VI.BE

julèn is an electronic producer shaping a world of heavy drums, experimental percussion, and deep aggressive bass. Inspired by Burial, Autechre, and Blawan, he blends unconventional sound design with a deep sense of melancholy, creating dance-driven tracks built on aggressive bass, fractured rhythms, and non-traditional drum sources. His debut EP introduces this dark yet kinetic palette, and expands it with a mix of atmospheric ambient pieces and hard-hitting club material. Exploring field recordings and abstract textures, julèn crafts sonic identity that feels both emotional and industrial. his live show, centered around modular synths and hardware, takes these ideas into raw, improvised territory, offering a more physical and unpredictable experience than the studio recordings. As a finalist for Soundtrack by VI.BE and with performances at venues like De Serre and an appearance on GIMIC Radio, julèn is steadily carving out his space in the Belgian scene. His sets combine evolving rhythmic structures, immersive pads, and intimate vocal fragments sourced from personal archives and obscure corners of the internet, creating a contrast between harshness and vulnerability that defines his artistic identity.
