After helming two of the wildest warehouse parties Guangzhou's Party Pier has ever seen – one this past summer and another for Halloween 2017 – the team at HIU are set to host a Christmas bash like nothing the city has ever experienced.
Part electrifying rave, part ‘carnival of fun,’ this event is set to blend romance, merrymaking and music, bringing about a contagious buzz that will keep you dancing, twirling, jumping and singing.
What can you expect musically at this holiday warehouse party? For starters: three top-notched DJs with Amsterdam-based label Barong Family. Additionally, some of China’s hottest hip hop acts will also take the stage.
