Guest DJ MPSoup.
This week's guest DJ was MPSoup, the artist name of Humberto Garzaro from Tampa Bay, Florida. He had been DJing professionally since May 2009, approaching a decade in the industry by the time of this broadcast, and had moved from Electro House and Progressive Trance into multi-genre sets.
Active in Miami's event scene since 2010, MPSoup both participated in and hosted a variety of events. The name MPSoup, meaning Music, Pictures, and Soup, refers to his work as a DJ, photographer and chef.
At the time, MPSoup focused on corporate and private events alongside family life with his wife and two children, which motivated his varied and demanding career. In his own words, "Blessed to be MPSoup," he expresses humility and gratitude for the opportunity to create this mix for Scientific Sound Asia, especially for his brother DJ Gerard from DEVICERATT (DVRT); this week's mix features new music from LTHM & Typ3 Records.
Gerard's The Hit List episode 11 with MPSoup opens with Fyrone's Blige on Lemon-aid Music and Claude VonStroke's Billy Kenny remix of Barrump for DIRTYBIRD, establishing a Tech House focus.

Urbandawn's Like What, Unglued's Ay!, Camo & Krooked's Honesty and Nu:Logic's Sepia feat. LSB keep that direction moving through Hospital Records releases. Anushka's Ivy Lab remix of Never Can Decide, also on Hospital Records, leads into Widdler Refix's Goldeneye Watch, the set's confirmed Goldenstep entry.
