ABS (Julian D.A.)
Born in 2000, ABS real name Julian D.A., found his passion for electronic music at an early age. What began as a personal fascination quickly evolved into a serious artistic pursuit. By 2017, he had already attracted attention from several agencies, marking the start of his professional journey. Over the following years, he immersed himself in the studio, dedicating countless hours to honing his skills and cultivating a signature sound that fuses the deep, driving intensity of PSY-TECH, the raw energy of BUSH techno, and the shadowy textures of Dark Minimal Tech.

Drawing inspiration from the intricate sonic worlds of KEN ZO, ABS’s musical vision is also shaped by influential artists such as Greenwolve, Dragota, Lampé, Miles from Mars, Electrypnose, and Unknown Concept. His DJ sets are characterized by pulsating basslines, immersive atmospheres, and carefully layered rhythms, crafted to evoke emotion and create an evolving, high-impact experience on the dance floor.

ABS has shared the stage with renowned international acts including Victor Ruiz, Alex Stein, LEWIS.(alula tunes), Breger (kafka tempo), Aka Nina, KOZY (AlpaKa MuziK), Scionaugh | Sciotech (Universal Tribe Records), Phoenix Movement (Enter Audio), Reza Golroo, Christian Craken, Miles from Mars, Lampe, Andre Winter, Suspect One, Luis M and Kuni (AlpaKa MuziK). These collaborations have cemented his place within the underground electronic music scene, and further validated his rising profile as a compelling live performer.

For ABS, music is more than a medium, it’s a mode of expression, a lifestyle, and a means of connection. Each set serves as a personal narrative, transforming internal emotion into a shared sonic journey. He thrives on the energy exchange between artist and audience, using hypnotic rhythms and raw, driving beats to build a powerful, unified atmosphere that lingers long after the final track.

As he continues to evolve his sound, ABS remains deeply rooted in the underground ethos that first inspired him. With an ever-expanding artistic vision and an unyielding commitment to his craft, ABS is poised to leave a lasting mark on the global electronic music landscape.

~"I think electronic music is the future of music as any sound is accessible at any given time in any desired sequence.
You just have to first imagine it,
Then determine how to achieve/attain it."

Amaluna is the cosmic collaboration of New Zealand-born Tara aka FlibbertiGibbet and Zimbabwean-born Wendy aka Małpka who first connected on the electric dance floors of London’s vibrant psytrance scene. 

Shattered Barriers promoter Abhi Trance first booked them to play a back-to-back set at his event in April 2017 and they enjoyed it so much they decided to do it again in September for top London night Tribal Village at the Steelyard, where they played a high energy closing set in the second room. This confirmed that they were definitely on to something good, and so Amaluna was officially launched at Astral Circus at London’s Electrowerkz in November 2017, where they closed the alternative room after one of their favourite producers Ben Coda.

2018 saw them make their main room debut at Tribal Village, warm up the Sunshine Deck at the Psymera Boat Party and play an epic three sets at Noisily Festival, where they warmed up for Saturday’s Zenon takeover on the Liquid Stage and managed to blag a second set between Breger and Evil Oil Man after the third DJ didn’t turn up – sharing the stage with their all-time musical idols Grouch and Sensient in the process. They capped the day off with a downtempo set at the Bassport FM stage, where they played a few of their favourite bass tracks.

A multi-genre duo with an interest in the experimental evolution of music, they love breaking musical boundaries with eclectic tracks to drive the dance floor to new levels. The diversity of their combined tastes unites psychedelic bass lines, glitchy melodies and quirky compositions to create something truly unique.

Thanks to their passion for seeking out and sharing new sounds, they transmit a powerful energy from the decks to the dance floor. Signed to Free-Spirit Records, after releasing their ‘Lunar Phase’ compilation and playing at some of their favourite parties & festivals such as Astral Circus, Tribal Village, World Lounge Project, the Psymera Boat Party, Planet Shroom, Psy-Sisters, Noisily, Indigenous and Anthropos Festivals, they’re still buzzing from playing at the awe-inspiring Tribe of Frog stage at Boomtown Fair this summer alongside some of their favourite DJs and producers.

Odyssee Berlin marks Amaluna’s European debut and they’re putting together an extra-special set that showcases their eclectic sounds to welcome in the New Year!
