MusicDish*China announced its role as an official media sponsor of INTRO 2010 - Beijing Electronic Music Festival being held on May 22th. Organized by Acupuncture Records, the festival, in its second year, will once again welcome and delight over ten thousand of China's electronic music fans by presenting world-renowned DJs, producers, and visual artists along with China's favorite local talent.

China has seen a thriving electronic music culture in the past decade and is gradually developing a strong local scene, especially in first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai. INTRO 2010 is set as a showcase for this growth, with a mixed line-up reflecting "who's who" in the industry.

"As the name suggests, INTRO festival is an introduction, a two-way introduction," said Acupuncture Records Managing Director Miao Wong. "It's an introduction to the Chinese audience as to what an electronic dance music festival is, as well as the spirit and culture behind it. Also, by bringing over international artists, overseas media and our industry counterparts, it's an introduction to the rest of the world of China's thriving scene and dedicated people making it happen... and eventually, will put China on the world's map of electronic dance music."
