Close & Slow Hugo Sanchez b2b Brillante

Hugo Sanchez, known as "El Tremendizmo," uses turntables and mixers to create impossible soundscapes, influenced by African music, funk, and electronic music. Born in Rome in 1974, he began experimenting with sound at age 12 and trained as a DJ in independent culture. In the 2000s, he collaborated on the sound design of queer liberation parties such as Coq Madame, Phag Off, and Subwoofer. He founded a multimedia production studio and held residencies at clubs in Italy and abroad. Today, he collaborates with Rodion on the Alien Alien project, with the ROCCODISCO label, and, together with Belgian DJ Athome, on the Front De Cadeaux project. In Rome, he works from the Pescheria studio and is among the promoters of Tropicantesimo at Fanfulla.

Brillante is an Italian DJ whose practice explores a broad spectrum of electronic music. With an intuitive approach to genres and BPM, he fuses sounds and rhythms, creating fluid and hypnotic sets, always deeply connected to the dance floor. His research conceives music as a collective ritual: each performance becomes a sensorial and visceral experience, capable of creating connections between bodies. Through careful selection and continuous mixing, Brillante constructs sonic journeys that transcend boundaries and transform sound into shared movement.
