“There are DJs, and then there are DJ’s DJ's.”
their own biography
the whole biography
There are DJs, and then there are DJ’s DJ's. Julien Veniel, artist name D’Julz, is undoubtedly one of the latter - a true craftsman behind the decks whose true strongest skill is his ability to go beyond mere genres and trends, deciding instead to actively shape the ever-changing soundscape of electronic music through his own productions, DJ performances and parties. Through a career spanning two and half decades, D’Julz has practically done it all. He began spinning in Paris, often playing his home city’s much-talked about early 90’s raves and legendary clubs, all before moving to New–York in 1993 to further hone his skills and cement his reputation as a true taste-maker in his field. The rest, as they say, is history. Despite finding himself in high demand in every corner of the globe, from the States to Japan and countless countries in between, D’Julz has always remained true to his roots in Paris, where he has been running the now legendary “Bass Culture” night at Rex club since 1997. In tandem with the birth of his party D’Julz has dedicated a large amount of time and energy into the production side of his musical output. Solo-wise his music has been signed to some of the world’s finest underground labels – Circus Company, Robsoul, Ovum, Rekids, 20:20 Vision and more. Since D’Julz started producing he has been responsible for a long list of tracks and remixes that have become essential weapons in the record boxes of the world’s DJ elite. As a DJ he exudes class and panache. A gifted curator of music whose pedigree has earned him a loyal international following and a constant tour schedule which sees him travel the worlds major cities every week playing the best venues they have on offer. Not to mention the infamous Circoloco (DC10) where he has held a long-standing residency, taking charge of the main room and the world-renowned red terrace room several times each summer season. Each set demonstrating D’Julz’s uncanny ability to weave his penchant for dub elements into the house and techno sphere and rocking DC10 with potent groove and sultry rhythms. D’Julz remains as enthusiastic as he was when he first started DJing, as his Bass Culture label goes from strength to strength, clocking over 50 releases and he continues to traverse the globe rocking dance floors every weekend. A true legend and one who will continue to be at the top of his game…Their RA profile lists Ovum Recordings, Ibadan Records, Rekids, Circus Company and 5 more.Recently at Signal, Circle Line Cruises, Jolene Sound Room Brooklyn · often with Henriku, Alexander Skancke, Sedef Adasï, none of them here that night

From Los Angeles to El Salvador to Miami, now based in NYC. Alex Pastor brought his eclectic tastes & committed digging skills to global electronic music routes without losing the passion of the underground. His mix of house, techno, trance, electro, new beat, and breaks taps the sounds of that same circuit from revolutionary Third World music to old school California hip hop and his beginnings in classic trance. All the while oriented to the dance floor and custom to the moment. Alex cut his teeth throughout the dynamic Central American scene while living in El Salvador and traveled to homegrown yet internationally respected festivals in Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Honduras. Representation with BlackTone Agency ensured Alex made an impression on audiences in other U.S. cities and Europe, a clear inspiration for his musical formation. In Miami, Alex Pastor was immediately presented a residency for Un_Mute’s highly lauded party series where his selections showcase his digging work ethic along with a special sense for what makes people dance. “I always want to make those weird selections, out of left field. My philosophy for deejaying has always been 50% makes you dance, but 50% should be something that catches you off guard–something trippy.” Alex Pastor’s craft continues to evolve with each new stop on his journey and there’s no telling what scene will be lucky to be next. Over the years, Alex has shared the stage with storied talent such as Ian Pooley, John Tejada, Dana Ruh, Tom Ellis, and Adam Collins (Omni A.M.) along with new school luminaries like Francesco del Garda, Masda, Binh, Laurine & Cecilio, Nicolas Lutz, Raphael Carrau, Quest, Brasi, Giammarco Orsini, Z@P, Cristian Sarde, Cosmic JD, Sibil, Truly Madly, Hamish & Toby, Harry McCanna, John Dimas, Oshana, Youandewan, Black Loops, Nicola Cruz... Such experiences are leading to a constant evolution in his musical depth and have bolstered his ability to comfortably combine trippy with techy, dreamy with drummy, heady with house.Recently at Earthly Delights · often with Luka, Iku, Moaad BKR, none of them here that night
