Title:	Beluga
Label:	AUDIOMATIQUE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	AM 014EP

"Born in 1974 in Sao Paulo, Gui Boratto is one of the owners of the Brazilian independent label Megamusic. In 2005, he began to focus on his own productions and compositions, developing a more narrative and personal style. With countless licenses on respected European labels such as Plastic City, Circle, Kompakt and now also Audiomatique, among others, Gui Boratto has managed to appear in the charts and playlists of people like Michael Mayer, Tiefschwarz, Steve Bug, Phonique, Martin Landsky and Hernan Cattaneo. The title track is 'Beluga' on the A-side. This track is a an exciting mixture of old school house elements paired with pumping modern electronic house sounds jacked up with sophistication, perhaps hence the name 'Beluga'... 'Strobe' on B1 is a hypnotizing minimal loopy groove-monster and 'U-Bahn' on B2 takes you on a ride through the Berlin tube system."

"After the huge hit 'Tales from the Lab' by Gui Boratto, we are proud to present the follow up with a very special edition of remixes. A1: the first track grows out of the hands of Sian, one of the coolest producer actually around. In the 'No Lab Animals' remix Sian took the hook of the original track merged with a strong bassline and an incredible huge sound. The B side is by Axel Bartsch, already known for his productions on Sportclub, Kompakt, Spielzeug. His 'Dirty Disco RMX' is a sexy and polished tune with percussion, an hypnotic synth that will blow your mind and a funky bassline. Both tracks give new life to this anthem."

Label:	DEFRAG SOUND PROCESSING (ITALY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	DFRG 027EP

On white vinyl. "Here we go with the new Defrag from our Brazilian friend Gui Boratto. I Feel Love is one of those very special records that goes far and further from the boring trends of the moment. As we like to say it's a 'timeless techno' tune, an open air magik track with vibrant pads full of synthetic feelings and processed voice that reminds the best moments of the disco from the '80s or, if you prefer, as our friends at Kompakt, you can define it: elegant techno."

Title:	The Rivington EP
Label:	GALAKTIKA RECORDS (SPAIN)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	GLK 014EP

With Martinez remix. "With The Rivington EP, Galaktika treads the boards of electronic lyricism with strength. Produced by the Brazilian Gui Boratto, a composer that has published with the best labels on the planet, this track is the product of vibrant pads, gloomy melodies and the DJ's thorough vision of electronica. The Rivington EP is pure synthetic feeling, it is the catalyst that brings together the indietronic psychedelia of Morr Music with the dancefloor effervescence of Border Community.The remix of 'Rivington Suite' is the work of a well-known member of the family, Martinez, who turns around the emotion of the track and gives it a swift and pounding rhythm. The track is sustained on the darkness of minimal and the acoustic textures of electro: the entire cut is bathed with fragmented synthesizers that tie with a deep and hypnotic bassline. This remix is the perfect piece to liven up the dancefloor and break all bounds."

Title:	Gate 7
Label:	K2 (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	K2 019EP

"There he is again. At the moment we can't get enough of our favorite Brazilian. On our new single it's going off a little bit more seriously. 'Gate 7' is the title track and is a masterpiece of minimal. The crispy-elegant sound-design is reminding a little bit of John 'Hug' Dahlback, but with this South American touch that makes that typical 'Boratto-Beat.' On the B-side 'Chains' smashes straight forward. Techno-toughness meets sexy hip action. Berghain meets Copa Cabana."

Title:	Anunciaci�n

"Since his debut 'Arqipelago' (K2/4) Gui Boratto has achieved almost everything a techno artist can achieve these days. His album Chromophobia, including the omnipresent single 'Beautiful Life' has been a firm favorite amongst DJs from every angle. It's the rare combination of brilliant technical skills, an uncanny ear for catchy hooklines and this razor blade-sharp grooves that make him an exceptional figure in techno world of today. With Anunciaci�n, he's back where everything began: on Kompakt's dinky K2. Soundwise, it's a wee bit darker than Chromophobia but hey -- that's this winter's fashion. But don't worry, there's still a fair amount of soulfulness involved."

