El Brujo presents El Brujo and The Wild Bunch episode 14 on Scientific Sound Asia, with guest DJ A503X. Scientific Sound Asia is an electronic music radio station, promoter, DJ agency and music-news platform connecting audiences across Asia and internationally.
El Brujo, whose real name is Robert Milanesi, was born in Italy in 1964 and became absorbed in music from an early age. In 1994, he became known as one of the founding figures of Bologna's underground rave scene, while his first official release, Warriors, arrived on Milan label Open Legs in 2008.
Jambalay Records launched at its opening party at Club Geminis in Ibiza Harbour, Spain, in 2010. The label and El Brujo then burst onto the worldwide scene, with Maya Jane Coles charting his work in her February Chart 2011.
His collaboration with Big Mojo, ‘Mozambique’, was his first physical CD release, Nutty Fellas Are Go. In January 2019, his release, Plastic Dreams, originally issued on Frame Worxx, reached number 33 in the Beatport Hard Techno Top 100.
El Brujo has released through Elektrax, Frame Workxx, LW Recordings, Subwoofer, Berlin After Dark, Music Is The Drug, Gobekli Tepe, Fortwin Rec, Bunker, Mad Rhythm and SE7ENS, among others. His work is characterised by a raw approach and interstellar ideas that extend across the genres he explores.
The Wild Bunch format was intended to introduce a guest DJ from El Brujo's circle of Techno producers and artists each month. For this edition, he selected tracks by himself and his associates, with A503X providing the later section of the programme.
Guest DJ A503X (second hour)
This shows guest DJ (second hour) is A503X, A503X's real name is Alexandre Sales Miquel and he was born in Lleida, Spain in the early eighties. He is a DJ, producer, audio technician and musician, playing a wide variety of instruments.
Having studied at Microfusa in Barcelona from 2003 to 2004 he began producing and extending his outreach as a DJ even whilst he was still studying. Having played at all the underground clubs and festivals in his home country he has performed at a plethora of renowned nightspots and radio stations internationally.
His productions and releases have featured in Beatport charts and he has released on many different labels including his own A503X Records. His outlook for the future remains positive despite the last year.
He recently launched his A503X record label and he hopes to be back to his old ways in the not-too-distant future. In the last year, he has produced and released a good few tracks across the board from Melodic to peak time Techno and these have been received well in the community and many are featured in his show.
El Brujo and the Wild Bunch episode 14 opens with Coyu's Technonostalgia on 2.0-Suara before Pablo Caballero's Blaster on Pure Dope Digital and Radio Slave's Marco Faraone remix of Don't Stop No Sleep on Rekids establish Peak Time Techno. The opening balances Coyu's unclassified selection with two confirmed club-focused cuts whose labels set the programme's initial direction.
Mari Mattham's Human Race on Unknown Territory brings Techno (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic) into the sequence, followed by Juliana Yamasaki's Burning Fire on Odd Recordings. Rebekah's Datamosh and D. Carbone's Timeless, both on Theabove, return the set to Peak Time Techno with a more forceful run of percussion.
Strom's Chains Of The Past on Postdynamic revisits the raw, deep and hypnotic side before Roll Dann's Oppression on Opera 2000 introduces Electronica. Luca Agnelli's DJ Rush remix of 7 O'Clock on Etruria Beat moves into Tech House, while Bastinov's Electric Rescue remix of Solar System, also on Etruria Beat, returns to Peak Time Techno.
A503X begins his contribution with Soul Of Freedom on A503X Records, a Tech House selection that gives way to Mutant on the same label and its Deep House character. His Acropolis promo then introduces Deep Tech House, shifting the guest section towards a more stripped-back rhythmic focus.
A503X follows with Hell Boy on A503X Records, then Conspiration on Visionmind Records, placing Tech House beside Deep Tech House. His 2021 Reasons on Discokat Records, Feel The Difference on A503X Records and Via Crucis on Visionmind Records PROMO extend that interplay through successive label contexts.
The closing stretch turns towards Melodic House and Techno through A503X's Swallow's and Delicious, both released on A503X Records. A503X ends with Intuitive on A503X Records, bringing the programme back to Peak Time Techno for a firm final record.
