A long-time raver and veteran of the Texas metal scene, Hotze is a classically-trained musician who became acquainted with electronic music at a young age in the mid 90's.

After many years breaking necks on the metal circuit, he made his transition from the stage and the dance floor to the decks in 2017, aiming to share his love for the old-school underground sounds of trance, tech trance, psy, hard trance, acid, progressive, and techno with a newer generation. 

Building a reputation as a champion of hard-edged sounds, his DI.FM radio show, Dichotomy Sessions as well as live sets reflect his roots as a veteran of the underground. Mixing with an aggressive style that relentlessly punishes the dance floor with hard grooves, driving rave vibes, live mashups, and modern homages to classic sounds.

🎧 S.Y.E. – Bringing the Energy and the Sound 🎶

Hailing from a strong musical lineage,  S.Y.E.'s passion for music runs deep... his grandfather is even honored in the Iowa Music Hall of Fame. Immersed in sound from an early age, his journey into electronic music began in the late '90s, discovering influential artists like The Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, and The Prodigy.

In 2001, his love for Trance, Hard House, Hard Trance, and Hardstyle ignited. Within a year, he bought his first set of turntables and taught himself how to DJ. Less than six months later, he landed his first gig at a local bar in Euless, TX... and hasn’t stopped since.

S.Y.E. became a well-known resident on Space Radio DFW, an internet radio staple, and also appeared on two major Dallas radio stations: 104.9 KZMP The Beat and 106.7 FM, the former Texas Party Station.

With his crew, Radio Tech Entertainment, he founded the annual Hard Haven event... North Texas’s premier celebration of hard dance music. His high-energy sets have rocked legendary venues like Afterlife Dallas, the world-famous Lizard Lounge, and clubs throughout Dallas/Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, and beyond. He's also brought Hardstyle to new audiences, introducing it to his hometown of Dubuque, Iowa, where the genre was virtually unknown... and had the crowd dancing all night.

He has shared the stage with icons such as Kutski, Ronski Speed, Paul Anthony, DJ Irene, DJ Venom, Vicious Vic, Matt Cerf, Suzy Solar, Elevation, Snow White, DJ K9, MXMIND, Djabe from E-Pro, and many more.

A dedicated producer since 2005, S.Y.E. continues to evolve his sound, releasing tracks on multiple labels. His music is available on his website and major download platforms.

Whether behind the decks or in the studio, S.Y.E. delivers pure energy and an unforgettable sound experience. 

👀 Keep an eye out... he’s sure to bring the energy and sound.
