Alice Longyu Gao
High-gloss, maximalist pop that feels like a sugar rush in a server room. Aggressive, playful, and deeply internet-native dance music for the bold.

Alice Longyu Gao creates music that sounds like a browser with fifty tabs open, all of them playing something colorful and loud. It is a sensory overload of bubblegum melodies, distorted industrial beats, and razor-sharp satire. The production is crystalline and unapologetically digital, often oscillating between sweet Harajuku-inspired pop and punishing, bit-crushed noise that demands your full attention.
What sets her apart is the seamless way she weaponizes irony and luxury aesthetics. Her tracks often feel like performance art pieces disguised as club bangers, utilizing multilingual lyrics and high-fashion references to build a distinct, futuristic persona. There is a specific tension in her work between the 'magnificent' persona and the raw, chaotic energy of the hyperpop underground.
Start with 'Rich Bitch Juice' for the ultimate introduction to her collaboration with Dylan Brady, then dive into 'I <3 Harajuku' to hear her blend of J-pop influence and Western experimentalism. It is music for people who find comfort in the chaos of the digital age.
