[....] Anders Ilar



"After some unsuccessful tries to create industrial with analogue synthesisers in the 80s he discovered Aphex Twin and Future Sound of London in the mid 90s. He started to make electronic music like he does today in 2000 after deciding only to use a computer."

Deep, haunting tunes is what you can expect from this Swedish electronica hero. All of his albums are a perfect balance between ambient minimalism and dancefloor oriented tracks. His style can be compared with the style of Anders Trentemoller's 'Last Resort' album. And of course, such geniuses have to be shared with the world. Therefore, you can find all the discogslinks and links to his pieces below. Have fun, I'm sure you will.

Gui Boratto - [KOMPAKTCD56] Chromophobia / [KOMPAKTCD70] Take My Breath Away



"Chromophobia shows that Gui Boratto is not simply a one-trick pony. From awesomely funky tech-house to more measured and thoughtful tracks, this album showcases Boratto's skills as a producer. Sure, he knows how to craft a fine stomp: "Mr. Decay" gets a nice deep groove going, which is only complemented by the plucky melodic line. "Terminal" has some more industrial tones running amok in it, showing Boratto can do harsh as well as pretty. The acid psychedelia of "Shebang" benefits from the funky breakdown in the middle of the track. If cool and dubby is your thing, then "The Blessing" will be right up your alley. But further out on the album, Boratto really gets to show off his stuff: the beatless "Mala Strana" and the more delicate "Acrostico" offer another side to the more pronounced, beat-driven tracks while the darkly melodic "Xilo" counterbalances hiss with some guitar work. "Beautiful Life" is as joyous and as poppy as can be, and it works. Similarly, "Hera" gets us back into upbeat territory. Boratto gives us no reason to fear colors whatsoever with this album." - scoundrel on http://www.discogs.com/

"Brazilian electro mastermind Gui Boratto's track, "Take My Breath Away," is like aural" ice cream with ecstasy shavings on top. Sweet, creamy, and warmly chilling, its first pulsing beat effortlessly hacks into your conscience, while layers of synth weave, multiply, and then deconstruct around it. All you can do is sit back tongue-tied and satiated." - rcrdlbl.com

[IDEAL05-3] Oliver Huntemann - H3



"Oliver Huntemann had great years in 2007 and 2008, with remixes for The Chemical Brothers, Depeche Mode and Underworld as well as arguably the biggest track of the year in “Dios”, coproduced with Dubfire. On to 2009, Herr Huntemann continues his career-long form with his third solo artist album “H-3”. Consisting of 10 full length tracks “H-3” is unpretentious, dancefloor music which combines elements of techno, house and electro to create a long player which truly captures a sound t hat canonly describe as Oliver Huntemann. Linear, driving arrangements, metallic synths and shuffl ing rhythms twist throughout while fractured melodies occasionally surface resulting in something which sums up Huntemann’s personal journey through electronic music through to his veteran status as producer and DJ. With a passionate belief in letting the music do the talking, Huntemann has kept a low personal profihle and handpicks projects he can invest in properly, and “H-3” is the superb result..."
