SYF launches inaugural charity event with stellar line-up of Hong Kong talent

SYF (Set You Free) are set to host their inaugural charity event this weekend, spotlighting some of Hong Kong’s most notable underground talent.

Taking place on Saturday, February 8 from 6pm-11pm at AIA Carnival’s Blue Girl "Dai Pai Dong", the event promises an eclectic journey through the diverse spectrum of the city’s electronic music scene.

This intimate, locally driven event will showcase everything from deep dub and rare groove to the driving rhythms of Chicago house and ambient techno, with an exclusive listen to CW's much-anticipated debut EP.

Curated by local DJ and promoter Fergus, the line-up is a testament to Hong Kong's ever-evolving music scene, with sets from Xiaolin, Subez Yeti, Vsloria b2b Adrianna, CW b2b Fergus, and JJ Brian—all bringing their own unique sound and style.

But it’s not just about the music. All profits from the event will benefit two important local charities: The Community Chest and Teen’s Key Hong Kong.

In collaboration with Mixmag Asia, SYF will be offering a limited run of exclusive t-shirts (design below), with proceeds going towards the same important causes.
