Having been raised in a Hispanic household, from early on, Bruno Robles was exposed to rhythmic music, predominantly of Cuban nature. It was no surprise that from an early age Bruno had a lively interest in music, pursuing lessons in percussion, keyboard and vocals. Armed with his developing music sense, he quickly developed an appreciation for the Italian underground disco sound that was very fashionable in Miami in the mid 80’s. With guidance from established dj’s in the Miami scene, he visited local import-record shops were he was exposed to many different new sounds of music including the early traces of house. Still a “bedroom DJ”, he was encouraged by friends to spin at local underground parties, mainly for friends. Through time, his innovative sound quickly caught-on and he was hired as DJ for an organized day poolside party at a Miami Beach Hotel (which later turned into a night party in the ballroom).
Being in Miami Beach made him more accessible to talent thirsty promoters and was often solicited for private parties. Having such influences as Angel Moraes, Junior Vasques, Victor Calderone and Danny Tenaglia, Circa 1995, his style shifted and he gained a reputation for spinning quality house. The Miami Beach Club Boom was in full effect and it didn’t take long before he was doing club appearances. One of the very first was at The Arch Club (later to become the infamous Club Chaos). Simultaneously, he was offered various jobs including opening for Eddie X at The Warsaw Ballroom, a South Beach institution at the time and host to a wide gamma of better known DJ’s. He did several appearances at Liquid which was one of the first to re-introduce the mega club to the SoBe scene. Soon after, he was booked directly by South Beach powerhouse, The Living Room.
Bruno has played alongside some of the better known names in the industry including Danny Tenaglia, Timo Maas, Mr.C, Oscar G. and Ralph Falcon (Murk), Robbie Rivera, and Grammy award winners Roger Sanchez and Paul Harris (Dirty Vegas) as well as Ibiza’s very own, and European favorites, Tania Vulcano & Loco Dice. Through a natural progression, his style encompasses an eclectic mix ranging from progressive and tribal house to techno and progressive tech house. Bruno has held residencies at top venues such as Crobar in South Beach, Club Warehouse in Downtown Miami ( formerly club ENVY ), and Club Space. Club Space, located in Downtown Miami, is known for its constant rotation of top-notch guest DJ’s such as Tiesto, Paul van Dyk, Deep Dish, Steve Lawler, Hernan Cattaneo, Danny Howells and home to world-class resident Oscar G as well as other residents like “Cedric Gervais” and “Ivano Bellini”. Dj Bruno recently holds a monthly residency at the South Beach Hot Spot “Amkia Loft Lounge and Discotheque”, alongside weekly residents “Lazardi and LeMoch”.
