You Love House
London
Julian's music influences spans from the late 1980’s beginning with Michael Jackson, leading onto the Hip-Hop inspired NWA. Mixed in this blend was the British Rock band Queen where Julian first experienced musical instruments being played together.
It wasn’t until the 90’s that Julian really had a taste for the UK music scene. A fine collector of the Jungle Hits series, where Ragga met Drum n’ Bass, saw an early era of blank TDK 60 minute cassette tapes which Julian would use to record off the radio, coupled with official cassette tapes borrowed from the local libraries.
Still very much US Hip-Hop inspired, Busta Rhymes was a mainstay in Julian’s music collection, accompanied later by West Coast’s Death Row and East Coast’s Bad Boy driven records.
Growing up in Finsbury Park, North London, Julian was exposed to the UK Garage music scene, where household favourites Heartless Crew were regulars on the North London radio airwaves (Freak FM). This is where raving began for Julian. Whereas a 16 year old in the year 2000 nightclubs Bagley’s Kings Cross, Kentish Town Forum, and Palace Pavilion Hackney were regularly visited.
Now as a 17 year old in 2001, attending college in East London, Julian witnessed the birth of Grime. Listening to early Grime favourites such as Nasty Crew and Wiley’s driven Roll Deep Crew on the East London pirate radio stations, and watching everyone around him strive to be the next Grime star, Julian’s interest in music production started. An install of Fruity Loops on his windows laptop helped Julian to understand the basics of music composition.
This variety of music genres helped Julian to build a versatile and dynamic music library. Filled mostly with production from The Neptunes, UK Garage pioneer Wookie, 9th Wonder, UK outfit Jamiroquai, J Dilla, Grime pioneer Wiley, West Coast Hip Hop’s Dr Dre, and East coast raps DJ Premier.
It wasn’t until much later, where a birthday inspired visit to Ibiza opened up Julian’s ears to EDM; in particular Deep House. This coupled with experiencing day parties such as London’s Secretsundaze, Barcelona’s annual Sonar music festival, and Ibiza’s airport jungle DC10, a love for entertaining was born.
Julian’s music collection now features the likes of Patrick Topping, Alexis Raphael, wAFF, and Kerri Chandler. Crowd entertainment is his one and only goal, delivering a musical experience to wow his listener each and every time.
