Julian Reyes of KEYFRAME has been a longtime partner of Pyramind, America’s premiere music production school.
Julian Reyes began his career as a professional computer graphics artist and 3D animator, primarily for demonstrative evidence used in court trials (e.g. accident recreations, forensic animations, medical illustrations). He then spent many years working in design and marketing for technology companies, engineering firms, and design studios. His love for electronic music inspired him to launch his media and publishing firm Keyframe-Entertainment. Since 2013, Keyframe has released music on its label, managed artists, sponsored music festivals, published films and books, and directed crowdfunding and marketing campaigns.
Julian Reyes has years of experience as Executive Producer, Music Director, and DJ. His creative pursuits reflect a lifelong dialogue with an array of art, music, and technology. As an artist manager and A&R, Julian has been responsible for bringing artists to Drizzly Records, Joof Recordings, Rapid Response, GigaBeat, Pangea Recordings, and many more. He’s connected Paul Oakenfold with DJ Jason Knight’s track “Deep Forest” (Derek Ryan remix with vocals by Jiin) which was featured on the new Four Seasons – Autumn Album (Mixed By Paul Oakenfold) Track #9. Julian also has been the San Francisco representative for the Ultra Music Festival for several years, and has collaborated on numerous Burning Man sound camps.
Julian created Keyframe-Entertainment, a company that bridges underground culture and the mainstream, and showcases a selection of San Francisco’s best DJs, producers, and events. Keyframe’s initial mission was to share the Bay Area underground sound globally and to create prosperity for the international electronic dance community.
In 2017, Julian was inspired by the philosophy of remixology to not only produce the music remixes of IAMEVE’s 2016 “Starman,” but to remix the music video as well. The “Starman” track was remixed by Dissolv & Mixwell, and Dandy Ryder, and the video made its launch on OneEDM. http://keyframe-entertainment.com/iameve-starman-keyframe-remixes/
Julian also has years of experience working in the studio and offering strategy services to artists such as Malian Lahey, Dissolv, IAMEVE, The Wisdom of Shankara, MetaTek, Derek Ryan, and Trunkate. http://keyframe-entertainment.com/music/
Julian is on the Board of Directors of the Electronic Music Alliance, a collaboration that aids in cultivating and celebrating social responsibility, environmental stewardship, community building and volunteerism within Electronic Music culture. http://www.ema-global.org
Keyframe has extensive experience working in film production and screening.
Keyframe produced the film Electronic Awakening, an ethnographic documentary that investigates the spirituality and mysticism of Electronic Dance Music culture. Electronic Awakening is designed as a theatrical adventure, filled with cutting-edge 3D motion graphics from renowned video artists, exclusive footage from global festivals, insightful interviews, and a deep underground electronic music soundtrack featuring artists such as Shpongle, Phutureprimitive, The Crystal Method and Random Rab: http://www.electronicawakening.com/
Keyframe also coordinated its extensive international screening campaign. The film was screened at Harvard University, Yale University, Helsinki University, throughout Australia, Brazil, Canada, Europe, and Japan, and at festivals including Symbiosis, Lightning in a Bottle, MEME, Symbiosis, Photosynthesis, Atlas Festival, Earthdance, Burning Man, Boom Festival (Portugal), Rainbow Serpent (Australia), Eclipse 2012 (Australia), Cosmogenesis (South Africa), Synthesis 2012 in Mexico and many other events hosted by the EVOLVER network.
