Gerard Jones' The Hit List episode 69 presents the Florida DJ's selection for 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.
Gerard is a Florida, USA-based DJ and producer whose enthusiasm for electronic music has shaped his work. He is known for House Music and Techno sets, and has performed for audiences in the United States and internationally.
His interest in electronic music developed while he was a member of DeviceRATT with F.L.I. Records. That period led to appearances both in the United States and abroad.
Through residencies at venues across East Asia, he performed for crowds with his beats and live DJ sets. He then established a presence in the region comparable to the success he had achieved at home.
Gerard built a following at a number of venues and became a recognised name within China's music scene. His time in the Far East ended when the pandemic forced his return to America, despite the audience he had developed there.
Since returning to the United States, Gerard has stayed committed to his art, playing his mix of House Music and Techno in Florida and elsewhere in the country. His audience has grown alongside his profile in the electronic music field.
The Hit List is Gerard's House Music and Techno radio show, presenting examples of both genres and their related styles. Episode 69 was originally broadcast on Tuesday, 13 July 2021.
Gerard's The Hit List episode 69 on Scientific Sound Asia opens with HOLA!'s Keep This Fire Burning in its CYA Remix, a dance-pop cut released through Universal-Island Records Ltd. Yeah But No's Adam Port Remix of Run Run Run, issued by Sinnbus, follows with Deep House character after Pirupa's Cristallo.
Mike Mago's Recognise, Crooked Colours' SNBRN Remix of Love Language, Gorgon City and Drama's Nobody, and The Brothers Macklovitch and A-Trak's Morgan Geist Dub of Give Love to Get Some broaden the early selection. Kasper Koman's Anjunadeep release The Blind Navigator introduces Melodic House and Techno, before Yotto's Tarantia carries the sequence forward.
Cedric Gervais and Aston Lane bring Dreamers into the middle of the programme, followed by Hot Since 82's Make Up and Solomun's Home. Dermot Kennedy's Power Over Me receives the MEDUZA Remix treatment on Riggins Recording, Interscope Records and Island Records, adding confirmed House Music to the show.
Meeting Molly's Last Chance and Monolink's Sinner retain the measured club focus, before P.A.C.O. and Return Of The Jaded's NIGHTS WATCH raises the intensity. GHOSTBEAT's The Wanderer and Laibert's Counting Dreams prepare the later run, which turns towards Niceshot's MNL release Multicolor Room.
Niceshot's Multicolor Room brings Progressive House into focus, while Township Rebellion's Magna Terram on Stil Vor Talent returns to Melodic House and Techno. Neal Porter and Fabs# follow with the Moonbootica Remix of Clockwise on Moonbootique, before CASSIMM's Chus & Ceballos Remix of Dances With Wolves on Stereo Productions Catalog.
John Creamer and Stephane K's I Wish You Were Here Feat. Nkemdi sustains the Progressive House direction in the closing stretch. Matik (AR)'s LifeArt release Dark Matter gives way to Weird Sounding Dude's Purple Sky on LAIKA Sounds, ending the set with the same progressive emphasis.
