Julian Bevan

Julian Bevan (DJ Julian) is a DJ from Brooklyn, New York. From 1983-1985 Julian was lead singer in the hardcore band Sluggo from Cincinnati, Ohio. After the band broke up he moved to New York City to attend art school and pursue a career as a graphic designer and a Hip Hop DJ. He started spinning in Brooklyn in 1988, and steadily built a successful 20-year DJ career that saw him playing in clubs all over NYC, the country, and the world. During the 90s he toured the country as both a solo DJ, a member of ganster Trigga Happy, and with live bands as their resident DJ, opening up for top tier Hip Hop acts like The Fugees and The Notorious B.I.G. He has since hung up his headphones, occasionally dusting off his 20,000-deep vinyl collection for random gigs here and there. He has compiled an archive of 20 years worth of DJ mixes he has available on his website for free. Simultaneously, Julian built a professional career as a graphic designer in television where he recently won an Emmy award for his work with The History Channel.
