Italo Brutalo

About

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. Furthermore his debutalbum Heartware has been voted as favourite album of the year 2022 by 23000 readers of FAZE magazine. 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.
