He is the founder of two vinyl-only record labels, Fathers & Sons Productions (2012) and Girada Unlimited (2017), and has released music on Cocoon Recordings, Raum...musik, and Subwax Bcn, among others.[1] Perez was named one of the Ibiza season's breakthrough talents by Mixmag in 2014[2] and holds a summer residency at Underground Ibiza. He released his debut studio album, Solemnity, in 2016, and his second album, Break-Even, in 2021.

Career

Early career

Julian Perez worked in advertising and graphic design in Alicante, Spain from approximately 2000 to 2005, before relocating to Ibiza in 2006.[2] He began performing at after-parties and smaller venues on the island, eventually focusing on music production full-time. His first releases appeared around 2010.

Fathers & Sons Productions (2012–present)

In 2012, Perez founded Fathers & Sons Productions, a vinyl-only record label based in Ibiza.[1] The label, described by Resident Advisor as known for "subtle, dubby house" music, released twelve records over four years, featuring artists including S.A.M., Livio & Roby, and Brian Harden.[1] During this period, Perez also released material on Steve Lawler's VIVa Music imprint and was involved in the tINI and the Gang touring collective.[2]

In 2016, Perez made his debut on the Berlin-based Raum...musik imprint with the Now, After 12-inch, described by Resident Advisor as "versatile material suitable for late-set club play."[3]

Fathers & Sons Productions initially closed in late 2016 with the release of Perez's debut album, Solemnity, a double LP spanning eleven tracks across four vinyl sides.[4] XLR8R described the album as featuring "floating soundscapes, electro-tinged 909 beats, spaced-out club weapons, and deep, dub techno."[4]

The label was reactivated in 2023 with FAS012+1, followed by FAS014 in 2025, both released by Perez on the label.[5]

Girada Unlimited (2017–present)

In 2017, Perez founded Girada Unlimited, a second vinyl-only label. The label's tenth release was his second studio album, Break-Even (2021).[6] The label has hosted releases by artists including Franco Cinelli and D&S.[7]

In 2026, Perez published INTERFASE: The Infinite Set, a book on DJing and electronic music culture, released in English and Spanish.
