On 16th January a special Groundbreaking Ceremony was held at Hangzhou’s International Expo Centre to commence the construction of the new site and celebrate the birth of our fifth electronic music school.

The ceremony was hosted by Qian Ronggen, the deputy director of the district committee publicity department and cultural creative department, Wang Luojun, a member of the CPC work committee of QianJiang Century City, Zhou Jun, the secretary of the party committee of the NetEase Group and Jessie Wang, the CEO of NetEase FEVER.

The vision of PB China is to inject even more creativity into the already thriving creative capital of Hangzhou. Following the successful partnership between QianJiang Century City and NetEase in 2017, LuoJun (pictured above on the right) expects that the addition of one of our institutions to the surrounding area will forge a brand new culture label and spark a wave of young and talented artists. Point Blank China will feature 6000 square meters of state-of-the-art facilities including studios for DJing, music production, recording/mixing, practice and performance spaces, a break-out area and more.
