The Live Remix Project (LRP) was born in 2006. It is a one-man symphony incorporating turntables, instruments, effects and samplers that combines musical virtuosity with technical proficiency. LRP draws on a myriad of Enfernos skills—a musicians 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. Im able to record sounds from the turntables and keyboards and then affect and mix those sounds live. So instead of mixing between two turntables, Im 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 geeks dream come trueTrainspotters 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, Madonnas musical director, who happened to be at Enfernos 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 Girls tour. (Ironically, the deejays first slow dance was to Madonnas Crazy For You at 13 years old.)
