CF Premiere: Yuliën – Zona Cero [Illegal Alien Records]

Published by

on

Deported Series: Thirteen is the latest annual Various Artists installment from Illegal Alien Records, a tradition that has become a core statement of the label’s vision and character. True to its essence, this edition brings together emerging talents and established figures from the global techno scene within a carefully curated meeting point. Experience and freshness converge under a firm, recognizable sonic identity cultivated over nearly two decades. Each volume does more than compile tracks—it constructs narrative and cultural positioning.

The compilation navigates techno across a broad spectrum—from groovy and raw to hypnotic and deep—while maintaining a demanding standard of quality, coherence, and sonic density. Every track reaffirms the label’s commitment to a bold and authentic aesthetic, avoiding fleeting trends and easy concessions. More than a collection of individual pieces, Deported Series: Thirteen stands as a testament to the platform’s past, present, and future. Diversity, identity, and a genuine passion for techno culture intertwine in a powerful declaration of continuity.

We close our coverage—spanning five tracks across both installments—with Yuliën // Orbital 14, the alias of Julián Rodríguez, a DJ and producer central to the Galician scene. Born in Boiro and currently based in Vigo, he discovered his affinity for electronic music at an early age through acid house and Detroit techno. Influenced by artists in his environment since he was 15, he has shaped a style that blends electric intensity and darkness with rhythmic precision and personal sensitivity. He is also the founder of Nulla Records, a platform through which he promotes projects aligned with his artistic vision and underground ethos.

Zona Cero is a powerful and relentless track that gradually builds an imposing, high-impact texture. Sonic layers rise subtly until forming a diverse yet cohesive whole, where each element occupies its precise space. The sound design is sharp and refined—crisp, accented by metallic flashes and immersive atmospheres that strategically retract at peak moments. A forceful and perfectly structured closing statement, befitting a series that understands techno as a declaration of principles.
