Nicknamed ‘Yangze’ since his teens, producer, writer, and musician Jakob Littauer has spent the past decade moving between solo work and collaborations. Sparsely releasing only an EP and a handful of singles under his own name, while also producing and writing with a big palette from avant-garde group TLF Trio to pop music with Tobias Rahim.

His work dances between synthesis and real sound, and in a similar dualistic way the Yangze voice lives in both digital and acoustic timbres, indistinguishable and alive / not alive. Bubbly glitches, detuned guitars, and yearning melodies while lyrics croon about life between cities, media, food, and love. Equally ballady and clubby, Yangze is a rich stew to nourish your ears.

With 12 years of active DJ'ing, HARRISON HEAT's roots as a DJ stem from the jacking, bouncy style of Chicago house. Indescribable by one genre alone, he delivers moods and sounds that are deeply rooted in house, techno, Italo-disco and progressive - it all depends on the energy of the dance floor.

Kasper Bjørke has been a shape-shifting force in electronic music for the past two decades. From club anthems to radio-friendly affairs and introspective ambient meditations, the DNA is unmistakably Bjørke’s. As a DJ, he is a five-time performer at Panorama Bar in Berlin and has participated in legendary festivals such as Sónar Barcelona, Roskilde and Montreux Jazz Festival.

Behind the improvisation-based music and performance project Small White Man is the visual artist FOS. For CHART 2026, a “traffic light” system of lightbulbs is installed in front of each player.

The light bulbs, controlled by the artist FOS, follow three rules: A red light is a signal to play free and lead, a blue light to follow, and lights off to stop playing. The structure allows each musician to co-compose and conduct an improvisation.

For each concert, FOS producer and musician Nis Bysted assembles a wide range of musicians with experience in different genres, making the soundscape on this recording a varied and unclassical improvisation.
