Berlin-based award-winning producer, label owner, and one of Europe’s most sought-after house DJs – has left an indelible mark on the global electronic music scene.

With over 100 releases and remixes on acclaimed labels such as MoBlack, Dessous, Poker Flat, Crosstown Rebels, Stil vor Talent, Systematic, Bunny Tiger, Katermukke, Bar 25 Music, and Ritter Butzke, his prolific output cements his status as a house music innovator.

Phonique's career catapulted to fame in 2004 with the iconic club anthems “The Red Dress” and “For the Time Being.” However, it was his timeless hit “Feel What You Want” from his 2010 album – amassing over 50 million views on YouTube – that solidified his global reputation. His four critically acclaimed albums showcase his evolving sound, diverse influences, and profound intuition for igniting dance floors worldwide.

In July 2022, Phonique launched his label Zatar Music, debuting with a Korolova remix of “Feel What You Want.” The label highlights his melodic and Afro-Arabic house inspirations, drawing from his travels to countries like Jordan, Ukraine, and Armenia. With releases from artists such as Fairplay, Roo, Nilu, and Gui Boratto, Zatar Music embodies Phonique’s adventurous sonic vision. Remixes by Hyenah, Korolova, Gorje Hewek, and others have earned Zatar tracks spots in Black Coffee’s Spotify playlist and Adriatique’s iconic Cercle set.

2022 also marked Phonique’s residency at Berlin’s renowned club Ritter Butzke, following his debut release on their label. Playing alongside international stars like Korolova and Franky Wah, Phonique continues to inspire with his electrifying performances.

As Identification, his debut album, approached its 20th anniversary, Phonique is planning a special release featuring acoustic reinterpretations and fresh remixes of classics like “For the Time Being feat. Erlend Oye” and “Café Monte Carlo feat. Dixon.” This milestone reaffirms his ability to revisit and reinvent his own legacy.

An unexpected highlight in 2024 was the resurgence of “Feel What You Want” in its slowed version, trending on Shazam charts in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan, and peaking at #15 on the global Shazam charts. This momentum inspired an upcoming “All Mixes” release on Zatar Music, featuring remixes from Korolova, Vintage Culture, Bruno Be, Tom Novy, Aka Aka, and a highly anticipated new version by Ukrainian duo Artbat.

From his trailblazing productions to his residencies and label endeavors, Phonique remains a driving force in house music, pushing boundaries while staying true to the genre’s essence.

Paris, early ‘90s. The city was a schizophrenic beast—half-glamour, half-decay—where raves exploded like molotov cocktails in abandoned warehouses and smoke-filled basements. It was beautiful chaos. Somewhere in the thick of it was Julien Veniel, better known as D’Julz, spinning records with the focus of a surgeon and the cool detachment of someone who had seen it all.
Then came New York, 1993. A city that didn’t sleep but didn’t really dream either, at least not back then. Veniel—young, hungry, and too talented to ignore—found himself in the depths of sweaty dancefloors, perfecting his craft like a prizefighter working the heavy bag. The kicks were tighter, the grooves deeper, and his sound—dub-infused, stripped-down, relentless—started to carve its way into the foundations of house and techno.
But Paris called him back. By 1997, he was behind the decks at the Rex Club, launching Bass Culture, a night that would quietly and ruthlessly become one of the most enduring parties in dance music. You could feel it in the air, heavy with smoke and sweat: something was happening. And week after week, D’Julz delivered. The music wasn’t just played; it was installed into your brain, a groove so potent it hijacked your nervous system.
The production side came next. 20:20 Vision, Ovum ,Circus Company. Robsoul. ,Rekids. Big labels, underground credibility. Tracks and remixes that hit like slow-burning dynamite—deceptively simple, brutally effective. DJs hoarded his records like they were holding nuclear launch codes.
Then there was Circoloco—DC10 . Ibiza’s sacred asylum for the beautifully deranged. D’Julz became a fixture for 7 years, a reliable madman behind the decks, controlling both the main room and the red terrace like a general marching his troops to the brink of delirium. His sets were measured doses of euphoria and dread, dubby basslines colliding with pulsing techno rhythms, all delivered with a sly grin and the calm of someone who knew.
By 2009, Bass Culture Records was born. A label as lean and unforgiving as its founder—no fluff, no filler, just raw, stripped-back house and techno that knew where it came from and where it was going. Over 70 releases later, it’s clear: D’Julz doesn’t miss.
Now, decades into this strange and relentless trip, D’Julz is still at it. The tour schedule is insane—Bali, Berlin, New York, and back again. Clubs and cities blend together, but the mission never changes: find the groove, ride it hard, and don’t let up until the lights come on.
D’Julz doesn’t care about trends. He doesn’t care about fame. He’s a purist, a craftsman, a man obsessed with the sound—the deep, pulsing, unstoppable sound. Three decades in and he’s still there, calm and unflinching, dropping records that hit like a gunshot in the dark.
If you want to understand D’Julz, don’t bother asking questions. Just listen. The truth is buried somewhere in the basslines.

//BIO
An overwhelming personality such as Gonçalo´s indisputably gives results. The Portuguese, nowadays settled in Ibiza, is a restless mind as he has proved during his career. During 8 years he has been the key behind great revulsion of Andalucia´s electronic scene from what was his base of operations, the capital of Seville. Gonçalo has marked a milestone in Seville, allowing its residents to enjoy, for the first time, performances from artists such as Michael Mayer, Jeff Mills, QBert, Afrika Baambataa, Locodice, Superpitcher, MANDY, Âme, Gabriel Ananda, Robert Dietz, Silicone Soul and Donnacha Costello amongst others, all of them guests at Gonçalo´s events. His partnership with this autonomous community is tight and productive. He became Creamfields Andalucia´s official DJ in 2009, and Dreambeach Villaricos´official DJ and artistic director from 2012 onwards. Both events are the most multitudinous musical events on “Costa del Sol”, Dreambeach Villaricos becoming one of the e most important festivals in Europe over the last years. 

He started a new residency in Madrid in 2013, same year in which he incorporated to Magnum Bookings´ team. Spain´s capital has been able to enjoy his eclectic sets in the best clubs such as Fabrik, Nox Club and Reverse, and at the best festivals such as WAN Festival where he performed after Richie Hawtin and Paco Osuna. But this is not all, Gonçalo has become a regular of the headline slots at outstanding clubs such as The Loft, Barraca, Industrial Copera, Pacha Ibiza, Pacha Barcelona, Privilege Ibiza, Resistance Ibiza, Sala Fonica, Family Club, Local 29, elRow (Barcelona), Café del Mar, and festivals such as Weekend Beach, Animal Sound, SOS 4.8, WAN o A Summer Story. Internationally his presence and relevance are equally prominent in countries such as Portugal (elRow, Brunch in the Park, Gare Club, Kadoc, Neopop), Inglaterra (elRow, Café 1001), Alemania (Weekend, Tresor), Austria (Flex), Italia (L’Alibi), Holanda (ADE), Bélgica (Tomorrowland Festival, Cafe D’Anvers) and USA (WCMiami). 

As a producer, Gonçalo accumulates several years of studies at music school expressing his great musical knowledge on Alma Soul Music, also forming part of the label’s team. . He has also released on Stereo, Amoeba and Clarisse, this last label being where he released his first EP by himself with massive support from important artists such as Carl Cox, Technasia, Nic Fanciulli and Joris Voorn amongst many others. 2018 will be his return to production, with several EPs that will be released on some of the most important current labels.
