Jullian Gomes, Jordan Arts 'Home' on World Without End

The note World Without End put out with the release says, "Together with Jordan Arts, Jullian Gomes delivers a captivating blend of rich, atmospheric layers, mesmerising percussion, and ambient synth melodies that transports you to a realm of musical bliss." 'Home', filed as Melodic House and Techno, arrived on the label in August, running at 120 BPM, and Ten Walls placed it first of 10 in his Winter Selection 2023 on 14 December.

Jullian Gomes' catalogue runs to six releases since August 2013, weighted toward Defected, which accounts for four of them; the most recent before this was 'Glue', on Lazy Days Music, back in 2020. The mix stays balanced between percussion and harmony, with percussion that neither crowds the frame nor thins it out. Levels sit kept down, with a fair amount of give under the peaks, and the treble neither glares nor recedes, a steady, even read built for a long set. First of 10 is a strong result for a catalogue that moves slowly and lands well when it does.
