​From the cyber-mountains of East Asia to the strobe-lit basements of London, the EAST2046 Festival evening party invites you into a sonic portal where tradition collides with techno-futurism. And we are bringing Qigong to the club!

​Across two rooms, we explore sound as cultural speculation. In the main room, expect experimental club energy and boundary-pushing sets led by our headliner — a shapeshifting force in East-West fusion, bending rhythms and references with surgical precision. In the small room, we shift gears: house, pop edits, and soft lighting for cosy bodies and warm basslines. During the night, you will see visual effects accompanied by top digital artists with the music.

​But this is not a usual DJ night. We are bringing the past into the future. Qigong is a unique Chinese exercise system that uses breath, mind and movement to enhance health and vitality and stress release. As night falls, we awaken the ancient within: Nightclub Qigong—a guided journey of breath and movement—pulls centuries of embodied wisdom into the pulse of now. The Qigong will be led by Dr Alex Boyd, who has been practising and teaching Qigong for over 30 years, and have developed the first related course at the university level in the UK. The Qigong movement will be accompanied by visuals.
