You Liang is a Tokyo-based DJ and producer with Singaporean roots, boasting over 11 years in music. Evolving from acapella arrangements to house remixes and original productions, You Liang’s latest single, Maybe Tonight (Sep 5, 2025), highlights their meticulous production skills and melodic energy. Crafted in their Tokyo studio, the track exemplifies polished, sophisticated sound ideal for vibe-focused environments like WOMB’s lounge floor, where You Liang recently served as Sound Producer for the “ASK TASK” event, curating international DJs with a signature Afro House vision. Their work consistently merges technical mastery with immersive musical experiences.
You Liang’s latest single, “Feel Addicted”, released on January 16th, 2026, highlights a bold evolution in the Tokyo-based producer’s sound. Departing from the darker, industrial tones often associated with Tokyo’s club scene, this track embraces warmth, groove, and melody while retaining the precision of modern electronic production. The inspiration came during a walk along an Ibiza beach after IMS, where You Liang absorbed the carefree, sun-drenched vibes of the Balearic sunset and sought to recreate that feeling in his Tokyo studio.
Production is at the heart of “Feel Addicted”. Rather than relying on heavy synths and aggressive drops, the track builds its energy through carefully layered elements. A four-on-the-floor kick sets the foundation, driving the track forward with dancefloor-ready momentum. On top of this, Afro-house-inspired percussion and Latin rhythms create a textured groove that feels both organic and precise, steering the energy with subtle complexity rather than brute force. The saxophone lead is treated with meticulous attention, maintaining a live, breathable feel that avoids the rigid quantization typical in electronic music. Its tone and phrasing bring warmth and melodic richness, creating a focal point around which the other elements revolve.
Vocals are equally central to the production. Afro-accented English lines are processed to sit perfectly within the Latin percussion, not merely as a topline but as an additional instrument shaping the rhythmic and harmonic pocket. Bright synth stabs punctuate the chorus, while low-end pads provide depth, creating a spacious mix that feels lively whether on headphones or in a club environment. Every element occupies its own space in the sonic spectrum, reflecting You Liang’s careful balancing act and mastery of layering.
Melodically, the track is immediately engaging. Hook-driven motifs emphasize uplift and euphoria, with the short runtime of just over two minutes ensuring no section overstays its welcome. Instrumental drops provide rhythmic payoff, while the blend of saxophone, vocals, and percussion maintains cohesion throughout.
