About DJ Enferno If DJ Enferno was only known as the guy Madonna picked to cut up samples and assist in remix productions for her shows, helping to make the Sticky & Sweet Tour the highest-grossing tour of the year, he could look comfortably back on an illustrious and successful career. But for Enferno, a veteran club DJ, turntablist, production guru and creator of the much-lauded Live Remix Project (more on that later), the tour is simply the natural progression to a consistently bourgeoning career.
Enferno would enter his first DMC competition in 1999, the most prestigious in the world. While he didn't win the first year, he would spend countless hours working on his routines, scoring higher with each passing year, until finally winning the U.S. Championship in 2003.
Thus spawned the Live Remix Project (LRP) in 2006, a one-man symphony incorporating turntables, instruments, effects and samplers that combines musical virtuosity with technical proficiency. LRP draws on a myriad of Enferno's skills a musician's natural ear for music, exceptional turntablist ability and production wizardry to upend the traditional idea of a deejay set. Basically, it allows me to produce music live on the spot as opposed to just getting up there and spinning a record, says Enferno. I'm able to record sounds from the turntables and keyboards and then affect and mix those sounds live. So instead of mixing between two turntables, I'm managing up to 20 sources of sound at a time, all by myself. The result is, as the Miami New Times recently put it, a tech-toy geek's dream come true. Trainspotters eat up its impressively innovative tangle of wires and software; dance-floor denizens are moved by its democratic multigenre, all-fun groove. (Check out www.liveremixproject.com for a sample.)
In fact, it was at a LRP set that Enferno caught the eye of Kevin Antunes, Madonna's musical director, who happened to be at Enferno's show after getting directions from the boss herself to look out for some cutting edge deejays for her upcoming tour. After seeing a video of his LRP set, Enferno could add Madonna as a loyal fan and before he knew it, he was rehearsing for the Material Girl's tour.
Enferno's role wasn't limited to performing on stage with Madonna and the rest of the band. Off stage, Enferno was called upon by Madonna to help with musical arrangements and programming. Enferno would rehearse with Antunes and the rest of the crew, and create mashups, remixes and interstitials that would form the backbone of the concert. It still blows my mind, he says with a laugh. I used to get a rush when a few hundred people in a club liked my work. Imagine what it's like to see as many as 75,000 people lose their minds as the biggest star in the world performs the very remix that I helped produce!
