Beauz

From:USA / China / Indonesia

DJ style:“Psy Pop Hard Techno Euphoria.”

Best known for:“‘Tokyo Drift’.”

The brothers Beauz have created a distinct brand of dance music they call Psy Pop 2.0. The name says it all — pop song structure complete with sultry lyrics fused with the unrelenting momentum and force of hard techno and psy-trance. It’s a winning cocktail and the duo spent 2023 releasing over 10 tracks this year. Riding high off last year’s collaboration with Zedd, the two kept the energy pumping with tunes like the infectious ‘Colors Of The Rainbow’ and the party anthem, ‘Rave Machine’.

They also spent the year touring more than ever — bringing their so-called ‘BADDIE UP’ energy across the US and the globe. With new singles dropping like they are going out of style, Beauz are just getting started.

Le Shuuk

From: Stuttgart, Germany

DJ style:“Hard dance / electro / hardstyle / techno / EDM.”

Best known for: “The tracks ‘Sandmann’, ‘Toast Hawaii’ and ‘Konje’, as well as being a resident and face of WORLD CLUB DOME Festival.”

A mainstay of the electronic scene for almost 20 years now, Stuttgart native Le Shuuk is no stranger to the rigours of touring. In the last 12 months, he decided to overhaul his lifestyle, committing to exercising regularly and abstaining from drinking during his shows. As a result, the DJ and producer, who is a favourite of the German festival circuit, says that he is having more fun on stage than ever. He credits these changes with allowing him to connect on a deeper level with his audiences, as well as redefine his career goals and look with renewed focus to the future.

The new healthy habits clearly agree with him. As well as recently performing at festivals and clubs across Europe, and holding his own Le Shuuk & Friends parties in his home city, he continues to build on the momentum of tracks like 2020’s peak-rave, German language tune ‘Sandmann’ and 2021’s hypnotic ‘Goodbye’ (featuring Xillions). This year he had another star turn with the explosive ‘Konje’, a collaboration with B-Stylezz that combined modern techno and EDM with the traditional elements of Bulgarian folk songs, with the track receiving big support from the likes of Armin van Buuren, Amelie Lens, and Joyhauser.
