Career
2023–2024: Early releases You Liang began performing as a DJ in 2023, initially releasing deep house material independently, beginning with the single "Dance Floor" in February of that year. During residencies at clubs in Shibuya they adapted their production toward future bass and later hardstyle to suit peak-time sets.

On April 2, Don Diablo featured "Maybe Tonight" as the DemoDay track of the week on episode 531 of Hexagon Radio. Later that year they performed at the Amsterdam Dance Event and at It's The Ship Singapore. The bass house EP Obsession, released in May through Eightball Records, was reviewed by the German dance publication Dance-Charts. The single "Maybe Tonight" followed in September through Revealed Recordings.
