Love Song 28

Jullian Gomes – Late Dreamer

Jullian Gomes – Late Dreamer, Now available for pre-order from iTunes, Google Play & Amazon MP3.

From the age of 13, Jullian Gomes secretly gambled every cent of his school lunch money on buying deep-house records; no doubt with the unknown knowledge that someday, these records would change his life forever.

Only a few people know this but Jullian used to sneak, yes! sneak into local clubs in and around Pretoria / Tshwane from a very early age. At this time nothing could stop this young man being ‘in the moment’ to enjoy the music that has now, amazingly, become his full time career. Maybe his parents will be ok with the knowledge of his secret nightlife now knowing how incredibly skilled and loved their son has become throughout the world of dance music. Jullian Gomes is truly a very dedicated individual, and this young musical maestro has in just a few years leaped forward and galvanised a career for himself in a very competitive industry.

From his brief visit to London for the Red Bull Music Academy in 2010, to releasing his debut album ‘Late Dreamer’ in 2016, Gomes, with a lot of hard grafting built up his relationships and very quickly covered a lot of very bumpy and obstacle-ridden ground to get him to where he is today. To say this man is ‘Here To Stay’ is a massive understatement.

Late Dreamer is unmistakably the sound of ‘Jullian Gomes’ – wonderfully laid back, thick chunky beat-ridden soulful house music featuring some incredible talent. From the teachings of the wonderful wordsmith OVEOUS, to South Africa’s most celebrated female in dance music ‘Bucie’, Liquid Deep’s ‘Ziyon’ and talenteers Lazarusman, Daev Martin, Sio, Kabomo, Bobby, UK-based Sarai Jazz, and Martin Iveson. A clear and well though out collection of songs, that together make a warm and attractive addition to the world of electronic soul music.

This debut album started out its life in a spark of realisation with Jullian’s mind working in overdrive thinking way back to a time where it all started for him. Working his day job to make his daily bread and thereafter falling asleep in his home studio in the dark of night pushing to carve his musical career. Waking up one morning ‘late’ to go to his day job, he asked himself the question “What am I late for?” this lead to Jullian’s priorities shifting wildly planting the seed that he may be too late to follow the dreams he had for all these years.

This album and indeed Gomes’ whole musical career is the biggest leap of faith he has ever taken and it sure has paid off. Jullian may be in his own eyes a ‘Late Dreamer’, yet he has proved time and time again that dreams can come true if you believe.

Jullian Gomes talks Music Life!…

With a comprehensive approach to his style of music it is resoundingly clear that music has been his personal journey toward self discovery. A melodic oasis of sorts which saw him define his style outside of his family and mainstream fetishism, the result of which is a sound and style like none ever before heard or experienced.

Candid about the obstacles faced on his journey toward self and music, Gomez shares that these are but moments in his life which have since earned him the accolades he has been adorned with by both his peers and audience.

A sonic absorption of energy from the townships of Pretoria to night clubs in Paris, Gomez emphasises that the one and only relatable language spoken in these spaces is music. Familiar with early mornings and late nights, personal sacrifices have seen him carve sketches of his legacy. Unlike many mainstream dj’s and producers, his nouveau and eclectic sound is both effervescent in its contemporary relevance and ageless despite his youth. Here is an artist intent on discovering the ingredients for the perfect serving of wholesome music, the result, a timeless flavour to coax and flirt with our musical palates.

Sensual, freeing, colourful, new, euphoric, trance inducing, these are the nuances to the sound that Julian Gomez has introduced the world to.
He was told to be different, and different is what he was.

Jullian Gomes, South Africa’s wonderboy goes in and chows hard!

ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENCIAL & SOULFUL DANCE RECORDS TO COME OUT OF SOUTH AFRICA

Love Song 28, the song that established its writer Jullian Gomes. This incredibly talented young man hailing from Pretoria “Tshwane” in South Africa is now one of the most revered producer/DJs in the entire country.

