Gerard presents The Hit List 67 on Scientific Sound Asia with guest DJ MPSoup. Scientific Sound Asia is an Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency, promoter and music-news platform connecting audiences across Asia and internationally.
Gerard is a DJ from Florida, USA, with a background in production and a strong commitment to electronic music. His work has placed him within the house scene, where he has played his own productions for audiences in several territories.
Gerard began his career with DeviceRATT under F.L.I. Records, an experience that deepened his interest in electronic music. He developed his DJing through the beats and sounds that became central to his sets.
His early appearances took in South Florida's underground circuit, including Treehouse and Nocturnal. The period brought favourable reviews, sold-out performances and a growing audience.
Gerard launched his career in 2014 with a debut on Aerotek Records. Releases through labels including Pure Pitch and LTHM later established a wider presence in electronic music.
His work also led to residencies at venues across East Asia. While there, he laid down beats for audiences and built on the experience he had gained in the United States.
Gerard became a familiar name at venues in China and built a substantial following in the local music scene. The pandemic brought his Far East period to an end, and he returned to America after his regional success.
After returning to the States, Gerard continued to master his craft and perform for audiences. The article recorded an expanding fan base, international reach and a prominent position among dedicated figures in electronic music.
Guest DJ MPSoup.
This week's featured guest DJ, MPSoup, also known as Humberto Garzaro, hails from Tampa Bay, Florida. With a career that began in May 2009, he is passing a decade of professional DJing. Initially starting with Electro House and Progressive Trance, he has evolved into a versatile multi-genre DJ.
He has been involved in and hosted numerous events in Miami from 2010 to the present, spanning a diverse range of occasions. MPSoup, which signifies Music, Pictures, and Soup, encapsulates his multifaceted identity as a DJ, Photographer, and Chef.
MPSoup is currently devoted to corporate and private events, while also embracing his role as a family man with his wife and two children. This dual commitment has fueled his drive for a career that is both diverse and demanding.
Describing himself as "Blessed to be MPSoup," he expresses humility and gratitude for the opportunity to create a mix for Scientific Sound Asia, particularly for his brother DJ Gerard Jones of Deviceratt (DVRT). The upcoming show will feature House and Tech House genres.
Gerard and MPsoup open their back-to-back edition of The Hit List with HNNY before Viada Asanin and Yas Cepeda move the set towards Tech House. Lady Blackbird’s “Collage” then introduces a very different rhythmic element through Calibre’s remix, adding drum and bass to an otherwise house-led programme.
Marco Carola restores the club focus with “Black Box,” followed by Cosmic Gate’s Trance track “Analog Feel.” Gregory Porter’s “Liquid Spirit” in the Claptone remix then shifts into Deep House, setting up a substantial run of deeper house material.
Shiba San’s German Brigante remix precedes Mark Knight’s “Your Love,” a track that has appeared under both house and tech house classifications across Beatport releases. Hot Natured and Ali Love follow with “Benediction,” adding Indie Dance before Me & My Toothbrush and DeviceRATT with DirtyClean broaden the middle section.
DirrtyDishes and Laika lead into Thaistroem’s Tube & Berger remix of “What Matters,” followed by Claptone’s “No Eyes,” one of the best-known deep house selections in the set. Ben Remember’s “Flashwind” then returns the programme to firmer tech house rhythms before Tom Novy and Sandeman take the mix back into deeper territory.
Tini’s “That’s Right” supplies another tech house entry before Zod introduces Electronica with “Rise Before Zod.” Steve Angello closes the episode with “Tivoli,” classified as Progressive House, completing a back-to-back set spanning several branches of house alongside trance, drum and bass and electronica.
