JULIAN PEREZ Vinyl & CDs

Review: The cultured tech house auteur that is Julian Perez returns with another cultured new EP that pushes boundaries while staying rooted in the sonic ethos of Girada Unlimited. More than just a collection of tracks, these sounds explore energy, emotion and movement with Perez's evolving artistry at their core. His take on deep grooves with hypnotic textures stands him apart once more from the zippy synth kinetics of 'Pressurah' to the drum funk of 'Es Un Disparate' via two different, equally fresh versions of 'Alpha R'.

Review: A four-track journey that taps into the timeless energy of underground techno while paying homage to its 90s roots. As always, Perez's meticulous craftsmanship shines, offering a seamless blend of ambient textures, acid flourishes and hypnotic rhythms. 'Voloka' opens with a pulsating groove, its atmospheric layers creating a meditative yet driving start. 'I Stand Alone' follows with an acid-tinged edge, capturing the raw, unfiltered essence of vintage techno. On the flip side, 'Ansia Viva' balances tension and release, weaving immersive textures with a captivating rhythm. Closing the EP, 'Soulfound' is a standout, blending dreamy ambiance with subtle acid lines, evoking a sense of introspection amidst its danceable pulse. Fathers & Sons Productions continues its tradition of presenting music that bridges eras while innovating for the future. Perez's ability to craft tracks that are deep and balanced vintage-infused techno.
