You will find in this category each week, a review on a MP3 track or vinyl track which is breaking the news. All styles are on the “menu” of this category: minimal, house, electro, techno or even trance in some cases.
The topic will be supplemented by other albums following the latest electronic music news.
Sao Paulo’s techno titan returns. Gui Boratto needs little introduction - after all he’s played pretty much every corner of the globe, placing himself as one of the most in-demand producers and performers in dance music today. It’s summer and Kompakt’s bomb for the season is about to explode. Just in time for his extensive European tour throughout July. Indeed, he will be soon for instance in Paris @ Showcase on the 13th of July with Robert Babicz. More precisely the review is about his new EP “The drill” that will be released under the German imprint Kompakt Records soon.
“The drill” embraces the classic Kompakt “shaffel” but delivered in a chalice of class that only Gui Boratto is capable of drinking from. It is also available of the new compilation of the german imprint CD “Total 12”. A roaring bass line that sways side to side in layers of euphoric harmony. 3 Bs. Bold – brazen. Boratto.
“Stems from hell” is classic Boratto. Guitar-esque chording launches this depth charge that is just pure build. Tension and release – you sense this track can almost breath on it’s own. The moments are near perfect in this swelling that reaches a fever pitch right when you think it would never come.
There will be more from Gui Boratto in 2011… And as an exclusive content for you, I will publish soon an interview with the man himself. Stay tuned…
