About You Liang

You Liang is a Singapore-born, Tokyo-based DJ and producer known for creating melody-driven EDM with a focus on emotional hooks, strong vocal presence, and genre versatility. Whether it’s house, trance, or hardstyle, their tracks are crafted for both radio and the immersive festival stage.

Beginning their musical journey in 2014 as a vocalist and drummer at Keio University, You Liang developed a strong sense of musicality before moving into electronic production. Their early releases leaned toward dancepop with house influences, gradually evolving into a melody-focused, genre-fluid style, shaped by both songwriting sensibilities and the demands of Tokyo’s diverse club scene.

Since 2023, they’ve performed over 500 shows across Asia and Europe, holding residencies at Tokyo’s ZeroTokyo and Womb, and playing in Korea, Spain, with upcoming sets at ADE 2025 and It’s The Ship. In 2025, they were selected as a Pete Tong DJ Academy Future Talent finalist, performing live at IMS Ibiza.

Their discography spans respected labels such as Black Hole Recordings, Ascent Recordings, Eightball Records, Blanco y Negro, and Pyro Records, with chart success on Beatport, Traxsource, and iTunes. Their work has been supported by artists including Don Diablo, Hel:sløwed, and Denoiser.

As We Rave You described: “You Liang has set the standards to the highest of levels, whilst their genre-blending capabilities allow them to stand out from all the rest.”
