Over the past decade, Julian Jeweil has risen to become one of one of electronic music s most respected artists and synonymous with cutting-edge melodic techno. Throughout his career, the Marseille-based artist has garnered numerous accolades and achievements including releasing on esteemed imprints such as Cocoon, M-nus and Plus 8, being Beatports #1 top selling techno artist (2015), remixing the likes of Moby, Deadmau5, Dubfire & Oliver Huntemann and Pan-Pot and performing at some of the worlds best clubs/events such as Fabric (UK), Womb (JP), D-Edge (BR), Drumcode OFF Week 2018 (ES), Drumcode Festival (NL), BPM Festival (PT) and Resistance (MX). With the accumulation of all of this success and experience, the time has now come for the talented Frenchman to continue his burgeoning relationship with Drumcode by following on from his well-received debut Rolling EP (2017) and Space EP (2017) with his much-awaited debut long-player, Transmission comprising of 11 stellar tracks inspired by Jeweils ambition to produce an album for the dancefloor that would fully represent him without setting any limitations or boundaries. The alluring space-themed LP commences with the exquisite synth-laden beatless composition Intro which is closely followed by one of the album s darker standout moments, the stomping peak-time title track Transmission. Elsewhere, theres further dancefloor weaponry such as the pulsating synth-driven roller Mars, the edgy groove-based Hyoid and the trippy acid-tinged Turbulence. Other highlights include, Planet X which showcases Jeweils mastery of atmosphere, serving as an ambient downbeat interlude when placed between the pounding Berghain-esque workouts such as Internal and Futura. The album continues into its final triptych with Astral and Dorsal, 2 powerful bass heavy masterpieces, concluding with the aptly named emotional soundscape Final to round off a superb debut long-player thats well worth the wait. With Transmission I wanted to produce an album which would represent me a hundred percent, without limiting myself or setting boundaries. It was important for me to make an LP where every single track could be used in a mix as well as listened to at home.
