DJ · Producer · Record Label Founder · Ibiza Underground Resident
Biography
Julian Perez developed his connection to electronic music in the early 1990s, shaped by the House and Techno scenes emerging from the US, the UK, and Northwestern Europe. Genres such as Techno, EBM, and New Beat played a key role in defining his sound, which has evolved with patience, discernment, and a deep respect for the culture. Over time, he became known as a versatile DJ whose approach favors long-term vision over immediacy.
In 2010, he released his first record, marking the beginning of a steadily built career. Two years later, he founded Fathers & Sons Productions (2012), a vinyl-only label created as a platform to share his distinctive sound. Within its first year, the label hosted showcases in more than twelve countries and established a solid catalog of releases.
Alongside his own imprints, Julian's music has appeared on respected labels such as Cocoon Recordings, Raum..Musik, and Subwax Bcn, further cementing his reputation as both producer and tastemaker.
To date, every release on his labels has sold out within days, underlining his curatorial instincts and his ability to identify emerging talent.
