Gerard presents The Hit List 045 with guest 6047 on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is an Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency, promoter and music-news platform connecting audiences across Asia and internationally.
Gerard is a DJ from Florida, USA, whose work is shaped by production, energy and a strong interest in electronic music. His sets and productions centre on House music, and he has performed for audiences in a range of settings.
Gerard began as part of DeviceRATT with F.L.I. Records, where his interest in electronic music developed into a lasting commitment to the genre. He found his path through the beats and sounds that informed his early work and performances.
He performed across South Florida’s underground scene, including at Treehouse and Nocturnal. Those appearances brought positive reviews, sold-out shows and a growing fan base.
In 2014, Gerard released his debut with Aerotek Records and subsequently established a place within the electronic scene. Further releases for labels including Pure Pitch and LTHM added to his catalogue.
Gerard’s work also took him beyond the United States, leading to residencies at venues across East Asia. There, he was performing for audiences and building on the achievements of his home scene.
After developing a sizeable following in venues, Gerard became an established figure on China’s music scene. When the pandemic struck, he returned to America and was unable to continue his work in the Far East.
Since returning to the United States, Gerard has continued to wield his craft and perform for audiences. His following has grown internationally as his music has reached listeners beyond his original scenes.
Guest DJ 6047 (first hour)
California native 6047 (read as 60:47) is a Los Angeles-based multi-styled electronic DJ & producer whose musical diversity is reflected in his mixes & productions, to date he has well over 800 releases across a variety of genres and labels.
Attention to detail is what is always present in his work; rather than boring people with long-winded bios written in 3rd person about his musical accomplishments, he prefers to let the music do all the talking, his musical style revolves around Progressive, technical break/beat matching.
His mixes have been featured on the best podcasts & radio stations worldwide, and we look forward to his new mix featuring House, Deep House, Tech House, and Minimal.
6047 opens the first hour with Deetron’s remix of Eric Volta and Gaika before Leonardo Gonnelli keeps the set moving through deeper, dub-inflected Tech House. Guy Mantzur and Sahar Z follow with the Cornucopia remix of “Temporary Sanity,” adding a more progressive feel without breaking the understated rhythm of the opening section.
Hunzed and Harvey lead into Damian Lazarus and The Ancient Moons before Clarian and Recondite take the hour into darker and more spacious territory. Wayne Duggan and Toni Varga with De La Swing then close 6047’s section with a blend of Deep House, progressive touches and stripped-back club grooves.
Gerard begins the second hour with Michael A’s “Tension” in Luke Hunter’s remix, bringing Progressive House straight into the foreground. Riaz Dhanani with C.O.Z. and Stefano Noferini then push the set towards a firmer tech-house sound as the second hour gathers pace.
Ramin Rezaie and Scott Phillips continue that direct club approach before Luuk van Dijk and Wheats bring another strong tech-house moment with “U Trippin.” WEIRD., Andrew Azara and Elleot keep the groove compact and percussive before Gerard introduces Missy Elliott through Gagey’s edit of “Pass That Dutch.”
Anti-Anti closes the programme with “Heat,” finishing a second hour that is more immediate and rhythm-driven than 6047’s deeper opening set. Across Episode 45, the contrast works well, with 6047 leaning towards deeper and progressive house while Gerard shifts into tougher tech-house territory.
