Read an interview with resident DJ Damian Kay taken from http://bar-rouge-shanghai.com/music

What is a music track that defines you ? Alan Braxe "Intro"

A track that defines the Bar Rouge ? Digitalism "Zdarlight"

A musical dream for the Bar Rouge: Daft Punk
What do you think about clubbing in general and specifically in Shanghai ? Things are changing in that people are starting to get bored with DJs here selecting too heavily from the international top 10. Clubs are doing better research for their booking than 3 years ago and we've started booking artists such as Basement Jaxx, DJ Falcon and, that's great, but this is only the beginning...

How has the music selection at Bar Rouge evolved since the opening ?
At the beginning, we were asked to play lounge. That worked very well and from that moment on we had a free hand in the musical direction because we were a hit! We have been consistently developing the Bar Rouge music with Philippe promoting Techno music here whereas I've been spinning house and hip hop.

In which musical direction is the Bar Rouge moving ?
All kinds of directions and all kinds of sounds. From a higher level to something more popular. I'd like to have more instrumental and vocal live events, electro and house too, and maybe some crazy hip hop battles. But what I really want to maintain is an honest and real enthusiasm for the music, whatever that music is. Who are some of the guest DJs this year ? David Guetta, Joachim Garraud, Big Ali, Dennis Ferrer...and some big surprises!!!!

What musical projects can we expect this year ?
Personal productions and Bar Rouge compilations.
