Klangkarussell (German: Sound Carousel) is an Austrian electronic music duo formed in 2011. The two members of the group are Tobias Rieser and Adrian Held. Their biggest hit to date is "Sonnentanz", which reached the top 10 in six countries (Austria, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Switzerland).

Before the duo formed, the name "Klangkarussell" referred exclusively to Rieser's solo work. At the same time, Adrian Held produced electronic music under the artist name i herald, a partial anagram of his real name. In 2011, the two artists produced their first songs together under the name "Heldenklang" (German: "Hero Sound"). Soon after, they began using Rieser's moniker Klangkarussell to refer to their ongoing collaboration.
