Alongside audio-visual shows – from sound laser performances to high-powered projections – electronic music will be the focus and will be playing out loud under open skies until 11pm. As the day wraps up, “Intro By Night” moves the celebration to a warehouse party at “Intro Night Room”, with surprise DJs from the day session to keep the electronic marathon running.

“Intro 2009” is initiated by Acupuncture Records, China’s first and only independent electronic music label and a collective of the best local DJs. We believe that the power of music can transcend time, emotion, culture and language. For an entire generation, music increased the feeling of togetherness and helped overcome barriers. We see music as a vital element that forms a connection between all people, and electronic music is the sound of our era. The best demonstration is when people from all over the world gather under open skies for the sounds they love to dance without restraint and celebrate peacefully. As our motto says, “Ideas Need To Reach Out”, we long for a platform to express these beliefs, to showcase and support innovation in new electronic music and digital art. “Intro” is such a platform and is run by people who love life, music, freedom, art and alternative culture for people who love the same.
