New York, NY (Top40 Charts) He may be a new name within the Madrid and European scene, but JGR's links with music in his native Chile have been strong for the past 15 years. Coming from a family with a long heritage in radio, he led one at an early age - Horizonte, an FM station that had a deep impact on young generations through its carefully curated alternative music selection. He also extended that influence into the online era, with a sister station called Rinoceronte. At the same time, he started DJing in 2005, taking advantage of his well trained ear to meticulously select tunes from a wide array of electronic music genres. His healthy reputation in the country led him to play at the biggest stages the country could offer, with festivals like Fauna Primavera, Creamfields and Mysteryland coming along the way, as well as Fun Haus, a party he co-founded. Living in Madrid for the past two years, and since then retired from mass media, Julian decided to fulfill one big pending challenge in his life and learn how to produce his very own musical ideas. And with years specializing in house and disco, and later on in psychedelic chuggy beats, he crafted a style that fits seamlessly within the current dark disco scene. Sideral is his debut EP, and through its three original songs he showcases that deeper sound of his spectrum, complete with different layers of space and futuristic elements. And also, surprising no one due to his background, with the ability to spot hooks that can linger in your head for quite a while. The album artwork is a showing of great multi-disciplinary collaboration from his native Chile - with work from talented photographer José Moraga and designer Sergio Andrade.
