It’s been over 10 years since the release of Gui Boratto’s breakthrough full length debut 'Chromophobia'. As to what its title suggests, he shook up the techno game with a contrast of lushly coloured minimal grooves and melody, whilst many will recall that the album included the highlight single “Beautiful Life” which became a dance floor anthem for that era. Four albums in and countless EPs and remixes under his belt, the Brazilian producer's unique savoir-faire in carving out a functional album out of diversely routed singles and features is back at it on his fifth studio LP, 'Pentagram'. Here Gui Boratto lays down a nuanced 12-track narrative that reinvigorates his signature sound into a refreshingly different perspective that feels all too familiar – including the return of “Beautiful Life” vocalist (and Gui Boratto’s wife) Luciana Villanova on the single "Overload".

Returning to the full-length format after a couple of years well spent in the 12" singles circuit, Brazilian groove architect GUI BORATTO follows up his 2011 offering "III" (KOMPAKT 242 CD 90) with new masterpiece ABAPORU - an exotic and colorful journey into sound, spread over 13 richly orchestrated club tracks that display the same penchant for ridiculously catchy melodies and infectious rhythms that already informed his revered 2007 album debut CHROMOPHOBIA (KOMPAKT 152 CD 56).

Gui Boratto, - Destination: Education
Gui Boratto's dark 2011 masterpiece "III" was brimming with deft highlights, but not every one of them was aiming at the floor. Showing his expertise in more than one style, the Brazilian producer wove an intriguing web of beats and sounds that even surprised his most dedicated fans. "Destination: Education", a slightly saturnine rhythm study featuring the return of Gui's wife Luciana on vocals (who also sang on the classic "Beautiful Life" from debut album "Chromophobia"), now gets pushed into the spotlight by dancefloor gurus Terranova and Tale Of Us, both tweaking the track to its optimal danceability. A must have for Boratto zealots and crowd-sensitive DJs alike, this 12" presents two heavy-duty bangers tailored to every party's needs.

Repress!
Our most endearing producer of 2006 finally has delivered his full length to KOMPAKT and we honestly couldn't be more elated. Those who have followed his steady stream of 12” singles are already well acquainted to this Sao Paulo, Brazilian's remarkable ear for coming up with emotive, savvy dance music. Whether it be his minimal-techno burners for our 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, MANO CHAO and many, many others. But let's go back to why we're here…”CHROMOPHOBIA” that is! GUI BORATTO excels on this debut full length for KOMPAKT - many scribes spoke that last year was the year techno learned how to make a proper artist album. Well, BORATTO very well could the first to perfect the art with this momentous release. It's easy to coin “CHROMOPHOBIA” as 'varied' and 'eclectic' as the crowd on the Copacabana (he-he) - it most certainly is. HOWEVER, Gui brings a vast spectrum of influences together in an uncanny sensibility, arguably THE seminal KOMPAKT recordfilled 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 their on their fifth Caipirinha raving on top of the Sugarloaf.

Gui Boratto - U-Bahn
Born in 1974 in Sao Paulo, Gui Boratto is one of the owners of the Brazilian independant label Megamusic. In 2005, he began to focus on his own productions and compositions, developping 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 an hypnotizing minimal loopy groove-monster and „U-Bahn“ on B2 takes you on a ride through the Berlin tube system. Your sound wagon passes several break stations, soundwise and figuratively. Gui chose this name because it reminds me of the movement of an U-Bahn while in Berlin 7 years ago
