:: since 2007, the Neocha team has been dedicated to supporting China’s creative community through our online platform Neocha.com, various online and offline events, and ongoing projects / collaborations with commercial entities in China and abroad.
In late 2009, we launched NeochaEDGE to communicate our consultancy offering and more effectively showcase to the world the very best, local creative content and talent in China that we work with on various client efforts. As an extension of that commitment, we are excited – thrilled, in fact – to announce the next phase of NeochaEDGE: the EDGE Creative Collective.
Please note that this is just the “soft launch” (whatever that really means) of the EDGE Creative Collective (aka: ECC). Over the next few months, expect to see ECC continuously grow and evolve with fresh talent and new creative disciplines.

:: over the past few weeks we’ve been posting time-lapse videos of the live art performances from Search for Creative City (寻城记), an event that NeochaEDGE collaborated on with the Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC). Since the graffiti writers who participated in the event are pretty much the best Shanghai has to offer in terms of street-art, we pulled them all together in a single post for everyone to enjoy. Link here to see time-lapse videos of pieces by Dezio, Popil, Mr. Lan, SAIL, AEK, Lamian (拉面), Shier, and HKER.

:: the acoustic guitars, harmonicas, and this retro Hohner Melodica came out recently while I was picnicking in Shanghai with friends. One of those friends was Zhang Feng (张峰, aka Bono), the frontman for the well-known Shanghai-based indie rock band Banana Monkey. See below for a short video catching Zhang Feng play a few crowd-pleasers, namely (and in order) Qi Qin’s The World Outside, Wang Fei’s One Little Wish, Luo Dayou’s Childhood, Qi Qin’s Sometime Around Winter, and Eric Clapton’s Wonderful Tonight.
If the VIMEO video loads slowly, try viewing it on Tudou. For more from Banana Monkey on NeochaEDGE, link here. For more from Zhang Feng on NeochaEDGE, link here. // AjS
