DJ Gerard Jones presents episode 70 of The Hit List on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is an electronic music radio station, promoter, DJ agency and music-news platform connecting audiences across Asia and internationally.
Gerard is from Florida, USA, and is a DJ with production skills and a longstanding passion for electronic music. He is recognised for his work in house music and for presenting his productions in DJ sets.
Gerard's interest in electronic music developed during his time in DeviceRATT with F.L.I. Records. His work found an audience both in the United States and abroad.
After securing multiple residencies across East Asia, he entranced audiences with his rhythms through his DJ sets. He achieved a level of success comparable with that in his home country and became an established figure in the region's electronic music scene.
Gerard built a following in China before his time in the Far East was cut short. The pandemic required his return to America despite the success he had found in the region.
After returning to the United States, Gerard has dedicated to his art and plays house music and techno at venues in the USA, including Florida. His audience has grown alongside his reputation as a DJ and producer.
His profile in electronic music has grown through The Hit List, his house music and techno radio show. The programme presents examples of both genres and their subgenres.
The 70th episode of The Hit List opens with deadmau5's Strobe on Virgin, introducing Melodic House and Techno before Bob Sinclar's World Hold On on Vidisco and Mike Vale's Music Is the Answer on Glasgow Underground establish the House Music direction. Dennis Ferrer's Mousse T.'s House Remix of Hey Hey on Paradise Records (12) follows, while Axwell, Ingrosso, Angello, Laidback Luke and Deborah Cox bring Leave the World Behind from Axtone Records into the sequence.
Jerome Price's Smack Ma on BABYLON moves into Tech House, and Green Velvet and Jay Lumen's Cajmere Remix of It's All About Me on Relief adds Peak Time Techno. David Kinnard and Ramon Bedoya's Finest then leads to Mark Knight and Funkagenda's Man With The Red Face on Toolroom.
Dom Dolla's extended mix of Take It on Sweat It Out keeps the club-focused approach in place before Chris Minus and Mr. V's The End. Audiojack and Polarbear's Nick Curly Remix of Introspection on Gruuv introduces Deep House textures.
FISHER's Losing It, released through Fisher - Follow the FISH, LLC, brings a dance music accent to the middle of the set. Matt Sassari's Put A Record On on DMC then turns towards Techno, followed by Oliver Schories' Maia on Pink Revolver.
Olivier Giacomotto's Bipolar Star on Noir Music returns to tech house before CamelPhat and Jem Cooke's Rabbit Hole on RCA Records Label. Purple Disco Machine's Claptone Extended Mix of Body Funk on Club Sweat brings the house-focused section back into view.
Oliver $ and Jimi Jules follow with Pushing On on Defected, while Dirty South and Rudy's Axwell Remix of Let It Go appears via Net's Work International. Homero Espinosa and Fuzzy Cufflinxxx close the documented run with The Funkman on Heattraxx before Elderbrook and CamelPhat's Cola provides the final selection.
