Bawrut

Bawrut is the stage name of Borut Viola, an Italian DJ and producer associated with indie dance and acid house. Born in Gorizia, Italy, he has released music under both the Bawrut name and his own, working across a range of contemporary club-focused imprints.

Viola’s output as Bawrut sits at the intersection of indie dance and acid house, placing him in a strand of European dance music that draws on classic club forms while remaining oriented toward modern DJ sets. His catalog includes releases for labels such as Ransom Note Records, Pets Recordings, and Silencio, alongside work connected to Vita Lenta and Stolen Goods. These appearances reflect a trajectory rooted in independent dance labels that circulate through DJ-led scenes and compilations as well as standalone singles and EPs.

In addition to his production work, Bawrut is known as a DJ, presenting his tracks in the context they are built for: the club and the dance floor. While his biography is sometimes summarized in brief as an Italian-born artist based in Madrid, his documented origin is Gorizia, Italy, and his recorded work is most consistently framed through the Bawrut alias and its genre affiliations.
