◈ #WhiteLabelFriday

Where ever you are in the world, we hope you are enjoying yourself. It's holiday season here in the States and we are feeling grateful for an amazing year of music and inspiration despite all the negativity going on outside of music. 

For our 13th edition of our White Label Series we have our good brother oriJanus who we have been connecting with since the beginning of our time. If there is one word we can describe to represent OJ it would be a perfectionist. This is one of those organic connections that we wanted to let fall into place on it's own and here we are. Representing Bakersfield, CA, this young 21 year old recently took the leap from his hometown in Bakersfield to Los Angeles and it's exciting to see how far he has come. 

It was a few months back at our Stussy collab party where we realized that he's got next. He hit us with this crazy remix of the classic So:Ho "Hot Music" and we knew we and to build something off of it. We hope you enjoy his take on sampling and fusing it together with his signature-hard hitting rhythms.

An Intimate Conflict

Julion De’Angelo follows up his split release on Theo Parrish’s Sound Signature, with his first solo release, Stand On Your Square, on Tone Log Jr. 
    The album opens up with words by Skip Burney, a percussionist who has toured with the likes of Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner, and Miles Davis. In the recording, Burney shares his thoughts on the commitment required to be a part of an African drum tradition; however, what he’s saying can be applied more broadly to a larger commitment to music, and even further, a wholehearted devotion to a code, an ethic, a mission. This is the larger message Julion is communicating throughout the entirety of Stand On Your Square: the history and severity of tradition, specifically African traditions. Stand On Your Square Parts 1 and 2 (A and B2 respectively), reflect chaos as the norm, each track finding their peace and discipline in African rhythms differently. The song, Sizzlean (B1) is a stripped down beat track that most directly showcases his roots as a dancer. Stand On Your Square is a fuller look at a new artist who has much more to share with us; and at its simplest reading, it compels us to move.

Julion De’Angelo is a producer and DJ originally from North Carolina, and currently based in Detroit, MI. Julion has been making music since he was a child in NC.  From playing the bass, cello, and drums since his preteen years, music has always been the center of Julion’s world. He’s played in a number of bands, from free jazz and metal, to noise and punk. It’s this experimental sensibility, and familiarity with the avant-garde that he brings to each of his musical endeavors, and specifically the dance floor. 
Julion’s first club experiences took place at the D.I.Y. club, Nightlight and at FrequeNC parties, in Chapel Hill, NC. These are the places where a stronger understanding of dance music and of bodily movement began to take shape for Julion. In all of his work, there is an acute attention to the impact of vibrations on bodies, as well as the (sacred) energetic relationship that can occur between musician and listener.  
Upon moving to Detroit, Julion continues to deepen his immersion in the world of contemporary Black music. In 2017, he released a debut split-EP called “Roots That Talk” with Thomas Xu, on Sound Signature; this joint release inspired them to host party of the same name. He has been featured locally at parties like Music Gallery, where he also engineers sound. In addition, Julion helps organize and engineer the event Black Music, with Deon Jamar. Internationally, Julion has performed at venues like E1 London, Le Sucre, and C12 alongside mentors like, Theo Parrish and Specter.
