Biography
Julian Perez developed his love for electronic music during the early 90’s heavily influenced by the music coming out of US and UK. He’s recognized amongst his peers as a unique and diverse DJ. His personal style and approach to DJing can be summarized in four simple words: dedication, discernment, respect and patience.
Julian released his first record in 2010 and before long it became clear that the next logical step was to launch his own label. Thus, ” Fathers & Sons Productions ” was born… A strictly vinyl-only label which he founded with a friend in 2012. This, provided Julian a platform to push his sound worldwide and within a short of period time.
With label showcases in more than twelve different countries in the first year and a solid output catalog, the label gained international exposure with the likes of the most respected artists on the scene. Showing full support in the clubs by playing his productions on his own record labels and in others such as Cocoon Recordings, Raum..Musik and Subwax Bcn.
To date, every release has sold out in the first days of sales; testiment to Julian’s impeccable taste in House & Techno production as well as having a good ear for spotting new and interesting artists.
Fathers & Sons number twelve closed a chapter with his first solo album ” Solemnity “. A 2×12” vinyl release highlighting Perez’s attention to detail and the evolution of style & window to the artist’s dedication to his craft showing ability to create honest sound.
2017 was the year when his fresh own project ” Girada Unlimited “ was launched and quickly gained the attention of the real crate diggers. A vinyl-only label already heavily supported before even knowing who was behind it. The tenth release of the label comes as Julian’s second album “ Break-Even ” in 2021 and right after a solid series of records by Julian among other producers.
Perez has acquired an impressive international reputation, playing in the most relevant festivals such as Outline in Moscow, Sunwaves in Romania, Epizode in Vietnam and hosting his own events during Sonar Week in Barcelona, Kazantip Festival in Crimea, Winter Music Conference in Miami and in some of the finest underground parties and frequently in essential clubs worldwide like Rex in Paris, Fabric in London, Womb in Tokyo and Robert Johnson in Offenbach just to name a few, showing not only him as a label boss, but as an independent artist.
He’ s been nominated as best artist on 2012 and 2013 by Vicious Music Awards and on newcomer category by DJ Awards in 2016.
Julian has been a regular at Underground Ibiza club since years, hosting his own nights over the summer season. Besides that, he’s been invited frequently to Richie Hawtin’s ENTER. at Space and to Sven Vath’s Cocoon Ibiza.
The best to enjoy Julian is to listen to him live on the dancefloor… from technique to record selection in his own world behind the decks.
