Industrial Techno Producer & DJ Dark | Dramatic | Medieval-Apocalyptic Based in Toulouse, France
From the shadows of Toulouseβs underground rises Julien ABK, a 26-year-old French DJ and producer who has carved a space for himself in the raw, unrelenting world of Industrial Techno. Since its debut at the end of 2021, Julien has become a name whispered through the corridors of concrete warehouses and echoed across clandestine rave floors, where intensity and emotion converge in a dance of chaos and catharsis. A Karnage soldier under the banner of the French booking agency Kaonashi, Julien ABK embodies a vision of techno that is both brutal and cinematic β merging medieval-apocalyptic atmospheres with dense, cavernous rhythms and haunting Eastern European undertones. His sound is dramatic, often teetering between collapse and transcendence, rooted in a world where machines bleed and basslines bruise. Julienβs performances are not simply DJ sets β theyβre rituals of rupture. Whether in the thick fog of a Techno rave in KrakΓ³w, the industrial depths of Lyonβs warehouses, or the underground veins of Toulouse, he delivers uncompromising energy with a visceral edge. From clubs to underground sanctuaries, his presence ignites the darkest corners of the dance floor. As a producer, Julien ABKβs sonic signature has infiltrated some of the most respected underground labels in his field. With releases on Exaltation (Berlin), Schissma (Warsaw), and Wanderlust (Berlin), his work stands as a testament to his meticulous craftsmanship and bold artistic vision. Backed by respected international names like La Penderie Noire, BΓΈery, and SantΓΈs, his tracks resonate far beyond borders, carrying the torch of a new generation of techno insurgents. Inspired by industrial titans such as Paula Temple, Vera Grace, and Morsure, Julien ABK channels their ethos into a sound that is uniquely his: unrelenting, immersive, and charged with calculated darkness.
