Michael Ohlsson, Founder & Owner, Antidote & Dada Bar

EARS on Helsinki speaker Michael Ohlsson is the Founder and owner of Antidote, a party brand and booking agency based in Shanghai and Beijing, and focused on Asia — firstly Asian talents, and secondly on bringing international talents to Asia. Antidotes goals are to develop a more diverse, creative and robust music and nightlife industry in Shanghai and Beijing, providing something more than just crass mainstream entertainment.

Although mostly known for working with electronic producers and DJs, Antidote also works with rock bands or experimental music. Dada is a venue opened to use for creative culture community events like China photographer nights, indie fashion markets, local filmmaker nights and of course DJ parties.
