Julian van den Boom (Tropical Tracks)

When intercultural competence hooks up with music, a universal language might emerge. Cologne-based producer Julian van den Boom is a wanderer between several cultures. With an open mind and a curious interest for the symbolism of different cultures, this musical chameleon refines his smoky urban beats in an exotic fusion of Jazz, Hip Hop and lush elements of Asian styles from Mumbai to Ubud. Julian's tracks might transport you to Lower Manhattan for a sweet night of lovemaking, or just as well onto a barque drifting through the Sunderbarns in the soft glow of the evening sun.
