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.
