"Electronic music is very cool and groovy, making me see diverse colors and feel like dancing. The event is huge, amazing, beautiful and crazy. My childhood dream has been to perform on a big stage. As a local artist at this show, it's a dream come true," says Li.

He adds that China has been seeing a consistently growing fan base of electronic dance music (EDM). As he continuously works to bridge China and the world, Li believes such big international events will inspire and motivate more Chinese DJs and producers.

"It brings us more hope. The Chinese electronic music market needs time to grow, but we are on the way," says Li.

Wang Zhenqing, or Halo, shares similar sentiments with Li. As one of China's most prominent house music producers, the 28-year-old DJ could hardly believe the show was real until he was standing in the center of the main stage.

"I felt so honored, happy, and excited to be on that absolutely epic main stage and to witness all this happening. I even felt time stood still for a moment when I saw all the people come to the dance floor, get connected, stay together, and enjoy the show," says Wang.

For Wang, EDM is iridescent, immersive, and passionate with cool, refreshing sounds. He especially values the unique life experiences that such music has given him. As a versatile DJ, Li has staged various events in over 40 cities nationwide and is expanding his presence on the global stage.

"Chinese DJs at my age are like witnesses to the nation's rave and EDM festivals. As we grow together, we'll grow faster," Wang adds.
