It’s hard to believe that from finally finding the ideal venue to just three months of preparation and renovation, the sfot opening was held as scheduled on the day of Lichun (Spring Beginning). During this period, TAG‘s best new team had an incredible experience. Even before installing the main gate, everyone was having a blast at new home, T².
From 10:00 AM yesterday until now, 20 consecutive hours of high-intensity work have not left me particularly exhausted. There remains much to accomplish, and as in previous years, I look forward to meeting the new T² and my old friends who are like family!

I just came back from Hanoi @savagehanoi ，thans @ouissam.jpeg@di.linh.hn to invitation me to play for this amazing party. Friends from many countries，This is a very special time for me to feel the energy and community of Asia, it‘s warm and vibrant.
After the TAG was closed, I felt very sorry that it would be closed here in the near future. This house will in my memory. But I believe that as long as the community is there, a new Venue will be established.
Thanks to the Savage team and everyone who I met. 💗
.TAG最后两天的活动，老天给了我们最好的天气。
第一天我们再次看到了远处的雪山。并不是每一天都有幸可以看到它，只有当天气晴朗、空气清新的时候才能远望这片围绕成都的雪山。
第二天我看到了TAG开业十一年来最美的一次日出。太阳是一种希望的象征，希望它预示着接下来会有好运！
The last two days of TAG, god gave us the best weather.
On the first day, we saw the snow mountains in the distance again. It is not every day that we are lucky enough to see them. Only when the weather is clear and the air is fresh can we see the snow mountains surrounding Chengdu from afar.
The next day I saw the most beautiful sunrise in the 11 years since TAG opened. The sun is a symbol of hope, and I hope it foretells good luck ahead!
内心很平静的迎来最后两天。
12年前准备开TAG时，突然生活中就发生了很多变故，但是在经历了很多不眠不休的努力后，.TAG还是如愿的建立起来了。
11年的过程从来没有容易过，但于此同时我又在此收获了太多。很幸福很满足在这个水泥盒子里和大家创造了太多永恒的时刻，那些关于友谊、爱和成长的故事，将被封存。
在保利中心的最后时刻，同样的很多事又无法预料的接踵而至，虽然三头六臂已经习以为常，但是关于生命的命题启迪我，该开启下一页篇章了，慢一点、停一停。
最后两天，再一起看日出吧，相信希望永远都在。🌅
The final two days came with a calm heart.
12 years ago when we preparing to launch TAG, many unexpected changes suddenly occurred in life. However, after countless sleepless nights of hard work, TAG was finally established as desired.
The past 11 years have never been easy, but at the same time I have gained so much from it. I am very happy and satisfied to have created so many eternal moments with everyone in this concrete box. Those stories about friendship, love and growth will be sealed up.
In the final moments of Poly Center, many of the same things are unpredictable and follow one after another, like 12 years ago. Although I am used to high-intensity work, the proposition about life inspires me that it is time to open a new chapter, slow down.
Finally, on the last two days, let‘s watch the sunrise together. I believe that hope will always be there. 🌅

“一往无前 Keep Moving Forward ” – .TAG 11th Anniversary, Coming Soon! 💫
21-31 March at @tagchengduchina
In .TAG’s eleventh year of relentless progress, new challenges have tested our resolve, bringing moments of frustration. Operating an underground club in China doesn’t get easier with time or experience—new obstacles constantly emerge.
Yet despite these trials, we’ve achieved milestones over the past year and tirelessly expanded our horizons.Moving forward without hesitation!
We still cherish memories of the .TAG 10th Anniversary World Tour, the recent Spring Festival Marathon Party, and countless unforgettable nights. These moments of pure joy brought people together through music, forging deeper connections.
There’s no reason to abandon such beauty. We’ll pour our energy into keeping .TAG staying at the top of this tall building , rising with every challenge to greet each new sunrise alongside you all!
Thank you to every friend who loves and supports this place. 💕

Just had good time with @tagchengduchina and @minasuspension team in @planetamanas club Lisbon. Such good vibe and family feeling venue, and everyone doing good job yesterday. It was a legend night!
Finally arrived Berlin tonight for make .TAG 10 years Anniversary party at @ohmberlin , witch is my favorite club in Berlin. Thanks @interdimensional_jojo help me a lot for this gig. When I have trouble, I can rest assured.
Ten years is a milestone，Witnessed all the hardships of running an underground club in a special country like China. But I also have a loving home with like-minded friends, that’s how .TAG can continue.
It has to be said that Berlin was out of reach for Chengdu ten years ago. It is a pilgrimage site for the new techno lovers from China. Never thought that one day Chengdu and Berlin would be so close. And we finally could make all-night parties with the TAG family for the first time in Berlin.
So exciting for next Friday, It would be a special night for me, I will happy to see all Berlin friends can make it, can’t wait meet everyone in dance floor. 💓

Last but not least least, the fiery @hakkaellen , the flaming power behind @tagchengduchina over the past 10 years - it’s an honor to welcome her in our 3year old baby @planetamanas for this celebration.
Ellen is one of the pioneers of the rave scene in Chengdu and even in China. She is the director of the well-known club .TAG. .TAG celebrates the 10th anniversary under the leadership of Ellen, bringing many outstanding international artists to China, and also cultivating a large number of musicians and practitioners for the local Chinese scene. The HAKKABAR she runs is not only a lounge bar, but also a gathering place for music and community culture in Chengdu. It has a history of 12 years.She also founded the Yitóng Record Store, supported the venue and equipment for Chengdu Community Radio, catalyzed Chengdu’s culturally diverse atmosphere, and brought the impetus to a deeper development of the city’s music scene.As a promoter, she has led and held various forms of activities, which played a very active and important role in the process of Chengdu becoming an important town of electronic music. This year, she started a new project, Qiao Asia, with two friends who have also worked in the scene for many years, hoping to serve as a bridge to create more possibilities and encounters for the exchange of Eastern and Western cultures.
Set off for Lisbon tonight, which will be the TAG‘s first club night in Europe, To celebrate the tenth anniversary of .TAG.
