VI.BE

FLO RYAN is a Belgian hardstyle DJ and producer whose sound is defined by power, melody and raw emotion. His journey into hard dance began at a young age during the jumpstyle explosion of the mid-2000s, an era that sparked a lifelong passion for harder electronic music.

After discovering hardstyle and diving deeper into the genre, Florian and Maarten founded the duo Shaggy Soldiers. Together, they released numerous tracks, performed at major events including Sunrise Festival and achieved a milestone release on Dirty Workz. Their music reached audiences worldwide, with multiple tracks surpassing 100,000 streams.

In 2024, Shaggy Soldiers concluded their journey with a sold-out hometown show: THE ULTIMATE HOUR. That moment marked the birth of FLO RYAN, his solo project fully focused on pure hardstyle with powerful kicks, emotional melodies and high-energy arrangements.

In 2025, FLO RYAN released a cover EP reworking iconic 2010s dance and pop tracks into hardstyle anthems. The project showcased his ability to blend nostalgia with modern hardstyle energy, with Right Round becoming his most successful release to date.

Known for explosive live sets and consistent quality, FLO RYAN is often described as a hidden gem within the scene, steadily building momentum through strong releases and unforgettable performances. In 2026, he focuses on refinement, original releases and collaborations, aiming to expand his reach while staying true to honest, melodic and powerful hardstyle.
