DJ Lucy runs Ting Ting Disco back in Shanghai a DJ movement playing deep disco, italo disco, space disco, boogie and cosmic funk. Although having the core of his set to be disco, DJ Lucy believes that a DJ set must be arranged in such a way, Just like a movie, the audience needs to feel different music styles across the night.
