七年前，.TAG 带着“To Antoher Galaxy”的理想在保利中心横空出世。那时，这座魔幻大厦刚刚落成不久，谁也未曾料到它在未来会成为成都地下音乐场景的一座意义非凡的纪念碑。
Seven years ago, .TAG was born out of the ideal of "To Another Galaxy" in Poly Center. At that time, this magic building had just been completed, and no one would ever expect that it would bear extraordinary significance in the underground music scene of Chengdu in the future.

七年之后，.TAG 依然暗自响彻在 21 层的角落，用频闪暖光和浓厚烟雾迎接舞客的到来，用友爱的氛围将大家包围。都说七年之痒，但当我们站在七年这个特别的关口，却只感受到七年之沉淀与历练所带来的喜悦和自豪。
Seven years later, .TAG still echoes in the corner of the 21st floor, welcoming the ravers with smoke and flashing lights, and surrounds everyone with its homie vibe. Instead of the seven year itch, we actually feel more joy and pride brought by these past seven years’ unparalleled experience.

The Power House of Rave
·为锐舞发电
七年时光里，这个寄托了我们的热爱与坚守的阵地经历了起起落落：2014年，.TAG 以更纯粹的4/4拍和更加速脉搏的 BPM 快速占领了成都年轻人的夜场生活；2017年，无奈遭遇了物业的大规模停业整顿；2018年，成熟的海外音乐人纷至沓来，一度每个周末都少不了国际嘉宾的助阵；2020年初，策划、筹备数月的豪华阵容春节档，因为 COVID-9 的突发而不得不偃旗息鼓；2020下半年，全球交流斩断后，头一次自力更生的 clubbing 场景却呈现出野蛮生长的态势，无论是 DJ、promoter 还是 club-goers 都展现出表达热情、专业样貌与多元取向…… 在四周年的时候，我们曾说：俱乐部的意义是为爱好者和小众群体创造聊以慰藉的共同体，而 .TAG 希望沿着这条路径，努力维护俱乐部作为逃离外部世界乱相之庇护所的存在。这个初衷未曾动摇，.TAG 的成长史，既是阐释俱乐部文化之顽强生命力的一个例证。
In the past seven years, this venue that carries our love and perseverance experienced many ups and downs: In 2014, .TAG quickly took over the nightlife of young people in Chengdu with its 4/4 beats and accelerating BPM; In 2017, we had no choice but to go into a hiatus due to the large-scale property rectification; In 2018, professional international artists came in droves, and almost every weekend, there’s at least one international act; In early 2020, due to the outbreak of covid-19, the Spring Festival lineup which took months planning in advance went in vain; After the worldwide cut-off in the second half of 2020, the clubbing scene, for the first time in a long time, switched back to the self-reliant mode. It showed a barbaric growth. DJs, promoters and club-goers all displayed more enthusiasm, professionalness and diversity... At our fourth anniversary party, we said: the meaning of the club is to create a safe haven for music lovers and minorities. .TAG works hard to maintain its existence as a utopia away from the chaos of the outside world. We stick to this mission no matter what, and the evolution of .TAG has proven this tenacious club vitality.

一直以来，.TAG 都是大家心中的那座马力强劲的 Power House (发电站/动力源) 。它是因为 .TAG 而围聚在一起的这个大家族的心爱之物，是一项“为爱发电”的事业；它为大家提供一方悠游地，通过震颤的音乐源源不断地向舞客传输能量，激发灵感、催生热情；如今，它也以事实证明这是一座人才的动力源，向全国的俱乐部场景输送着优秀的表达者与参与者。
.TAG is a perpetual power house in everyone's heart. It never runs out of power because of the crowd that it is blessed with. It is a community that "generates power from love"; it provides a place for all to pass on positivity, to get inspired and to catalyse enthusiasm; As of today, it also becomes the source of talents, delivering excellent artists and participants to the club scene across the country.

5 Cities, 6 Nights
·六个夜晚，五城巡游
刚刚过去的三月末，持续两周六晚的周年庆纪念活动，还在我们的记忆中存留有未尽的余温。趁着这股热劲，我们决定马不停蹄地展开“七年之喜”巡演，在接下来两个月的时间内，去到北京、上海、深圳、杭州和香港五城中最能代表当地场景的六座俱乐部，进行场景交换。无远弗届，我们将携带着 .TAG 7年长跑所积蓄的能量与精神，打破壁垒，撬动边界，往更远处散播，向更多人传达。
We had our 2 weeks and 6 nights anniversary celebration in March. Memories are still fresh and will remain so for a very long time. But we cannot wait to spread the happiness across the country, thus we decided to kick off the "7 Up" national tour right away. In the next two months, we will go to Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, and Hong Kong, and party at some of the most representative venues in the local scene. With the accumulated energy and spirit in TAG’s 7-year-long marathon, we are going to break boundaries and reach more likeminded folks.
这次，六场深深烙印着 .TAG 标记的派对之夜，将成为巡演的核心内容。这些派对，是 .TAG 背后核心社群的灵感结晶，它们风格迥异、趣味多元，为边缘群体或是不从众者创造了属于他们的夜生活，它们也是 .TAG 所凝结的俱乐部精神的多面写照。
These six party nights embody the very core of .TAG’s aesthetics. They are the inspiration of core community behind .TAG. They are versatile, different and fun. They provide an embracing nightlife for marginalized groups and non-conformists. They are basically the multifaceted portrayal of the club spirit that .TAG stands for.

KARMASUB
来自成都的电子音乐制作人 / DJ,同时作为推广者成立了多媒体艺术项目“barranco 深谷”，其中包括电子乐品牌“PURE DARK — 黯”与“PLACEBO — 安慰剂”。现以Karmasub（次因果）作为代号进行音乐创作与现场演出，在音乐创作上融入了印象主义手法与后人文主义的观念，试图以具有极简主义偏好的电子乐作为媒介将自身对于后现代人文景观的想象加以描述。新型而轻盈的Minimal、Dub Techno、Electro与House节拍代表了他在俱乐部音乐领域中Electro的一些明显特征，但多元化的创作背景让他的音乐无法被具体的风格标签所明确定义。
KARMASUB is a code name from the multi-media arts collective Barranco. KARMASUB creates sounds with impressionism technique and post humanistic perspective seeking to explore postmodern philosophy from the perspective of sound. The new school Minimal Techno, Dub techno，Electro and House beats represented his some obvious characteristics in the field of club music , but the creation of the diversified background let his music can not be clearly defined by specific style tags.
MERVV
是个浪漫，贪婪，强力又温暖就像熊抱一样的集合。光怪陆离的音乐材质，经典的鼓融合在一起试图达到和谐的极限，他的灵魂属于沁满汗渍的地下室。他经常在中国和德国演出，例如 Oil, Floating Island, Elevator, Tag Ost-Apotheke,以及许多可爱的俱乐部。
Mervv is a little romantic and a little gritty. Rough but warm. Like a bear hug. Weird textures, classic drums mangled and pushed to their limits, lovely harmonies. His spirit belongs in a sweaty basement.
He's played frequently in China and Germany, at places like Oil, Floating Island, Elevator, Tag, Ost-Apotheke, and many other small but lovely clubs.
