Los Angeles, CA (August 2, 2023) – Julien-K was born in 2003, brought to life by the creative alliance between Orgy co-founders, Amir Derakh and Ryan Shuck. While working on Orgy’s third album, Punk Statik Paranoia (2004), Shuck and Derakh began to realize that their creative vision differed from that of singer, Jay Gordon. While Shuck and Derakh wanted Orgy to pursue a more experimental, electronic path, Gordon wanted the band to be heavier with more rock influence. That is when the “Julien-K experiment” began.
True to their revolutionary ways, Julien-K’s signature blend of rock, pop, and dark electro transforms Rammstein’s “Radio,” which highlights the electronic and boundary-pushing foundation upon which Julien-K was built. This experimental ingenuity became the mainstage for an international career spanning two decades, as they continue to maintain their place in the spotlight, in a league all their own.

“Radio” arrives just in time to mark the 20th anniversary for the rivet-head rockers, who are celebrating with a brand-new album and national tour across the United States, alongside fellow dark electronic acts, Powerman 5000 and Priest.
Julien-K’s electronic galvanization of this Neue Deutsche Härte anthem serves as one of the premiere singles from upcoming full-length feature, A Tribute to Rammstein, available worldwide on August 25th.
