Frankfurt Helmet & Louzhang

Frankfurt Helmet and Louzhang-lz, two close friends and radically different A/V electronic artists, stand as two distinct forces that have powerfully shaped Shanghai’s electronic music culture. Reuniting in Brooklyn on the opposite side of the planet, they deliver fresh contemporary rhythms from the Far East.

Rising rapidly within the global indie scene, they have emerged as a definitive voice in Chinese independent electronic music. As one of China’s most innovative trans-media projects, the duo—comprising acclaimed drummer Romna and sound artist Yufei—merges their diverse backgrounds to push the boundaries of electronic soundscapes. Their sonic identity is defined by a striking contrast: the ethereal, atmospheric depths of modular synthesis layered over cold, precision-engineered mechanical rhythms. Having graced the stages of major international festivals and art exhibitions, they continues to redefine the intersection of live performance and sound art on a global scale.

Curator of the night, Los Angeles–based electronic musician, DJ, and film composer Louzhang-lz is a important figure within Shanghai’s underground tribal electronic movement. His music has repeatedly surfaced across underground communities in more Asian cities, while his work continues to circulate within Los Angeles’ leftfield bass music scene. Louzhang-lz’s significant masked identity and live A/V performances grow out of his core musicology research: reviving lost ritual cultures across the Far East and forcing them back into life through electronic composition. He frequently returns to his homeland, deep in the isolated mountains of Southwest China, gathering ancient sounds and carrying them back into dense modern cities through forward-driven electronic forms. China. Japan. The West Coast. Now the East Coast.
