Chinese Man

Despite the misleading name, Chinese Man is actually comprised of several Frenchmen--French DJs to be exact. The beat-centric collective also runs an independent label of the same name, geared toward total self-production. The hip-hop outfit spins a torrent of beats, breaks and funk, influenced by a wide variety of genres, including dub, reggae and jazz. Its inspired barrage of jams has made its way into several feature films, a major ad campaign and, of course, the hottest clubs in Europe and beyond.
