'Patio de Juegos', which translates as 'Playground', is a wonderful multi-genre journey through the mind of an artist who is both on top of his game, and on the rise towards the stars. Lashings of his ever-present South American heritage infuse with incredibly intricate and perfectly simple house structures that give the whole album it's almost 'child at play' ethos that is rarely found in electronic music. Future club hits such as 'Wanna Be', with its nod to the historical upbeat lineage of house music, and 'All the Girls', with its chugging rhythm, trickling piano loops and erotic vocals sit effortlessly alongside more experimental and jazz inspired tracks such as the explorative 'Still here'. Another fine example is 'Sun', with its deep bass line punctuated with the sun-soaked synths and summer high-hats that export listeners away to a warm utopia. Guti produces a number of tracks with high profile artists from both within and outside the DJ fraternity - a sign of his increasing popularity within electronica, and also his innate ability to collaborate with more mainstream artists. This has resulted in Guti pushing his productions in new and exciting directions. Guy Gerber features on 'We Shall Overcome', with it's rising synths complemented by a chunky beat that will ensure it features in many sets over the coming months. Visionquests' Ryan Crosson lends a hand on 'No Promises' which has resulted in a truly driving dancefloor groove. And 'My Whole Thing' features Anthea Marie Nzekwu whose uplifting vocals accompany a dreamy chilled out beat. Berklee College of Music graduate, and Guti's long-time friend, Grünbox features on 'Miraloo' - an example of Guti's ability to collaborate with the worlds musical elite.
Notably, and perhaps the biggest coup, is that of Daniel Melingo who features on 'Lucio El Anarquista'. The Grammy nominated tango singer and world-renowned musician is well known for his composition work on Pedro Almodóvar's films, and he brings a rich musical education to a truly sublime track. Overall Guti gives up a beautiful mixture of tracks that bridge the space between the club and the living room with consummate ease. A breathtaking first album, which clearly demarcates the live performer's ability and ambition for the coming years.

A classically-trained jazz virtuoso and national rock 'n' roll hero in Argentina, Guti's double 12" pack for Desolat will leave you in no doubt of his ability to twist a snaking groove into something echoingly hypnotic. The tracks contained here are already a favourite in the record boxes of artists like Loco Dice, Carl Cox and Marco Carola, while Guti's life story could itself be the subject of a story by Jorge Luis Borges: "I leave to several futures (not to all) my garden of forking paths."Just two years after his first live sets in Europe, Desolat is proud to present Guti's Las Cosas Que No Se Tocan. The beats follow Guti across continents: Mr Good Vibes was composed in a hotel room in Stuttgart after an argument with a friend, while the serious dancefloor vibes of Sasa, the Hustler and Ieuuu were channelled in Martinez' studio. ieuuu and the Hustler feature slices of glamorous, haunting vocals by Jayson Walker, a British singer that Guti discovered on Myspace. And Sasa boasts Guti's own vocal touches. Meanwhile, the track Aguanile is inspired by one of his favourite melodies as a child, one that he's collected many versions of. The last track on the release, El Campeon, reaches a bittersweet ending in the wide open space between percussive trills and a cut-out refrain, inspired by Guti's favourite Latin storylines of "broken hearts and pain".
