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. 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. Besides his production capabilities Italo Brutalo is a very skilled performing dj and turntablist. 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.
