Marcu Marius Iulian, a.k.a. Julian M was born in Constanta, Romania, on September 7th, 1984. He was first exposed to electronic music around 1990, when he found his father's recordings on cassettes and vinyl records, mostly synth-rock from the 70's , and electro-pop from the 80's. He instantly fell in love with the warm, electrifying sound of bands such as Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, Duran Duran, Kajagoogoo, Talk Talk, and Gary Numan.
Around '93-'94, he started experiencing the music and lifestyle of rave culture, which was developing in Western Europe at the time, starting with Prodigy of course, followed by Scooter, Dune, Technohead. He starts buying electronic music compilations which were extremely available at the time, and begins a pirate radio station first named Maxx, and then changed to Future fm, in the hope of better promoting electronic music.
In 1997, he discovers trance music through the TechnoClub compilations of Talla2XLC. Shortly after, thanks to Dan Rotaru, whom he met around the same time, and who became his musical mentor, he discovers the British underground movement focused on big beat and drum 'n' bass. In 1998 he starts composing music, discovering the potential of computer software, which was constantly evolving at the time. He spent the year 1998 learning how to mix records spending most of his time in clubs around Constanta, that had started to play house music. This was only his first step to truly understanding the art of mixing music, and with time, he managed to become a resident dj in clubs such as: Ibiza Summer Groove, Club Oxxo and The Note Beach Club, all located in Constanta. He also started to mix around the country, in Sibiu, Cluj, Bucharest, and Satu Mare.
Since 2002, he has been part of Octopus Corporation, a non-profit organization with a very strong purpose: to promote and spread electronic music and the digital culture in general. As a producer, he began composing and remixing styles ranging from trance to trip-hop, and drum 'n' bass. Throughout time, he has changed his nicknames many times. Such examples include dj Joe, dj Houseman, dj XTC and Biomechanoid. A moment of good luck has taken him to the Irish Pub in Constanta, where he found exactly what he wanted: the chance to promote a fusion of electronic and jazz music, deep and funky, but mainly based on ambient influences,where he is a resident dj for 3 years now. As a producer, he completely focused on downbeats, taking care of many projects consecutively, that allowed him to gracefully blend experimental and alternative music. Signing with Glorybox Records Italy (www.gloryboxrecords.com),Julian has released 3 EPs digitally,on Juno and Beatport. Also his tracks appeared on some compilations such as 'Compendiu de Muzica Electronica',and made a remix for Infectator Com,which appeared on their album. In 2007 Julian signed with a management agency,Media Promo,looking forward to spread good music across clubs all over Romania. His main purpose now is to gain funds for buying proper equipment,and find a bigger label which might be interested in his work.
Aside music, Julian Morris also has a passion for photography,exposing his analog made pictures on http://earthlab.deviantart.com (nature dedicated) and http://julian-m.deviantart.com (various pictures). Also,he studies Psychology,being in terminal year at the Ovidius University in Constanta.
