During Spring Festival in Chengdu, one thing is certain: the annual Spring Festival party series — culminating in a 38-hour non-stop marathon.
What began eleven years ago as a small gathering within the circle has grown into an indoor music festival capable of drawing top-tier artists from around the world. Each year, the Chengdu Marathon Party stands as one of the most anticipated traditions in the scene. What people look forward to isn’t just the duration, but something intangible that can only take shape in that specific moment.
It stands apart from the kind of hollow, champagne-soaked indulgence often associated with nightlife. On nights like these, something more grounded stirs beneath the surface. A shared community forms a kind of bubble, cradling these diamond-like waves of emotion. Like a resonant chamber, it ensures that every inexpressible feeling spilling from the individual doesn’t dissolve into nothingness.
This episode features a highlight from Sanyo’s standout performance at the Chengdu Marathon Party.
Sanyo shares dance music through both DJing and event organizing — expressing a personal understanding and imagination of what the dance floor can be.
