Curated by Louzhang-lz & People Pump Records, co-present by Dublab http://www.dublab.com/. This night brings the living, active sound of contemporary electronic music straight from Shanghai into Los Angeles. 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 Los Angeles on the opposite side of the planet, they deliver fresh contemporary rhythms from the east coast of Asia continent. Rising rapidly within the global indie scene, Frankfurt Helmet has become one of the most influential and innovative forces in contemporary Chinese electronic music. Widely regarded as a defining voice within China’s independent electronic ecosystem, the duo: Romna and sound artist Dafei, operates as a trans-media project that merges distinct artistic backgrounds into a singular and forward-driven sonic vision. Their sound is built on striking contrast: the ethereal, atmospheric depths of modular synthesis layered over cold, precision-engineered mechanical rhythms. Balancing immersive spatial design with visceral physical performance, Frankfurt Helmet continues to push the boundaries between live electronics and sound art, expanding the language of Chinese electronic music onto an international stage. Based between Los Angeles and Shanghai, electronic musician, DJ, and film composer Louzhang-lz stands as a key figure within Shanghai’s underground tribal electronic movement, while actively shaping dialogue across the West Coast avant-garde scene. His music has repeatedly surfaced across underground communities in more Asian cities, while his work continues to circulate within west coast’s 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 forging 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.
