Humble Beginnings: An Interview with Julius Jetson
In February 2015 I took my first and only trip to Washington D.C. to visit a close friend. While there, he took me around to check out the city’s vibrant house and techno scene, including two visits to Flash nightclub.
On the first night at the intimate venue I had the pleasure of meeting Julian Ragland, a friend of his and one of the minds behind D.C.’s music community and promoters Nu Androids. It so happens that Nu Androids were hosting Dirtybird artist Kill Frenzy that night and the place was jam packed – an impressive feat for a Wednesday. I have since come to grow tremendous respect for Julian’s work in the D.C. electronic music scene as both an artist and event curator, constantly seeing him push the boundaries from both platforms. Although I never had the chance to see him play live (he produces and spins under the alias Julius Jetson), I have seen the tremendous success and support his productions and performances have received in the electronic music industry.
I recently had the chance to talk with Julian and discuss his past, present and future going forward as both an artist and at the helm of Nu Androids.
