about
BÉZIER
Bézier is San Francisco based, Taiwanese-American musician Robert Yang, who is also an original member of the Honey Soundsystem crew. A multi-instrumentalist, Robert grew up in Southern California then planted his roots in San Francisco in 2005. Over the years in SF he has built an impressive analog synth-based studio, which also serves as the creative hub for his riveting live performances. In the last few years his DJ sets and live music performance has taken him across various parts of the US, Europe and Asia.

YOURY
Youry's musical taste encompasses a wide range of styles and artists. Whether using hip hop, jazz, disco, or house, his signature quality is his ability to meld genres seamlessly in order to produce a groove that is both sensual and electric. No matter where he plays Russia, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and elsewhere the goal is always the same: making the crowd move their bodies to the funkiest beats around. He is an impeccable curator of sound, crafting sets that are sexy and unexpected. For Youry, music should make us feel things we can't express at least until we start moving to the beat.

  • Youry

    Resident at 宀 Club, Hong Kong 4 am on a Saturday at a packed sweaty club in Sheung Wan, body to body dancing to a range of sounds from Boy Harsher to an unreleased remix of Madonna’s “Bedtime Story” to Islamic chants over a marching techno beat. Just one night before, in the very same district, police were firing rounds and rounds of tear gas to freedom-fighting protesters. That pretty much sums up what Youry does now: DJing from his heart; taking risks and making history despite chaos and negativity. Youry was born in the late eighties in Antwerp in the background of the nascent EBM / Big Beat scene in Belgium. His father was a musician and Jazz producer turned entrepreneur, while his Chinese Cambodian mother gave him an Asian sensitivity. But he really caught his dance music bug when he saw Akufen playing at Montreal’s Stereo in the early noughties. Since then Youry has become a vinyl addict, building up a meticulously categorised collection. His DJing career took off in 2015, setting foot at various clubs and festivals in Hong Kong such as Shi Fu Miz, Sonar, and Acadana. Since 2018 he has become a resident DJ at 宀 club, widely regarded as the first venue in Hong Kong to be on par with the best clubs in the global dance scene. It is here that he earned the freedom to build up all-night-long eclectic sets. As the local situation gets more volatile, a party where people can feel free becomes more relevant than ever. The stakes are high, but Youry is determined.
