HAO, .TAG resident from Chengdu now based in Berlin, is one of the defining figures of China’s underground scene. As founder of the Seafood party series, active since 2016 and now relocated to Berlin, he has built a platform that merges club culture with art and fashion. Seafood has appeared at Planeta Manas in Lisbon, WHOLE Festival in Germany, and Equation Festival, extending its influence well beyond its Chengdu roots.
HAO’s reputation accelerated with a viral Boiler Room set and recognition from Mixmag as one of the “Top 24 Artists to Check Out in 2023.” His performances at Watergate, OHM Berlin, and international festivals reveal a versatile sound that spans techno, acid, breakbeat, electro, trance, and ambient explorations, always balancing intensity with emotive depth.
Beyond the booth, HAO collaborates with brands like Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Calvin Klein, and has provided soundtracks for designers such as Ambush, Windowsen, and Xander Zhou. From shaping Chengdu’s scene to connecting with international audiences, HAO continues to expand his reach through transformative parties and powerful performances.
