Gerard presents The Hit List episode 61 on Scientific Sound Asia, with guest DJ 6047 and the programme’s playlist. 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, known for his production work, energy and passion for electronic music. His work has centred on electronic club music, and his performances have reached audiences in a range of settings.
Gerard began as part of DeviceRATT with F.L.I. Records, where his interest in electronic music developed into a deep commitment to the field. That period helped establish his path as a performer, built around the beats and sounds that defined his early sets.
He performed across South Florida’s underground scene, including appearances at Treehouse and Nocturnal. Those shows brought positive reviews, sold-out dates and a growing following for the artist.
In 2014, Gerard released his debut with Aerotek Records and began establishing a place in the electronic scene. Further releases with labels including Pure Pitch and LTHM added to his catalogue and profile.
Gerard’s work also took him beyond the United States, where he held a number of residencies at venues across East Asia. Through those dates, he was performing for audiences in the region and building on the achievements of his Florida period.
After building a following across those venues, Gerard became a recognised figure within China’s music scene. When the pandemic struck, he returned to America and was unable to continue that Far East chapter.
Following his return to the States, Gerard continued to wield his craft and perform for audiences. At the time of publication, his audience was growing while his music reached listeners beyond his home territory.
Guest DJ 6047.
6047 (read as 60:47) is a Los Angeles-based DJ and producer whose origins are in Vietnam but whose heart lies in California. His background in the electronic arts is stunning and he has released across a variety of genres on many labels.
He is very light-hearted in his perception of himself and prefers to let his tracks and remixes tell his story. He has under a variety of formats and labels released well over 800 tracks and remixes in his 20-year tenure.
His production abilities have gained him a reputation and earned him a number of guest shows on international stations worldwide and recognition of his work is significant. His attention to finite details and his performance style which revolves around Progressive, breaks and beat matching make him formidable in the booth as a DJ.
He is involved in many collaborations at present with many of the other Scientific Sound Asia artists and can be heard on radio stations and podcasts the world over. This show features a selection of his Deep House favourites.
Gerard’s The Hit List 61 with guest 6047 opens with Titus Flavius featuring George Frideric Handel’s Sarabande on Earthly Delights, setting a Melodic House and Techno tone. Nōpi’s Spoon Light on meanwhile brings Progressive House into focus before Monojoke’s Take Me Home on Amitabha introduces Organic House textures.
Antrim’s Rauschhaus remix of Hoffnung on Clubsonica returns to Progressive House, while Proximo’s Light Lines on Ad Astra returns the set to Melodic House and Techno. Rick Pier O’Neil’s Redemption on RPO follows with a progressive edge, then Nursultan Kun’s Alkadi on The Purr and Maxi Basshead’s Games in Doppel’s Spice Rub remix keep the opening section moving.
Morttagua’s Nick Warren and Nicolas Rada remix of Pallas on Timeless Moment brings Organic House back into the sequence, before Rancido’s Dogus Cihan remix of Clocks on OMENI returns to Melodic House and Techno. Closing 6047s' first hour.
Host DJ Gerard opens with Homero Espinosa and Fuzzy Cufflinxxx’s The Funkman on Heattraxx. He then turns towards Deep House, with Mr. Bootsauce’s Jarred Gallo remix of That’s That Boom on Salted Music extending that direction.
Oliver Schories’ Rampart on Pracht adds another Melodic House and Techno passage, followed by Audiojack and Polarbear’s Nick Curly remix of Introspection on Gruuv. KingCrowney, S.O.S and Lydia Rose’s Want Some Jazz in the N-You-Up At Midnight Extended Mix on In It Together Records leads into Roland Clark and John ‘Julius’ Knight’s Marco Lys remix of This Is House on Soulfuric Trax, a clear House Music moment.
Peace and Brett Rubin’s Travis Emmons Vocal Remix of Like Being Stoned on Stripped Digital returns to Deep House, while Sous Sol’s Mihai Popoviciu Extended Remix of Dizzy Rhythm on Global Underground brings back Melodic House and Techno. Faucon’s Mihai Popoviciu remix of Where Will You Go on Voltaire Music follows with a Deep House finish to this stretch of the programme.
Maverick Sabre and Jorja Smith’s Vintage Culture and Slow Motion Extended Remix of Slow Down on Spinnin’ Deep sustains the Deep House feel near the close. John Summit’s Black V Neck Extended Remix of Deep End on Defected brings House Music forward once more, before Gorge’s Erotic Soul 2020 Rework on Milk & Sugar closes the show in Deep House territory.
