Double U, also known as DJ Wine (Burmese: ဒီဂျေဝိုင်း; born Yan Naung Soe on 15 April 1987), is a Burmese DJ, music producer and composer. He started his music career with underground dance music production in the early 2000s.[1] He produced tracks for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2013 Southeast Asian Games in Myanmar[2] and he made the background music for the popular film Angel of Eden. He was also part of the lineup for the Together Festival.[1][3]

During the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état, he became a political critic of Myanmar's ruling military junta. Because of his involvement in anti-coup protests, an arrest warrant was issued for him, and he fled to United States.[4]
