Sheng Jie 盛潔 (a.k.a gogoj), born in 1975, based in Beijing. Audio / visual artist, graduated from Ecole Supérieure Des Arts Décoratifs de Strasbourg in France, currently lives and works in Beijing. Works include video, film, sound, installation, and performance. She is one of China's foremost experimental musicians, active from the late '90s. Her first full-length album "Oviparity" was selected in Top 50 Releases of 2020 on The Wire Magazine.

“Sheng Jie's music moves elegantly from delicate plucked melodies to harsh, bowed walls of noise, elegiac drones, and densely looped and layered chords.” - Josh Feola, The Wire 435.

Shen Jing 沈靜 (a.k.a Shenggy) has been deeply immersed in Beijing’s music scene since 1998, participating in the vibrant explosion it has undergone in recent years. Until 2006, she was the drummer in Beijing punk legends Hang On The Box, but since 2003, her work has increasingly demonstrated her own unique form of cosmic industrial noise. She also formed White with Shou Wang with analog synths and percussion.

Since 2007, she has moved to London, continuing her music career as a producer and drummer. Her current project is Elephant House with electronic artist Christos Fanaras.
