Feng Jiangzhou 丰江舟 is the lead singer of the Fly Band and a pioneer of electronic music in China. In 1998, Feng Jiangzhou collaborated with the Taiwanese electronic group 3rdNova to release “Love in the Time of Flies,” hailed as China's first true electronic music album. Feng Jiangzhou is widely involved in new media art, sound art, installation art, film and television scores, stage design, and more. In 2006, he co-founded the “Deaf Mute Blind School Club” label with Wu Ershan, releasing three albums before pausing his music career. It wasn't until 2019 that he made a comeback, performing at the Tomorrow Music Festival in Shenzhen. In 2023, he started a series of tours with the Fly Band, including appearances at the West Lake Music Festival, Strawberry Music Festival, and Hong Kong Clockenflap Music Festival.
ehrdz (Jessica Hernandez) is a DJ, sound artist, and curator broadly interested in repetition and continuity, the sounds of industrial objects and materials, and visceral percussive arrangements. Using approaches including hardware synthesis and sample manipulation, Jessica often creates erratic sequences and experimental drum patterns. In doing so, she pulls together the various elements that draw her to electronic music while constructing her own particular vision of brooding experimental techno. In 2024, she and Aaron Michael Smith founded Transporter, an experimental music series located at the Boston Cyberarts Gallery. She also hosts a mix series/radio show Project One on 102.9FM and serves as the Managing Director of Unbound Visual Arts, a non-profit art gallery.
