Welcome to the inaugural installment of MusicDish China Sounds presented by Metal Postcard Records. A monthly podcast hosted by Hong Kong-based Sean Hocking, MusicDish China Sounds shines a spotlight on China's independent music scene emerging in cities like Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai.

In this inaugural installment, we focus on some bands that have impacted Hong Kong in 2009, including Time Out favorites Chochukmo and ST, A/V duo Volt In Music, SXSW-bound DP, Lona Records' A Roller Control as well as Shanghai-based Liman.

	A Roller Control: Story Of The Fly Hong Kong band headed up by Alok of Lona Records. A man with impeccable taste. This track reminds us of the days when Cabaret Voltaire, Mute Records and pre pop Human League ruled the roost.
	DP: Supermegadon Hong Kong's funky metal duo look like the banana splits on holiday in New Zealand with the Lord of the Rings. Think early Black Sabbath and ZZ Top thrown in the blender with Lemmy. Heavy & funky. They've been accepted to play SXSW this year. The first time ever for a Chinese band
	Volt In Music: Ghost New electronic audio visual duo from Hong Kong who have been playing for only a year. Full and organic orchestral electronica that tugs at the heart strings. They'll be releasing their debut on Metal Postcard records and will in June be presenting an audio visual performance that features a new midi instrument invented by VIM founder Chris Honhim.
	ST: Lottery Players vs Games Console People Time Out Hong Kong's 2009 artist of the year. DJ Shadow and the Aphex Twin are major influences. This song tells of two generations in China through sound. The oldies gamble away whilst anyone under 30 can't be pulled away from their Playstation. He's a man of mystery and won't share much of a public profile
	Chochukmo: Tell Her (Laura I Love Her) The winner of Time Out (Hong Kong's) 2009 make an album competition. Indie math rock with a nod to Radiohead
	Liman: Dirty Party Shanghai's new electro king parties like there's no tomorrow. His debut released in 2009 is strongly influenced by Paris' Ed Banger label and will keep you up all night and the next day.
