how it started: JUOS

Every great story has a starting point. How It Started is where yours unfolds. On Friday May 1st, we bring you JUOS at The Vault at Eden. JUOS is a Chicano producer from South Central Los Angeles making tech and bass house that hits with the same energy as a backyard party in LA—gritty, unapologetic, and undeniably raw. He fell in love with dance music at Beyond Wonderland in 2013 and never looked back. While working day jobs to survive, he was producing tracks in his car, teaching himself the craft between shifts, refusing to let anything stop him. Years of grinding led to a breakout 2025, with festival performances at Escape, Outside Lands, EDC Orlando, and Northern Nights, bringing his sound from LA to Vegas, Miami, San Francisco, and beyond. That same year, JUOS released six tracks, including “Side Man (feat. Techno Tupac),” which hit #1 on Beatport’s Bass House chart, and “Candela,” featured as the cover of Spotify’s Tech House Operator and included in All New Dance. His music has surpassed 10 million streams, with releases on DIRTYBIRD, Hellbent, and Thrive, and support from Chris Lake, John Summit, Cloonee, Diplo, and Tiësto. But this is just the beginning. Now it’s his turn. Support from MYKE, OCHO, and Dapadi. Your night, your move.
