Their story
Tang Guihua started in 2023 when a conservatory ruan student met a game-music producer at a Suzhou garden festival. Their debut EP 《桂花酿》 (2024) mixed pingtan melodies with chiptune synths and became a favourite among young guofeng listeners. In 2025 they released the album 《园林惊梦》, a playful remix of kunqu classics in dance-floor form.
