El Brujo features on Scientific Sound Asia with El Brujo and the Wild Bunch episode 15. Scientific Sound Asia is an Asian electronic music radio station, promoter and music-news platform connecting audiences across Asia and internationally.
El Brujo, whose real name is Robert Milanesi, was born in Italy and developed an early attachment to music. During the early 1990s, he became known as one of the founding figures in Bologna's underground rave scene.
After many years performing as a DJ, he began producing, with his first official release, Warriors, appearing on the Milan label Open Legs. A few years later, his label Jambalay Records launched at its opening party at Club Geminis in Ibiza, Spain.
The label and El Brujo burst onto the worldwide scene through the legendary Maya Jane Coles February 2011 chart. His track ‘Mozambique’, made with Big Mojo, was his first physical CD release on Nutty Fellas Are Go.
At the beginning of 2019, his release Plastic Dreams appeared on Frame Worxx and reached number 33 in the Beatport Hard Techno Top 100. El Brujo has also released on 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 music takes a raw approach across the genres he works with, and he has described his creative outlook in cosmic, interstellar terms. The Wild Bunch format introduced a monthly guest DJ drawn from a group of Techno producers and artists, while this edition included a selection of tracks by El Brujo's cohorts.
Guest DJ Kev Willis (second hour)
This week's guest DJ (second hour) is Kev Willis, Kev Willis is a Techno DJ and producer from Stoke On Trent, in the north of England. He started to DJ and experience music production when he was a teenager and became embroiled in Techno Music.
From 2004 to 2009 he presented his own shows on Techno FM, Canada. After a while they became more popular, reaching listeners from all around the world and this gave him better opportunities to improve as a DJ and perform more shows on the station.
Eventually, he decided to part from the station and move on and the hosts appreciated his input and wished him the best of luck for future developments. All of these experiences in DJing gave him more confidence and the chance to network with other DJs and producers, receiving great feedback.
He has demonstrated his abilities on a great number of Techno stations and podcasts including Fnoob Techno Radio and Future Music FM. His abilities on the decks led to him performing at a plethora of events such as Load, Ghettoblaster, Waveform Riot, Subterraneo, Metro Casa, Heritage and many more.
Presently he runs his own show 'Innovate' on Cosmos Radio every Tuesday evening, featuring guest DJs for each show and appearing monthly on Techno Pulse Radio for Techno Connection UK.
Furthermore, when he is not on the radio he spends a great deal of time producing new music. His tracks are well-received in the Techno world and he strives to improve his production skills with every release.
El Brujo and the Wild Bunch episode 15 with guest DJ Kev Willis opens with El Brujo's Total Deception and Sandman, both issued through Frame Workxx and Promo respectively. Hard Techno also frames Propaganda Lies on Smr Underground, before Emison's Hard Dance cut Exorcismus on Trench changes the pace.
MaKaJa Gonzales follows with Can't Fight Who You Are on Frame Workxx, then MOT3K's Tripped Out receives an El Brujo remix for Trench. Developer's Avoidance of Murder on Developer Archive introduces Techno (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic) textures, before Mechanic Freakz's What's Your Problem returns to the harder pressure.
DJ D Redd's Oblivion on Promo and The High Table on Frame Workxx keep the intensity high, with Coyu's Contraindication on Suara following closely. Mechanic Freakz's Tawa Girl remix of Bad Movie on Prescribed Trax then brings in Peak Time Techno, closing El Brujos' first hour.
Kev Willis starts the second hour with Pfirter and Oliver Rosemann's Beta 02 on Stockholm LTD, and then Pfirter and Oliver Rosemann return with Beta 03 on Stockholm LTD, answered by Ian Axide's Raw on Sleaze Records (UK). Pushmann's Distant on K S R and Kitkatone's Knife on I-Traxx Recordings bring the set through contrasting deep and peak-time passages.
Pushmann's Drums Back on K S R leads into Klausgreen's Persian Girl on Railroad Recordings, with PWCCA's Hominization on Devotion Records adding another direct turn. Klausgreen's Surprises of Life, again on Railroad Recordings, is followed by Kohra's Qayamat on Regenerate Music.
Rhombic's Alternador on DarkForest and Kribs' Echo Boutique on Coded Platform sustain the late-set focus, before Ron S.'s Neutrazin on Anode Records shifts the texture. L.ap.'s Perception on Gain Records gives way to MaKaJa Gonzales' Angel Dust on Trench, while Rødhåd and Rene Wise close with 190209.1 on WSNWG.
