From Copenhagen’s Club Circuit to Solo Avant-Pop
The moniker Yangze originates from Jakob Littauer’s childhood, serving as a nickname since birth. Before stepping into the spotlight as a solo avant-pop upstart, Littauer established a footprint in Copenhagen’s electronic music ecosystem. As a teenager, he played in the techno group Electrojuice, an early milestone that included a performance at Berlin’s Berghain club at the age of 16.
Over the years, Littauer expanded his creative circle, working within the local scene as part of the TLF Trio alongside Cæcilie Trier.
