Gerard, also known as DJ Gerard Jones, presents episode 037 of The Hit List on Scientific Sound Asia, featuring Ne.hau. Scientific Sound Asia operates as an Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency, promoter and music news platform connecting audiences across Asia and internationally.
Gerard takes control of the second hour with a selection rooted in Deep House, Deep Tech House, Tech House and Techno. His work in electronic music combines DJing and production, with House music forming an important part of his creative direction.
Originally from Angeles City in the United States, Gerard has developed his career through performances, production and radio activity in different regions. His DJ and production profile reflects an interest in expanding House music through his own selections and studio work.
Gerard later returned to Florida after spending a period in Southeast Asia, where he became involved with Scientific Sound Asia. That experience connected him with electronic music communities across the region while adding an international dimension to his work.
He has also worked with Brasbeat, a digital platform dedicated to electronic music in Latin America, where he served as Nu-Disco manager. His role there included hosting a regular podcast and mix show built around charted music and monthly selections.
The Hit List provides Gerard with another outlet for the House and Techno styles that define much of his work. Episode 037 combines his second-hour selection with a guest contribution from Ne.hau, bringing two different perspectives into the programme.
Guest DJs Nehau (first hour)
This week’s first-hour guests are Ne.hau, the DJ and production duo of Danny Marin and Ren Albieri. Their work sits across Minimal, Deep Tech, Tech House, Peak Time Techno and House, combining detailed production with a strong club focus.
The duo developed a reputation through releases such as Little Humans and the Christian Thomas collaboration I Believe. Their Kill Switch EP also reached Beatport’s Minimal Top 10, helping introduce the project to a wider electronic music audience.
Ne.hau’s productions place particular emphasis on clarity, texture and depth while incorporating organic and instrumental elements. Those ideas have also carried into their live performances, where the duo have integrated production techniques with a more performance-led approach.
Danny Marin comes from Ventura, California and later moved to Fort Collins, Colorado. He began learning to DJ and exploring turntablism at the age of thirteen before discovering electronic music while searching through records at a local shop where he later worked.
Artists including Leftfield, DJ Icey and The Crystal Method became important early influences on Marin’s musical development. He later became active at Boulder venues including The Root and Soma before appearing at Denver clubs such as Suite 200, The Purple Martini and Taboo.
Ren Albieri was born in São Paulo, Brazil and grew up with his mother in Dallas, Texas while regularly returning to Brazil to visit his father. His exposure to club culture began early, and he was already spending time behind the decks by the age of thirteen.
Albieri’s father owned a club and later worked as head of security at Pacha Ibiza, giving Ren further exposure to international nightlife and electronic music culture. These experiences strengthened his interest in becoming a DJ and producer and gave him a broader perspective on club music beyond the United States.
Marin and Albieri eventually met after both independently enrolled in audio engineering courses at the Phoenix Conservatory of Music in 2010. Their shared interest in production quickly developed into a working partnership, and they spent the following years refining their approach in the studio.
The Ne.hau project officially launched in 2016 after the pair had established a production process they were confident could support a dedicated collaboration. Their early output included the debut single Plurality and a remix of P-rez’s Watcha Do released through Denied Music.
Another important release was Little Humans on Circles Digital Records, featuring vocalist Nubu. Nubu later became part of the duo’s live performances as Ne.hau appeared across Denver and Austin.
The Christian Thomas collaboration I Believe became one of the duo’s most recognised early releases and appeared through Draft Ltd. Its darker production direction helped reinforce Ne.hau’s interest in Minimal and stripped-back club music while attracting further attention to their work.
Their later catalogue shows that Ne.hau continued releasing beyond those formative years and expanded into several related House styles. Releases such as My Soul with Lani, The Verdade with Prince.L and their remix of Greg Campbell’s Mama Why appeared across Minimal and Deep Tech, Deep House, Organic House and Tech House.
My Soul appeared through Krad Records and was accompanied by remixes from Hipp-E and DandFlow. The release demonstrated the duo’s ability to place one production into different stylistic contexts without losing the central identity of the original.
Their collaboration with Prince.L, The Verdade, was released through One City Music Group and moved firmly into Tech House. A later remix of Mama Why for Greg Campbell on Full Flavor Music further expanded the duo’s recorded work within Deep House.
Ne.hau’s production process has long relied on close attention to frequency balance, stereo placement and layering. This technical background gives Marin and Albieri room to combine subtle rhythmic details with heavier low-end elements across both their productions and DJ sets.
The first-hour guest mix provides a broader introduction to the pair’s work across Minimal, Deep Tech and House. It also includes material connected with their own releases, giving listeners a clearer view of how Ne.hau’s studio work translates into their DJ selections.
Nehau opens the first hour with “Confirmation Bias” before Brandub and Mihai Popoviciu establish the stripped-back character of the set. De La Swing, NMTP and Kevin Toro keep the focus on Deep Tech House, working through tight percussion and reduced bass-driven arrangements.
“Attack Vector,” featuring Dolly Deura, brings Nehau back into the selection before Ben Rau and Rossko deepen the minimal approach. Nehau returns with “Gas,” followed by Poor Pay Rich and Luixar KL as the hour stays closely connected to Minimal House and underground club grooves.
“Beautiful World” provides another Nehau production before Abdon, an unidentified “Acid Roll” and Vadi AU take the set through its closing stages. PRT Stacho finishes an hour that remains tightly focused on minimal and deep-tech sounds, with the acid cut providing the main stylistic detour.
Gerard begins the second hour with Denis Babin and Nodar M before &ME’s “Garden” introduces a warmer Melodic House and Techno direction. Onur Ozman and Mr. Sunshine follow before Marco Berto and Liva K shift the emphasis back towards house and deeper club material.
Ryan Murgatroyd’s “Find Me Another” in his Deep Mix brings Deep House into the final part of the programme before Supernova and Dario D’Attis turn up the rhythm with “The Future.” Toman closes with “Cold Memories,” bringing Gerard’s hour back to deep house after the stronger Tech House pulse of the preceding track.
Across Episode 37, Nehau’s first hour is the more stripped-back half, concentrating on minimal and deep-tech grooves, while Gerard’s section opens into deeper house and melodic material. The contrast gives the programme two clear identities without losing the understated house foundation running across both sets.
