III

VINYL FORMAT. Gui Boratto is truly that success story that aspiring dance producers dream of. From his Brazilian home of São Paolo as a student of architecture and design, he quickly found himself in the position as one of the country's primary pop/rock producers (including work for Steel Pulse). It was with his 2005 debut Kompakt release on the K2 sub-label Arquipélago that shot him into prominence and paved a strong path of singles that led to the now classic full-length Chromophobia . The lead singles "Mr. Decay" and "Beautiful Life" remain two of the most unforgettable tracks in Kompakt history. It was his sophomore album, the 2009 breakthrough, Take My Breath Away, which evolved him as a dance producer further into a realm of his own right as one of Brazil's most established musicians. His remixes for Pet Shop Boys, Massive Attack and co-producing Bomb The Bass further demonstrate this tremendous talent amongst us. Following a world-wide rollercoaster of almost 3 years continuously on the road touring, Gui Boratto found himself back in his São Paolo studio in early 2011. The results are here with III -- arguably his greatest musical accomplishment to date. Kicking off with the slow drive of "Galuchat," the sitar-ish instrumental embedded in the track sets a foundation of melancholic organic groove found throughout III. "Stems From Hell" will not disappoint the die-hard fan -- his masterful approach to the maximum and minimum of sound variation is pure peak-time. "Striker" was originally intended for his second full-length, but was left on hold and fortunately completed for III. Featuring vocals from Gui Boratto himself, his contagious bass line has no limit, recalling the likes of Echo And The Bunnymen.
