I'd have to agree with Robert here. Hong Kong's music scene is
pretty grim unless your tastes extend no further underground than the
N'Sync, and IDM is more or less non-existent. Digital Cutup Lounge
is indeed a good bet, though. I caught them a while ago at the Jazz
Club in Lan Kwai Fong, battling it out with a live jazz band. Pretty
good stuff. If you do happen to find anything of interest
while you're in Hong Kong, I'd love to hear about it.
Good luck,
Andrew
