Style
Yoji's style of music has changed throughout his DJ career, starting off in Trance music in the 1990s before moving into the tougher variant of Hard Trance by the start of the 2000s. He produced many Hard Trance anthems here, including his most well known tracks of "Hardstyle Disco" and "Samurai".
In 2007, Yoji dropped his previous 'Yoji Biomehanika' alias and changed to his current style with the release of "Techy Techy". Yoji calls the style Tech Dance and can be described as a mix between Hard Dance and Techno, mainly characterised by its speed, offbeat rhythms and energy. Further accentuated by Yoji's energetic performance style, Tech Dance has become a genre in its own right, with artists such as Joe-E, Vandall & Remo-con all producing this style of music. The latest releases on Yoji's Hellhouse label have been in this style of music.
Early on in 2012, Yoji announced via his Ameba blog that his Hellhouse label was being shut down to make way for a new label project entitled "dieTunes". The official site and the label itself was launched in June, with the first 3 official releases in July that same year.
