“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. The album's concept was simple: Transmission tells a story; my techno story" Julian Jeweil

France’s globetrotting techno DJ/producer Julian Jeweil set to release debut artist album Transmission via Adam Beyer’s illustrious Drumcode Records on 7 January 2019. 

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 Beatport’s #1 top selling techno artist (2015), remixing the likes of Moby, Deadmau5, Dubfire & Oliver Huntemann and Pan-Pot and performing at some of the world’s 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 Jeweil’s 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, there’s 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 Jeweil’s 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 that’s well worth the wait.

With more than 25 years of experience as a DJ, he can reveal with an open heart that music has not always been there for him, but then there came a time in his life when it became as obvious as oxygen is to our survival.  It was electronic dance music that made him completely enthralled and over the actual impact of music on us.

Psychedelic trance is and should be what the meaning of the word psychedelic says, to put us in a deeper consciousness, if only for a shorter time in the place, then and there, where the dance is and where you are at the time being. Lurfilur has the intention to touch senses and to take control to create an personal and unique inner journey with his choice of music.

He does not consider himself to have any specific technique or play style, but it’s the occasion in itself, together with you and the enviroment the technique take place, so as speak, to be custom made to be best suited.

Lurfilur is very selective in its choice of music and song compositions and they can be seen as both playfully monotone and in a colorful gray scale.  Energy and storytelling are a dynamic duo. It’s the whole that matters.

And for the techno part, as DJ Prankzter, it’s very much the same as described above but instead of trance it’s techno. His intension is very much the same, to keep the rhytm going and the bass rolling, to keep it psychedelic.

This the goal of the performance, both for either Lurfilur or Prankzter. With the dancefloor and with You we are all one.
