In an industry often dominated by carefully curated social media personas and gimmicks for the sake of virality, the producer and DJ known as Brunello is a refreshing anomaly. He isn’t chasing fame, and he isn’t trying to fit into the aesthetic of the underground or the high-gloss polish of the mainstream. Instead, he is building a world – a Mellow Circus – rooted in a decade of experimentation and a restless, nearly monastic dedication to his craft.

While Brunello pulls from a global palette of influences now, the foundation of his sound was built upon the energy of American dance music culture. “House music is my love,” he admits, “but I grew up loving all genres of electronic music, and some of the most formative experiences actually came from American bass music. Not because of the actual ‘sound’, necessarily, but the mere fact that this music exists and so many people love it. That’s what gets me excited.”
