Italo Brutalo [27.10.2023]

What a ride... and what a vibe! Such a fun crowd to play to that night.
Kudos to Shapeless Culture for inviting me to their first event at M01 last December. I'm happy to finally share this set!

Josef Gaard - DJ Set @ OHM, Berlin 15.10.2022

Peak time at OXI. High bpm (for me at least). Sometimes flowy and progressive, sometimes trashy and punchy, with my own productions dotted through and getting increasingly emotional in the second half.

Some of that emotion is easy to explain. This night was a fundraiser for the family of Lea Rose (aka Radical Softness) after their untimely departure, and at the halfway point you'll hear a track featuring their voice called "I am Emotional".

Live at OXInacht (1st March 2024)

Lennart - BeamCube - Bangkok - 24 Feb 2024

Mechanical Arms Podcast’s guest #7. Italo Brutalo. Vintage synth fetishist and genuine circuit-bending whiz, Italo Brutalo is no typical dealer of hardware- squeezed juice. Tapping in the endless potentialities of his analogue army of retro machinery, the German producer has built a sound ID that defies conventions and takes pride in trespassing all the frontiers and limitations associated to the etiolated map of dance music styles.
From EBM-laced rhythms to jagged techno motifs, via off-pistes divagations into electro, italo and cosmic spaces, Italo Brutalo writes a story of genre-busting, all-embracing love for the primordial groove. Having first dabbled into production through the studio equipment of his father, young Italo quickly caught the virus of music-making and its idiosyncratic logic, using all the means within his reach to turn his ideas into actual pieces of sound. With over 25 years of fiddling, tweaking, bastardising bars of automated fire so people can have a blast on the dance floor, Italo Brutalo has gained a potent reputation amongst jockeys and producers, recently making it to the cover of Das Synthesizer Magazine, a big feature in the world ́s leading music production magazine (Future Music, UK) plus many more. Furthermore his debutalbum Heartware has been voted as favourite album of the year 2022 by 23000 readers of FAZE magazine.
Following up to a string of releases on a wide array of imprints including Mozzarella Records, Days of Being Wild, Compuphonic, RFR or Nang Records, he moved onto self-releasing his output through Bungalo Disco, the label he co-operates alongside his girlfriend. After the first three vinyl releases went sold-out within a couple of weeks, Italo Brutalo released his anticipated debut long-player, "Heartware", which - as its title suggests, makes for a compelling ode to the machines that got him into the eerie world of sine waves and tape loops. Beautifully wrapped in a gatefold, and adorned with the exquisite artwork of his creative partner to go full-circle.
Besides his production capabilities Italo Brutalo is a very skilled performing dj and turntablist. He ́s won several national and international dj championships. Within his sets he ́s mixing up to five different sources using one or even two mixers, what is quite unique..
As live act, he has lot ́s of vintage hardware on stage but no computer. Just analog machines with all their ruffness and dirtyness to create a great atmosphere in any venue.

Precept 031 | Josef Gaard

Fourth in line to our Re:Search Series brings us to @josefgaard. 

Originally based in the Seattle area and now living in Berlin, Josef has been sharing his salient sound through productions and performances for years. His penchant for both ambient music and dance-floor oriented styles has landed him at some of the best venues across Europe. His recent record, "2929" on Mountain Explosion Device saw him working with artists such as @Kalawila and @Dorisburg and gained international acclaim.

As usual, we asked Josef to share a few words to describe his approach to our invitation:

"My approach to this mix was very simple. I generally tend to want to build into a more peak time mood at some point while mixing, so my goal here was to practice restraint and working with a longer arc instead. I enjoy mixes that achieve this so I thought it was my turn to try something suited for both active and passive listening."

Little side note: Josef decided to release this mix with the artwork curated by his friend Oscar Rohleder instead of using the usual press picture.
Enjoy this deep trip

In the strange times when there's nothing and no one to turn to, you can always turn to the sea. No matter how far you are, or how bleak the future seems – it always moves, slowly yet surely washing the lands, cleansing of sorrow. Close your eyes and here it is, calming the restless mind, whispering a lullaby, a lullaby you can dance to or lie down to. Piercing through isolation the sound of the sea is omnipresent.
