El Brujo and the Wild Bunch episode 10 airing this Thursday

El Brujo and the Wild Bunch episode 10 was originally broadcast on Thursday, the 12th of November 2020. Scientific Sound Asia is an underground electronic music radio station, DJ agency and promoter publishing music news and connecting audiences across Japan, India, China, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, the Philippines and internationally.

Robert Milanesi, known as El Brujo, was born in Italy in the 1960s and developed a deep passion for music from a young age. By the early 1990s, he had become a recognised figure within the underground rave culture of Bologna, helping shape the city's emerging electronic music scene.

His production career began in 2008 with the release of Warriors on the Milan-based label Open Legs. In 2010 he founded Jambalay Records, launching the label at the opening party of Club Geminis in Ibiza harbour.

The label gained wider attention when Maya Jane Coles featured their track Mozambique, a collaboration with Big Mojo, in her February 2011 chart, with the track also appearing on their first physical CD release Nutty Fellas Are Go. His output spans labels including Elektrax, Frame Workxx, LW Recordings, Subwoofer, Berlin After Dark, Music Is The Drug, Gobekli Tepe, Fortwin Rec, Bunker, Mad Rhythm, SE7ENS and Physical Techno among others.

His track Plastic Dreams on Frame Workxx reached number 33 in the Beatport Hard Techno top 100 in January 2019. Each month El Brujo features a guest from his circle of techno producers and artists known as the Wild Bunch, sharing promos and tracks from trusted collaborators alongside his own selections.

Guest DJ D ReDD (second hour).

DJ D ReDD, real name Ian Bennet, was born in 1989 on the Eastside of St. Louis, Missouri, where his father was a DJ in the 1970s. That upbringing gave him an early and deep connection to music, and he began DJing at a young age before developing into a producer and addictive music lover whose work spans soulful house, techno, hard techno and deep techno.

His Beatport catalogue spans labels including Jambalay, Trench, Frame Workxx, Planet Underground, Naked Lunch, Mind Burn, Red Channel, Technological, Oyhopper and UKR. Recent output has been particularly focused on the harder and rawer end of techno, with releases on Terminus Audio, Urban Kickz Recordings and Planet Underground covering raw, deep and hypnotic techno territory.

His remix of El Brujo's Dude Asked Me For An EP on Frame Workxx Records reinforces the connection between the two artists, and 3rd Dimension on LW Recordings and In Comin on Toxic Recordings represent his more recent additions to a varied catalogue. He has held residencies at Club LA, The Monastery and Even Future, and his SoundCloud documents a body of work that reflects his belief that techno is as much a feeling as it is a sound.

El Brujo And The Wild Bunch Episode 10 opens with El Brujo at the controls for the first hour, the Italian-born Bologna-based producer drawing heavily from his own label network and Frame Workxx Records. U.G.O.'s Detroit 1980 in the El Brujo Remix on Lets Techno sets a raw and driving Hard Techno tone from the outset before DJ D ReDD's Dark Fate on Frame Workxx develops the harder direction.

Young Bad Twins's DA Reprisal on Subwoofer and Chris van Deer's Mandatory Fields Cross in the El Brujo Remix on Frame Workxx carry the set through the label's characteristically uncompromising sound. Makaja Gonzales's Angel Dust and El Brujo's own Raw 2 The Bones on Serapis give the first hour a personal anchor before Cristian's Program and Damaged Man's Looking Forward sustain the raw and hypnotic Techno direction.

Makaja Gonzales returns with Dirty Cash in the El Brujo Remix on Naked Lunch before Ben Rebel and Man From Object:R525L's Warp 9 Message in the Space Scream Mix on Diac Immortal provides one of the more spacious and atmospheric moments in the first hour. Migel Gloria's Suffer on Lets Techno and Pitch!'s Last Man Standing in the El Brujo Remix on Frame Workxx bring El Brujo's selection to a close, the label's presence throughout the hour giving it a tight and coherent identity.

DJ D ReDD takes over the second hour with his own material leading the way, Emotional Rescue, 2025 and WandaVision arriving as three consecutive promos that establish his harder and more industrial Techno direction. Lester Fitzpatrick's Malware in the Jerome Baker Edit on Urban Kickz and Juan Ddd's The Joker on Beatfreak Limited sustain the Peak Time Techno energy before DJ Dextro's Mecanizado and Dax J's Zulu Nation push the set further into driving Hard Techno territory.

DJ D ReDD continues with two further promos, Echoes and Take Em Out, before Atze Ton's To The Groove on Cherry Moon provides a brief change of pace. Dario Sorano's Fuse Board and DJ Dextro's Ira on Naked Lunch carry the set towards its close before SUBSTANE's Simulacra and Simulation on Bandcamp rounds off the episode with a raw and conceptually named final selection.

El Brujo And The Wild Bunch Episode 10 is an uncompromising two hours of Hard Techno and Raw Hypnotic Techno, El Brujo's label-focused first hour giving way to DJ D ReDD's more promo-driven and equally aggressive guest selection.
