TAXX, Shanghai's New 3000 sqm Mega Club, Open Now
3000 square meters, 4D holographic projection and a 12m-long bar, plus the capacity to hold up to 3,000 people. It’s the same kind of atmosphere you would expect at a music festival, all combined in this incredible new venue in Found 158.
New Landmark in Shanghai
Since Found 158 opened last year, it’s received an influx of people who come to enjoy a unique mix of venues, offering everything from live jazz to authentic New York pizza, even magic shows. TAXX is one of the latest and most notable additions to the area.
Party Until Dawn in This 3000 square Meter Space
TAXX might look like another night club, but it's a lot more than that, think of it as a musical festival inside a mall. Perhaps the best comparison would be to a club called Berghain, which is the legendary holy grail of techno in Berlin, Germany.
What’s it Like Partying at an Indoor Music Festival?
When we say TAXX is like an indoor music festival, we’re not just talking about looks. It’s got a music festival-standard sound system, so the audio is louder and more HD than you’ve ever heard indoors before anywhere in Shanghai.
There are enormous LED screens and automatic lighting which work together to create a festival-style atmosphere.
Good Music, No Limits, No Rules
Most clubs in Shanghai seem to host either big name DJs or indie bands, but TAXX has announced that is has no rules when it comes to musical acts, as long as it’s good, it will work here.
The Art of Nightclubs
Yet another reason why TAXX is so special is the use of color (or lack thereof). In fact, it’s quite minimalist with Nordic grey colorings coating the walls.
“TAXX ME IF YOU WANT ME” is a bright neon light covering the staircase from the 1st to the 2nd floor. The contrast of this bright sign with the dull walls creates a sexy, industrial atmosphere.
4D Holographic Projection, A Work of Science-Fiction
High-tech 4D holographic projection is finally here (did you know that was an actual thing?). You could be tricked into thinking you’ve wandered into an IMAX cinema.
The effects were produced by Eric Prydz, who is one of the world’s most famous electro-sound scene producers. Coupled with the DJ’s music, it’s a totally unparalleled visual and audio experience.
12m-Long Bar
Don’t worry about having to fight fellow club goers for a bartender’s attention, their extravagant 12m-long bar ensures there will be plenty of space available.
TAXX also makes some special cocktails. The TAXX CEMENT series is made with all sorts of unusual ingredients, and that’s when the party really gets started!
