As a kid, Joep first encountered the beats of harder style music during Primary School, and little did he know, it would become an unshakeable passion. From the bassline to the hypnotic melodies, this genre gripped Joep's soul and refused to let go. Fast forward to just a few years ago when Joep had the chance to step behind the decks at a friend's place. Immediately he was hooked. For his birthday, Joep received a DDJ-400 to start practicing which soon became an obsession. Amidst the contemporary beats and modern mixes, Joep remains captivated by the classical sounds of the early harder styles. Each track is a chapter, and every mix is a narrative that takes the audience on a sonic adventure. The harder style music that captured Joep's heart in the old days is now the driving force behind his creativity!

My name is Sylvian, also known as DJ Sylly. I was born on August 18, 1991, making me 32 years old. I grew up immersed in the music industry, as my parents have a long history in it. They took me everywhere with them since I was a child, and this exposure shaped my deep passion for the event world. My first party experience was Defqon.1, which completely captivated me with its Hardstyle music. From then on, I attended as many hardstyle parties as I could. After years of partying, I took a break from the event world to focus on personal development. However, I felt that something was missing from my life. During the Covid pandemic, I turned to YouTube and Twitch to watch live streams and came across TweekaTV. It reignited my passion and reminded me of the energy I had been craving. I decided to become a DJ myself. I purchased a DJ controller, started playing again, and launched my livestream. I am now developing my unique style and channeling my energy into my DJing journey.