"Azzurra" was one of the highlights of Gui Boratto's Take My Breath Away (KOMP 070CD/KOM 190LP). On this 12" version, he bumps up the bass, adds a vocal chorus and teleports the original into a new stratosphere. "Telecaster" is a dark and deep floor-leveller, where Gui's trademark bass pitch slides in and out of The Cure-ish guitar strums. "The Glam" features elemental percussion and a low-end synth ride that rolls with a menacing delivery certain to lay devastation on any dancefloor.

Title:	Chromophobia
Label:	KOMPAKT (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	KOMP 056CD

This is the long-awaited, highly-anticipated debut full-length release from architect, producer, musician and composer, Gui Boratto, born in S�o Paulo, Brazil. Those who have followed his steady stream of 12" singles are already well acquainted with his remarkable ear for coming up with emotive, savvy dance music. Whether it be his minimal-techno burners for Kompakt's K2 imprint, energetic house for Steve Bug's Audiomatique Recordings and Plastic City, and of course, there was "Like You," the sensational pop-techno anthem that broke him wide open on the international circuit early last year. Though he recently began producing under his real name (debuting with a remix for the film City Of God), what many don't know about Gui Boratto is that for over 10 years he has been one of Brazil's most in-demand producers having worked with such consecrated artists/bands as Pato Banton, Steel Pulse, Desiree, Manu Chao and many, many others. With Chromophobia, Boratto surpasses all experience and expectation with infinite catchy hooks, lazy synths, romantic vocals, and so many shimmering techno-colors, it'll make your eyes squint in the sunshine. Many scribes spoke that last year was the year techno learned how to make a proper artist album. Well, Boratto very well could be the first to perfect the art with this momentous release. It's easy to coin Gui Boratto as "varied" and "eclectic," however, Gui brings a vast spectrum of influences together with an uncanny sensibility to make arguably THE seminal Kompakt record filled with all the grace and roar in the world to shake the bottoms of the biggest dance haters out there, and get our fans so excited they'll feel like they're on their fifth caipirinha raving on top of the Sugarloaf.

Title:	Take My Breath Away
Label:	KOMPAKT (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	KOMP 070CD

This is the hotly-anticipated second full-length release from architect, producer, musician and composer, Gui Boratto, born in S�o Paulo, Brazil. Two years have passed and much has changed since Gui Boratto shot to prominence with his Kompakt debut Chromophobia. A much-needed spot of color amidst the minimal milieu, Gui's mixture of fierce production skills and a blissful pop sensibility have characterized his trajectory to the techno heavyweight before us today. Amidst a rigorous touring schedule and busy family life arises Take My Breath Away. Laced with subtle critique and double-entendre, Gui's philosophical approach is adept at packaging the rough, smooth, bitter and sweet into a number of emotive and ultimately optimistic productions. Equally a statement of concern and call for solidarity, the title track conveys a sense of scale and immediacy with soaring melodic progressions and pounding bass. Epic and densely constructed, clattering metallic tones escalate to a howling climax before a deep-pulsed drive to close. "Atomic Soda" rasps with gritty, hovering synths and complex rhythms, phase transitioning into a monolithic bass stomp with staccato percussive modulation that was built to move. The bit-crushed melodies of "Colors" enters shimmering dream-pop territory, while "Opus 17" marks Gui's 17th album track, continuing the lineage of his debut with a mixture of droning Cologne, shuffling IDM beats and kaleidoscopic synth textures. "No Turning Back" jars with uneasy cyclical rhythms, developing a tension that breaks with a chorus as grandiose as it is energetic. Gui's wife Luciana Villanova provides the Midas touch yet again, contributing a stirring vocal reminiscent of her contribution to Gui's anthemic "A Beautiful Life." "Azzura" swings with delicate harmonic shifts, while "Les Enfants" features a tripped-out organ melody and live drum break to continue the brief descent in pace. "Ballroom" is strictly club material, probing with stabbed synth and the hardest kick on the record. Taken deep and destabilized with uneasy melodic tones, it provides a fitting introduction to closer "Eggplant." Patiently progressing from ascendant synth chords to a tightly-wound concoction of frenetic percussion and dissonant harmonic elements, "Eggplant" gathers enough momentum to make a vegetable move. Take My Breath Away is riddled with profound melody, layers of color, and modern deepness and is addictively danceable. It is also further proof that Boratto is worthy of any and all breathless adulation heaped upon him.
