D’Julz drops ‘JV’ LP on Bass Culture Records

Parisian house don D’Julz unveils the ‘JV’ LP on his Bass Culture Records on February 20th, finally bringing a once strictly vinyl-only JV project to a broader audience. Since 2018, JV Recordings has represented a tightly curated body of D’Julz’s personal work, shaped by years of experimentation, intuition, and unfiltered artistic freedom. Known for his long-standing Rex Club residency and releases on Circus Company, Ovum, 20:20 Vision, and Chiwax, D’Julz launches a bold new chapter, compiling seven JV back-catalogue gems alongside three fresh exclusives on his Bass Culture Records.

“This album captures the freedom I found in JV - no deadlines, no rules, just the sound of ideas taking shape naturally. JV is where I allow myself to follow a thread without worrying where it leads. The album is the result of following those threads for years.” - D’Julz

Opening with ‘J’y Vais’, the cut eases into layered textures, where woozy, deep bass tones and old-school chords glide over a tough kick and rattling percussion. ‘Triumphant’ follows with breakbeats, dubbed bass stabs, and retro synths, orbiting a growling low-end and warped vocals, while ‘Weekend Warriors’ shifts into a sleek organ-house trip, marked by chiming motifs and punchy drums. ‘Speak Up!’ taps into D’Julz’s decades-deep sensibility with a techier sun-soaked cut, before the industrial depth of ‘Chaplin’s Bong’ takes over - a track filled with oscillating echoes and a call-and-response narrative at its core.

Upping the anti, ‘Collective Effervescence’ delivers a French electro-leaning, snare-driven groove, balanced by the more minimal and skippy ‘Orderly Open (Dub)’, with its shimmering pads and ethereal samples drifting at the edges. ‘Goodjuju’ and ‘Le Day’ drift into a cosmic time warp where glowing harmonies evolve and glisten as drums develop in tandem, before ‘Celestia’ closes the journey with its deep, contemplative feel, where warm chords unfold into an atmospheric finale.

With JV, D’Julz delivers a full-circle statement - a project once built for vinyl diehards now reimagined for the many on Bass Culture Records, the label that has carried his vision from the start.

D’Julz ‘JV’ LP drops via Bass Culture Records on 20th February 2026 digitally, with a vinyl release of 'Speak Up' late-January.
