Dominating festival main stages and selling out strongholds across North America and Asia, BEAUZ is a name impossible to ignore in 2026. Hailing from Los Angeles, the American DJ / producer brothers Bernie & Johan Yang soared to new heights through a year of extraordinary feats, proving themselves to be a powerhouse of fresh Hard Techno. In 2024 alone, they built a loyal fan base of more than 600,000 baddies through viral content across IG and Tiktok, and accumulated more than 2 million views on their Hard Techno DJ sets on YouTube, rivaling even the top Hard Techno acts. With their audacious remixes such as Bel Mercy and My Humps appearing regularly in DJ sets by Hard Techno heavyweights including the likes of Ben Nicky, Nico Moreno, even extending to top-tier Bass acts such as Subtronics, BEAUZ also proved that Hard Techno can enjoy streaming appeal when their self-release Ocho VIP and Lick It became their hottest tracks on Spotify, with the former being played by Charlotte de Witte on Tomorrowland mainstage. Considering all their successes in 2024, it almost feels as if BEAUZ is destined to build their legacy on the realm of Hard Techno. With nearly a decade of studio experience experimenting with the art of genre amalgamation, their Hard Techno productions feel natural, intuitive, readily comprehensible, and are suitable for more than traditional warehouse rave and club environments. Besides maximizing their potential as artists, BEAUZ strive to ingrain their motto BADDIE UP within the minds of all their fans and the next generation of artists. The brothers exert themselves as leaders of positivity by regularly connecting with fans both online and offline after shows, living out their mission to elevate the realities of those around them.
