Joyhauser is a Belgian techno duo formed by longtime friends Joris Cielen and Stijn Vanspauwen from Bilzen, Belgium. Having met in high school in the early 2000s, the pair initially organized parties together before fully committing to music. In 2017 they officially launched Joyhauser, carefully shaping their sound before presenting it to the world. Their breakthrough came in 2018 with the C166W EP on Monika Kruse’s renowned Terminal M label, which propelled them onto the international stage. Known for their hard-hitting yet emotive style, Joyhauser blend powerful techno grooves with melancholic melodies and trance-inspired atmospheres, reflecting Belgium’s rich rave legacy.

Since then, they have released on respected labels such as Second State, Drumcode, Toolroom, Respekt Recordings,and Labyrinth Music, while continuing to work closely with Terminal M. In 2023, they unveiled their debut album In Memoro, a 12-track journey ranging from festival-ready peak-time anthems to ambient and breakbeat-inspired pieces. The project also inspired their In Memoro live show, which translates the album’s depth and energy into a striking stage experience. With their own imprint MEMORO and releases like Dark of the Night, Joyhauser continue to push their sound forward. Today, they stand as one of the most exciting acts in modern techno, bringing raw energy and emotional intensity to dance floors worldwide.

Creativity, magic, and techno infused with strokes of genius – that’s The Reason Y, the project of Frederik L. Since 2007, he has been turning heads with his raw, hypnotic, and minimalist sound.

"The magic of techno and the connection with the crowd are what drive me. But musically, I’ve never been tied to a single genre – you’ll also hear Drum’n’Bass and breakbeats woven into my sets."

His passion began in the far north, where he started collecting vinyl and refining his mixing skills. Today, he shapes the scene with his unique productions, supported by heavyweights like Pan-Pot and Gregor Tresher, as well as with his own event series TRY Land, formerly hosted at Watergate. He’s also a regular behind the decks at Berlin’s Sisyphos, Fridas Pier in Stuttgart, and many more.

Whether in the studio or on stage – The Reason Y is unstoppable.
See you on the dancefloor!
