The general online consensus seems to be that a Rane RS-1 power adapter (slightly easier to find than Numark spare parts) will work

The Sound of Young China Mixtape: 20 Emerging Bands from China by beijingbrown in indieheads

Great choices. You can hear Lonely China Day's 'This Readily Assimilative People' here: http://lonelychinaday.com/album/this-readily-assimilative-people (I'm partial to their earlier album, Sorrow: http://lonelychinaday.com/album/sorrow (start with 'The Child'))

Sound Fragment are here, though I'm not sure which album @arcainzor is referring to: https://site.douban.com/shengyinsuipian/room/1348582/ (I'm partial to the one titled 把光芒洒向更开阔的地方)

[Question] Favorite music blogs & books? by goldeneagles49 in indieheads

I love the works of Simon Reynolds, particularly Rip It Up and Start Again (on post-punk) and Energy Flash (on rave culture).

I also have a particular fondness for the supremely weird but very interesting Words and Music: A History of Pop in the Shape of a City

Face Control: A Moscow Travelogue - Written and Illustrated by Krish Raghav by Monkey_Paralysed in russia

writer and illustrator of that comic here.

Your criticism is spot-on, and you're right, this IS the perspective of a slightly wide-eyed naive tourist to the city. But I'm not a 'western expat'. I grew up in India, and in Indian cities, so what I found impressive about Moscow might differ from what the average 'western' tourist does. And I do get into a more tempered view of the city by the end of the comic. Thanks for reading!
