MUSIC: Aside from the fact that their bathrooms are horrifying gates to the lower circles of Hell, Li Po Lounge can be loads of fun. And the Chinatown hood is even more fun when it's paired with top-notch DJ sounds. Take, for example, Brooklyn producer Matt Shadetek, who will pump out dubstep, dancehall, and hip hop-ish sounds at this tiny little club that could. Epcot & Salva, Grime City DJ Subtek, resident DJ Staypuft also hit the decks. Find out more, right here.
