the world. Along with being a festival promoter, industry executive, journalist, 3-time label owner, and vocal advocate of the genre, he's also a classically trained pianist.
Winter 2017 in Shanghai saw Ebar and Jasmine Li combine as silverlining, a proper pumping DJ tagteam (tech, deep, prog) interspersed with live amplified performances on the pipa + Ableton Push. This east-meets-west duology hasn't been done quite like this before in the electronic scene, and the ingredients are ripe for a fertile and creative gig.
silverlining just concluded their first tour including performances at:
707 – Bali, ID
Modissa - Zurich, CH
Summer Story Festival - Madrid, ES
Kitkat Club - Berlin, DE
Luxor Live - Arnhem, NL
The Lakehouse - Antwerp, BE
W Hotel - Shanghai, CN
silverlining是一个电子音乐二重奏总部设在上海，中国。他们是现场表演，部分DJ集。东方与西方相遇，老相遇。
Jasmine Li 在DJ台工作了15年，是中国排名最高的地下DJ，她曾是上海臭名昭著的俱乐部——西莉亚(Celia)、市中心和湿婆酒吧(Shiva Lounge)的老板。她也是一位专业的古典音乐家，也是一位广受好评的“琵琶”演奏家。琵琶是一种琵琶般的弦乐器，有着两千多年的中国传统。经过6年的粤剧音乐学院生涯，她已经从事了28年的职业生涯，其中12年是广州歌剧院的首席琵琶。
纽约的Ebar在DJ舞台和录音棚里有28年的House和 Techno经验。他已经发行了一百多张唱片，从《King Street》到《Nervous》，再到Sony和RCA，他还出演了世界上最吵闹的几部。除了是一名DJ和制作人，他还是一个音乐节推广者、音乐行业高管、新闻记者、3个唱片厂牌的拥有者、电子音乐的声乐倡导者，以及一个受过传统训练的钢琴家。
在2017年的上海冬季，Ebar和Jasmine Li共同出演silverlining，这是一个合适的DJ团队(tech, deep, prog)，穿插了琵琶 + Ableton Push的现场放大表演。这种东西方的二元对立在电子场景中以前没有做过这样的事情，而且原料已经成熟，可以进行丰富和创造性的演出。

Modissa——苏黎世, 瑞士
