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."

"Gui Boratto doesn't need any introductions, actually he is simply one of the best techno producers around. 'Tales From The Lab' is a masterpiece featuring multiple sensations. 'Part 1' is a cool and insane tune, pumping groove based with guitar inserts and acid mind-blowing basslines.

Title:	Tales From The Lab Remixes 1
Label:	DEFRAG SOUND PROCESSING (ITALY)

Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	DFRG 025EP

"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."

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."

2nd Gui Boratto 12" on this Kompakt sub-label. "It was just some months ago...Our Brazilian bomb, Gui Boratto, came through with his brilliant debut Archipelago on K2.

This charming brilliant accent, of which Gui Borrato nonchalantly speaks in our universal language of minimal techno, of what continues to cause fervor and excitement.

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
Label:	K2 (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	K2 032EP

"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."

Gui Boratto has taken the techno universe by assault with his album, Chromophobia, so it's only logical that it practically begs for remixes. On the A-side we find an enormously exquisite "Mr.Decay" version by Robert Babicz, that has everything that a good remix needs, which keeps the original recognizable, yet is full of interpretations and surprises. On the B-side, darling of the hour The Field mixes "Hera," holding all the unmistakable, fantastic, futuristic qualities everyone loves about this track and about The Field.

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.
