In the early years of electronic music, Japan emerged as a juggernaut of dance music culture. Many argue it all began there. The phenomenon was as much a cultural movement as a musical exponent, and reflects on Japan’s fascination with high-quality sound, reverberating across genres and generations. 428 is a venue that pays homage to this era, powered by a VOID Incubus system that is finely tuned for each performance by a Japanese engineer to bring out the system’s fullest potential. Expect a profound and immersive psychedelic journey of live and extraterrestrial beats from various corners of Asia.

Inspired by the five-story pagodas of Japan, this year, 428 brings to life the five fundamental elements through a dynamic, multi-sensory experience. By visually, acoustically and experientially representing these elements, the venue serves as a point of contemplation and wonder, inviting Wonderers to explore and connect with the timeless elements harmonized through the pagoda that forms the universe.
