One night. One room. One chapter we won’t forget.

Live&Life — Live Set Electronic Music Festival has officially completed its first edition. ❤️

The recap only captures fragments of what happened that day.
The real memories live somewhere between the sound system, the machines, the lights, the crowd, and every moment we shared together.

From the first note to the final light,
thank you for being part of Chapter 01.

The full live recap is coming soon.

Meanwhile, we’re already looking ahead.

Live&Life II is now in preparation.

If you could bring one artist to our next Live Set stage, who would it be?

Tell us below. 👀

August 29, Shanghai.
The first chapter of LIVE & LIFE has come to a close.

From the moment the first synthesizer came alive to the instant the final beam of light faded into darkness, we finally brought to the stage what had once existed only in our imagination.

Live Set. Hybrid Live. DJ Set.

Thank you to @echonomist_music / @aalson_music / @cay__music / @ferkingge / @xeena.music
and to every person who stepped into the room and became part of this night with us.

The journey behind it was far more complicated than any photograph could ever show.
But when the music finally began, and the crowd stood before us,
every email, every flight, every piece of equipment, every contract, every late night, and every endless revision suddenly found its meaning.

LIVE & LIFE was never meant to be just another festival.
What we hope to create is a space where more people can discover that electronic music can exist beyond the DJ Set —
that there is another possibility, one that belongs to the idea of being truly live.

Chapter 01. Complete.
See you in the next one.

August 29, Shanghai. LIVE & LIFE 1.0 recap❤️‍🔥

From the first synthesizer to the final light fading out, an idea that once existed only in our heads finally became real.

Thank you ECHONOMIST / AALSON / CAY / FERKINGGE / XEENA, and everyone who came and became part of this night. Together, you guys made it unforgettable.

LIVE & LIFE is more than a festival. It is our attempt to show another side of electronic music — one that goes beyond the traditional DJ set and brings creation back into the moment.

a little milestone in my 18 :)

I used to travel around the world just to see the music and artists I love. This time, for the first time, I got to stand on the other side of a festival — watching an idea slowly turn into a stage, sound, and a real crowd right in front of me 🕺

Over the past few months, I think I finally started to understand that loving an industry and actually being responsible for things within it are two completely different experiences.

I used to think meeting artists I admire, going backstage, and getting to see a bigger world was the cool part.

But when people started trusting me with real responsibilities, I realized that what actually makes you grow isn’t who you get to meet — it’s what you learn to take responsibility for.

When you send an email, you’re no longer only representing yourself.

When something suddenly goes wrong with an artist, your first reaction can’t just be to panic — you have to figure out what happens next.

Miss one detail on a rider, and it can become a very real problem on show day.

When ticket sales aren’t where you hoped they would be, it’s not losing a few points on an assignment — it’s real money, real pressure, and real consequences.

And when show day finally comes, everything that has lived for months in chat boxes, contracts, spreadsheets, calls and meetings suddenly has to become real within just a few hours.

A lot of the time, there’s no standard answer. And no one is always going to be there to fix things for you.

I’m really grateful to VØLT & FORNAX 🩵

More than the people you introduced me to or the artists I got to meet, I’m grateful that, even when I didn’t have much experience yet, you trusted me enough to give me real things to work on — and gave me the space to learn through making mistakes, solving problems, and slowly growing into the responsibility.

And thank you to everyone who helped turn Live & Life from an idea into something that actually happened on 08.29 🤍

First festival, first real milestone.

A lot more to learn, a lot more to build 🪨
