HAO (CN)

Possessing a duality of aquatic flow and rhythmic endurance, HAO’s hard-hitting selections have cemented him as one of the most exciting names in Chengdu’s burgeoning underground club scene. Deeply embedded in the creative hotbed of his home base Chengdu — a constantly evolving megacity charged with towering machinery and sky-scraping ambition — HAO has constructed a distinctive aesthetic that rushes with raw industrial power and delicate, emotive intuition. His blend of heavy, groove-laden techno is fast- acting and effective immediately — a potent concoction that has been proven to both transfix and transcend crowds into states of euphoric release well beyond sunrise. Resident at .TAG, HAO never fails to deliver sets of uplifting momentum and relentless energy. As a DJ and creative curator, HAO is also the leading force behind “Seafood Party”, an immersive techno party series that unites artists across a range of fields into a world of seductive visual and sonic submersion, providing some of the wildest, sweatiest nights in recent Chengdu club memory that have permeated deep into the hearts of the local queer community since 2016.
