This is the second time Juheun appears on the label — his previous outing was via a collab with Japan’s Drunken Kong last year for the spellbindingly raw and energy-filled cut, ‘Open Door’.

Every city has its own scene, and it’s refreshing to see people who are just as passionate as I am about techno. One of my favourite things is hearing what the local DJs are into and how they play. This is what really inspires me and keeps me pushing. Nothing is more exciting than to receive amazing vibes and energy from the dance floor and bringing it back to the studio with me. I’m also very heavy into producing on the road on my laptop, and I often find myself back in the hotel or on the next plane ride with my mobile studio working on new ideas and beats.

One of the most authentic stars to emerge onto the US techno circuit in the past decade, Juheun is pushing his performance setup to the next level in 2023 with the announcement of his debut initiative within the live space. Travelling through North America, Latin America, Asia and beyond, Juheun will present a live hybrid setup through his upcoming Multiplanetary Tour, whilst showcasing a whole host of unreleased music alongside the cardinal cuts of his discography.

Techno visionary, Octopus Recordings mainstay, and Circuit ringleader, Juheun, is the type of creator who strives to stay one step ahead of the curve. He’s an expert when it comes to everything digital and analog, bringing his unique talents to the forefront whenever he steps behind the booth or in the studio. But, while fans have been patiently waiting for new music to drop in 2023, Juheun has actually been hard at work dreaming up and bringing to life a brand new hybrid live tour concept.

Nome forte do cenário underground e defensor de um som único e inovador que celebra o techno minimal dramático junto a basslines intrigantes e melodias cativantes, o vasto catálogo de obras de Juheun são sucesso no Beatport.

Após anos aprimorando suas habilidades no estúdio e cultivando esse som inconfundível, Juheun se tornou um mestre de suas máquinas, tanto digitais quanto analógicas, explorando seus cantos mais sombrios para extrair as sensibilidades espaciais e inorgânicas que seu público conhece e deseja.

Famed for his ability to evolve with the times and integrate the latest technology and hardware into his sets, Juheun’s inaugural live station expands on his current setup with the addition of the Grace Design m900 DAC, Ableton Live, Novation Launch Pad Mini, Native Instruments Maschine Mikro and Faderfox MX12.

The desert-dwelling Juheun has become quite an indispensable member of both the techno community as well as the Octopus Recordings family since his arrival on the production front over a decade ago. His music comes ripe with drama and dosed with hypnotic rhythms, offering the perfect soundtrack for soul transcendence under the lasers and lights. Some of his best work materializes through the soundwaves of “Digital High,” “Constant Rising” with Dusty Kid, “Instant Communication,” and his collaboration with Tronic mainstay Drunken Kong, “Open Door.”

Un gigante del techno de buena fe, Open Door fusiona la energía característica de Drunken Kong y la percusión hermética con las vibraciones cósmicas y los ritmos hipnóticos de Juheun; un combo que impulsa la pista de principio a fin. Creado con nada más que la pista de baile en mente, Juhuen & Drunken Kong han creado un disco que instantáneamente elevará al oyente a la siguiente dimensión, durante esas horas pico en el almacén.

Phoenix, Arizona-based artist, Juheun, has earned himself an enviable reputation as one of the most exciting talents to break onto the American techno circuit over the past few years. Following a wealth of impressive career releases on the likes of Octopus Recordings, Set About and Kuukou to name a few, the iconic American-Korean techno producer now announces his newest release — a collaboration with Drunken Kong titled Open Door on Christian Smith’s esteemed Tronic imprint.

“No se me ocurre mejor manera de cerrar 2022 que debutando en el sello Tronic de Christian Smith. Ha sido uno de los sellos de referencia más importantes para mi crecimiento como productor y colaborar con mis amigos Drunken Kong es la guinda del pastel. Dee y Kyoko son productores de gran talento y personas increíbles, y espero que todo el mundo disfrute con el disco tanto como nosotros haciéndolo. Estoy impaciente por enseñaros lo que tengo preparado para 2023, ¡va a ser un año de locos!”
