Joyhauser are a Belgian DJ and production duo whose sound combines the pulsating energy of techno with trance elements, the rebellious spirit of Belgium’s rave culture and emotionally charged melodies. Stijn Vanspauwen and Joris Cielen are known for their powerful rhythms, melancholic strings and epic harmonic builds.
