El Brujo presents El Brujo and the Wild Bunch episode 16 with guest DJ Rah 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.
El Brujo, whose real name is Robert Milanesi and who handled the first hour, was born in Italy and developed a passion for music at an early age. During the early 1990s, he became known as one of the founding figures of Bologna's underground rave scene.
After many years as a DJ, he began producing, with his first official release, Warriors, issued on the Milan label Open Legs. A few years later, his label Jambalay Records was launched at its opening party at Club Geminis in Ibiza, Spain.
El Brujo and Jambalay Records burst onto the worldwide scene through the February 2011 chart of Maya Jane Coles. His track ‘Mozambique’, made with Big Mojo, was his first physical CD release and appeared on Nutty Fellas Are Go.
At the beginning of 2019, his release, Plastic Dreams, came out 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 other labels.
He describes his sound as unknown, with the cosmos forming part of his interstellar and raw approach to music innovation across genres. At the time of publication, the monthly Wild Bunch format was to introduce guest DJs from his group of Techno producers and artists, while this episode drew on tracks by his cohorts.
Guest DJ Rah (second hour)
This week's guest DJ (second hour) is DJ Rah, Rah is a relatively new DJ and producer in the Techno scene. She was born in the late eighties in the USA and currently resides in Vermont.
She has had a vibrant and eclectic streak of creativity in her that has expressed itself in many forms. When she discovered techno, she fell for the community and quickly found herself and her creativity at home.
She gets through life without an agenda and follows her music wherever it takes her. She hopes to gain notoriety in the Techno scene nationally and internationally in the coming year.
El Brujo opens the first hour with Eklpx and Endlec before Linn Elisabet’s “Collarbone” places the set firmly inside Techno. Planet Rhythm released “Collarbone” as part of a four-track techno EP, matching the direct club focus of the opening sequence.
Heerhorst with Teenage Mutants and Maxi Alvarado lead into Pfirter’s “Visions Of Eternity,” while Unmaster Tumzz adds the first of two promotional tracks from SMR Underground. Bas Mooy and Jeroen Liebregts then bring Deep Techno into the hour through “Nassau,” which Beatport classifies as raw, deep and hypnotic techno.
Alexander Kowalski, S-File and Uncertain occupy the later portion of El Brujo’s set before Unmaster Tumzz returns with Adjust (BE) on “Stargazed.” The first hour stays tightly concentrated on techno, with raw, hypnotic and Peak Time Techno elements providing the main variations rather than a shift into separate house styles.
DJ Rah begins the second hour with Energetic-X’s “Crawling,” a release associated with doomcore, industrial techno and hardcore, before Echobeat, Twins Project and Drumatick. D-Unity follows with “Distraction,” fitting an artist catalogue strongly associated with techno and tribal-rooted club production.
Freiheit, Hideyoshi, Kev Willis and Domingo Caballero carry the second hour through harder techno material before Wanton, Puncher and Emison take the programme deeper into its closing section. Tenorten, Andreas Kraemer, Liquid Static and Danz Maxine precede Dadgar’s “Wheel Of Fortune,” ending Episode 16 with a second hour dominated by techno, hard techno and industrial-leaning material.
