DT969 – JUOS

Los Angeles is doing its own thing with house music right now, and JUOS is right in the middle of it.

The South Central LA producer joins us on the Data Transmission Podcast this week, bringing a set packed with Latin rhythms, bass house pressure, hip-hop edits and a healthy pile of unreleased music.

JUOS first caught the rave bug at Beyond Wonderland back in 2013. From there, he taught himself production while working day jobs, sometimes literally making records in his car between shifts. That grind started paying off properly with tracks like ‘Dile’, which landed in Cloonee’s inbox and went on to rack up millions of streams.

His sound pulls directly from the city around him. Reggaeton, early 2000s hip-hop, Latin tech house and underground rave music all get dragged into the same room. It has already taken him onto labels including DIRTYBIRD, Hellbent and Thrive, while his records have picked up support from Chris Lake, John Summit, Cloonee, Diplo and Tiësto.

Now signed to Helix Records, JUOS has just dropped ‘Tequila Bounce’ alongside No Thanks and Nevee, following a year that has included a sold-out 360 show at Exchange LA and an EDC Las Vegas debut.

And the mix gives a pretty good idea of where things are heading next.

JUOS opens with ‘Tequila Bounce’ before running through his own collaborations with Techno Tupac and Andruss, edits of Pitbull, Justin Timberlake and ASAP Ferg, plus unreleased weapons from HARG!, Edris Omar, LOOZBONE, BRANDON, Snooko & DEDRO and plenty more.

There are also several JUOS IDs buried inside, including ‘Mirala Bien’, ‘DTMF’ and a closing collaboration with Taylr Renee, ‘Bad News’.

Twenty-three tracks, a serious amount of unreleased music and plenty of that LA bounce running through the whole thing.

1. Sum up this podcast (mix) in 10 words…

High energy, mostly unreleased, made to run a club floor.

2. What’s your personal favourite track on it?

I’m really digging the “Bring the Action” flip from Julian Torres, the bassline hits different, it’s been a go-to in my sets lately.

3. What’s the special ingredient in this mix?

I think it’s the amount of unreleased music in there. A lot of these are records I’ve been testing out live before they’re even out, so it’s kind of a first look for whoever’s listening.

4. Tell us about your next EP?

No EP just yet, but I’ve got a track dropping September 4th called “Tequila Bounce,” made with No Thanks and Nevve. It’s a high-energy, peak-time record, built to move a room.

5. What have you got coming up?

I’ve got a bunch of shows coming up — Nocturnal Wonderland, Escape (where I’ll be doing a B2B with Andruss), plus support slots for Kaskade, Deorro, and Bolo. There’s more in the works I can’t talk about yet, but that’s all I can really say for now.

6. And finally, do you have a special message for our readers?

Thank you guys for listening, genuinely. Whether this is the first mix of mine you’ve heard or you’ve been riding with me since the early shows, I see it and I appreciate every one of you. More music coming, so stay close.
