El Brujo presents episode 09 of El Brujo and the Wild Bunch 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.
Robert Milanesi, known as El Brujo, was born in Italy in the 1960s and developed a strong interest in music from an early age. By the early 1990s, he had become associated with Bologna’s underground rave culture and was recognised as one of the figures active in that scene.
His first official release, Warriors, appeared in 2008 through the Milan-based label Open Legs. Two years later, Jambalay Records was launched with an opening party at Club Geminis in Ibiza harbour.
El Brujo gained wider attention when Maya Jane Coles included one of his tracks in her February 2011 chart. The track, Mozambique, was a collaboration with Big Mojo and also appeared on the first physical CD release, Nutty Fellas Are Go.
His work continued to reach new audiences through further releases and label activity. The Jambalay Records catalogue documents part of that wider output and the artists connected with the imprint.
In 2019, Plastic Dreams, originally released on Frame Workxx, reached number 33 in Beatport’s Hard Techno Top 100. El Brujo has also released music through Elektrax, LW Recordings, Subwoofer, Berlin After Dark, Music Is The Drug, Gobekli Tepe, Fortwin Rec, Bunker, Mad Rhythm, SE7ENS and Physical Techno.
His productions are characterised by a raw and experimental approach that can move across different areas of electronic music. Darker Techno influences often sit alongside more abstract and unconventional elements within his work.
El Brujo also developed a monthly format featuring guest DJs from his Wild Bunch network of Techno producers and artists. For this edition, he instead presents promos and tracks from trusted collaborators and artists connected with his wider circle.
Guest DJ 6047 (second hour)
California native 6047 (read as 60:47) is a Los Angeles-based multi-styled electronic DJ & producer whose musical journey is a testament to his unwavering passion for creating unique and innovative sounds. With a career spanning over years, he has honed his craft and carved out a niche for himself in the electronic music scene.
His dedication to his artistry is evident in the sheer volume of his work, boasting well over 800 releases that showcase his versatility across a myriad of genres and labels. Each track and mix he produces is a labour of love, meticulously crafted with precision and care.
What sets 6047 apart is his modest approach to self-promotion. Instead of inundating his audience with lengthy biographies detailing his accomplishments, he chooses to let his music speak for itself. His ethos revolves around letting the melodies, beats, and rhythms convey his narrative, creating a deep connection with his listeners.
His musical style is a fusion of Progressive elements and technical breakbeat matching, resulting in a dynamic and engaging sound that captivates audiences worldwide. His mixes have garnered acclaim and recognition, being featured on top podcasts and radio stations, further solidifying his reputation as a trailblazer in the electronic music realm.
Excitement brews as we anticipate his upcoming mix, promising a nostalgic journey through the classics of his Techno collection from the revered El Brujos' label Jambalay. With each new release, 6047 continues to push boundaries, innovate, and inspire, leaving an indelible mark on the electronic music scene.
El Brujo opens the first hour with his remix of Paolo Del Prete’s “Game Beat” before Ben Rebel and Carles DJ with Phoenix 2kx keep the set rooted in Techno. Deysa’s “Techno Is The Answer” and Diego Oroquleta’s “Gas Lacrimogena” then push the programme further into darker and more forceful territory.
DJ D ReDD precedes Orlando Voorn featuring My Shorty One before El Brujo takes over the closing section with three consecutive solo productions. “Bitter Chocolate,” “The Dealer” and “Escape Plan” lead into “Full Cycle,” giving the end of the first hour a strong run of El Brujo’s own material.
6047 begins the second hour with Two Minds, Dr. House featuring Hiba Merei and Emison, all drawn from Jambalay Records. Makaja Gonzales and The Rhythm-Fixxer follow as the hour moves through harder techno and Deep Techno without losing the direct club pressure established at the start.
Kev Willis leads into Gianni Piras’ “The Depth Of The Deep,” one of the strongest Peak Time Techno moments in the second hour. Mesopotam and Henry MWNN Lobbs then carry the set towards its conclusion before Judge Jay closes with “Feel That Beat.”
Across the two hours, El Brujo gives the first half a darker and more personal identity through his own productions and remixes, while 6047 builds the second entirely from Jambalay Records material. Techno remains the main thread throughout, with peak-time, deeper and harder shades giving the programme enough variation without pulling it away from its underground focus.
