Originally rising through the ranks of raw hardstyle, Youri has long been known for his ferocious kicks, dark atmospheres, and commanding stage presence. As Warface, he founded End of Line Recordings, released acclaimed albums (such as Art of War, The 9 Circles, Vengeance) and built a reputation for pushing the envelope with experimental hardstyle sound design.

Now, with CATALYST, Youri takes a hard turn into the domain of hardtechno: stripped-back brutality, pounding drums and raw industrial influence. This project showcases a singular focus — no compromises — driven by visceral energy rather than fan expectation.

Expect sets from CATALYST that are intense, dynamic, and carved into techno’s hardest edge. Whether on a festival main-stage or in an underground bunker, he delivers an experience that makes the dancefloor crackle.
