Scientific Sound Asia is an English-language electronic music radio station for China, India, Malaysia, Vietnam, Korea and the rest of Asia, as well as a DJ agency, promoter and music-news platform connecting audiences internationally.
Gerard, who provided the second hour, is a Deep House, Deep Tech, Tech House and Techno producer and DJ from Angeles City in the United States, with an enduring passion for electronic music and an established method of creating it. His aim is to contribute to House music through his style of play and production.
At the time of publication, Gerard had returned to Florida in the United States after a period in South East Asia and was working with Scientific Sound Asia's DJ agency. He had also been Nu-Disco manager for Brasbeat, Latin America's first and only digital source for electronic music, and hosted a regular podcast and mix show featuring his charted music for each month.
Guest DJ (first hour) Franccesco Cardenas.
This weeks guest DJ (first hour) is Franccesco Cardenas a Miami born DJ and producer and Typ3 Records co-founder currently living out west in Oakland, California. From his onset in 1982, Franccesco Cardenas grew up in Miami, Florida and resides in San Francisco, California and was constantly submersed in the best of Electronic music.
With Nicaraguan roots and musical influences spreading from John Lennon to John Digweed, Franccesco began mixing things up in the year 2000 and has been on an endless incline ever since. However, for Franccesco it's not simply about the performance but more intrinsically about how the music plays a part in life and experience.
His desire to more deeply understand the qualities of sound led him through his engineering foothold at SAE in 2004. Even beyond the studio, he's constantly exposing himself to new sounds, multiple genres, events, venues, sights, tastes, anything and everything that plays a part to influence the musical soul.
Franccesco Cardenas is scheduled to release his new E. P "NO WARS" featuring a remix of 'B52s Up In The Air' Again by none other than Miami's legendary Stryke on the 24th of this month, so keep an ear out for it! Feel free to visit his website for more music and merchandise, his first hours features some of his new tracks.

Moonbeam and Mondstrahi's Lost on Moonbeam Digital and Pheek's Arrets Et Mouvements on EpsilonLab then establish the restrained detail of Deep Tech House, followed by David Durango's Pole Dance in Silicone Soul's Hypnohouse Dub on Perspectiv Records.
Johnny Aemkel's Peter Fateyev remix of Dark Side The Mind, released by Divided Recordings, introduces a minimal approach. Cesare vs Disorder and Dave Vega's Mindless on Bpitch Control brings Tech House into the sequence, while Fabrizio Pettorelli's Trust On on Dogma Records returns to Deep Tech House.