Love Song 28 has been reworked on this particular release by Label head “Atjazz” & close label collaborator and master of his craft “Charles Webster”, two industry leaders bringing a new swing to what is Jullian’s most protected recording to date. Performing the glorious layered vocals on Love Song 28 is none other than “Bobby” and this coupled with the sultry chord layout is a musical match made in heaven. This stand out piece of work is already standing the test of time the world over. A real keeper and a song you’ll go back to for years to come.

Atjazz –  You’re a stylish young fellow, how important do you think image is being a travelling musician, producer, DJ?

JG – lol, I just put on what i feel. I think its important to represent yourself the best way that suits your personality.
Music and fashion have a lot in common, So at the end of the day you just got to do you.

Atjazz –  You’ve been to the UK many times now, how do you find it compared to home?

JG – Cold!! On a serious note, love the UK and i feel like i have a family there. I always just try and absorb all the good energy out of traveling around the world but i always bring it back home to South Africa.

Atjazz – Are you excited about your hit single being released on Vinyl worldwide?

JG – More than excited, As you know this is a song that is really close to me, a lot of sentimental value added in the recording. Im really happy with the remixes by Atjazz & Charles Webster and I’m glad we could have it on Vinyl, Which i always wanted. So overall I’m humbled by how everything turned out.

Atjazz –  You’re playing Southport Weekender’s SUNceBeat festive later this year, hows that working out for you as there seems to be the creme de la creme of South African DJs going this year?

JG – Yeah, Definitely. Iv heard only good things about the festival and I’m really looking forward to playing alongside some amazing Dj’s and friends.

Atjazz – What equipment do you use and what instruments really work for you?

JG – I Would say my mind is my biggest instrument, The ability to hear things from a different perspective and tell a story with it is what I’m trying to perfect on a daily basis.

Atjazz – How has the South African club scene changed in the last couple of years since its peak a few years ago?

JG – Its changed from back in the day, The super night club is non existent. Club Culture has changed in the form of clubs scaling down to more or less of a lounge set up, more intimate kinda vibe. Laws passed down from government have also made it harder for the aspiring club owner to get their business rolling, So its resulted in more outdoor and independent events around the country.

Atjazz – Any more G.Family music coming?

JG – We’ll have to wait and see

Atjazz – Well, thanks for that last answer Jullian, really gave us something to get our teeth into!. So there’s a man who plays his card close to his chest and rightly so, a young genius and style addict.

Love Song 28 is out now on limited Oxblood red splat picture disc vinyl. Digital hits the stores 16th May 2014.

Happy New Year 2014 :)

Atjazz Record Company wish you a very happy and healthy 2014 and also our warmest thanks for your continued support. x

This year we’ll be bringing you a plethora of amazing music, in the form of many artist albums and new imprint output. Atjazz will launch his new label “Less than 10” early this year focusing on ideas rather than large studio sound, he’ll also be dropping his new long player under his real name ‘Martin Iveson’ entitled ‘Galaxy Aart’. More from Martin with his collaboration with Si Tew as ‘Mist Works’, their album Network has been ‘almost finished’ for over 3 years and now it’s hatching from its incubation state, stay tuned for more on this very interesting project. Si Tew’s well anticipated 2nd album is set for release late April and South Africa’s ‘Thee Gobbs’ will be dropping his Debut album early summer. Let us not forget the other guys as they have also been working hard completing projects, DJ Tipz & TrueSelf both have debut albums released this year and these full length artist albums contain some of the deepest and sensual dance music we’ve ever heard and last but not least we welcome sir ‘Jullian Gomes’ to the family with brand new remixes of his classic ‘Love Song 28’. A lot to get through yes, but an incredible sound set for you to get your ears into. First up though before any of this hits the streets is the digital release of the fantastic album from Atjazz & Jullian Gomes ‘The Gift The Curse’, also Brandy’s ‘The Ritual’ including the secretive Atjazz Galaxy Aart Dub so keep your pennies in your pockets for a few more weeks as this year is #arcoyear #abitwordy #letsgetdancing #atjazz
