2010 CD Renaissance REN55CD

Brazil’s most exciting house export makes his eagerly anticipated compilation debut as he joins the ranks of the renaissance mix collection series… 2009 has been a great year for gui boratto; he released his second artist album; brilliantly remixed the likes of moby, simian mobile disco, sam taylor-wood & the pet shop boys and bomb the bass; created one of the years best essential mixes (a hopeful hint at what’s to come), then perfectly capped it all by entering the djmag top 100. And it’s with his fast-rising dj status he continues to focus as he kick-starts 2010 with his first ever compilation. Gui’s unique, melodic style has won him fans from many electronic genres around the world and will ideally translate to the compilation format, which will no doubt be met with eager anticipation. Says Gui… "i'm very proud to be part of the renaissance mix collection. This compilation is the perfect canvas for me. It’s a great opportunity to show my ever-increasing djing, putting out tracks from fellow djs, producers and friends that i really like and admire; not to mention some of my own exclusive/unreleased material. It's a big challenge that i'm really enjoying!"



Renaissance: The Mix Collection is a double-disc compilation produced and mixed by Brazilian trance and house DJ Gui Boratto. Conceived as a DJ mix, this collection features Boratto's own tracks alongside his remixes of artists like Tricky, Josh Wink, and Bomb the Bass, as well as exclusive tracks from Boratto's peers like Christian Smith, Oliver Koletzki, and Paul Kalkbrenner.

A friend of mine recently told me the thing he liked about Gui Boratto was his reliability, meaning that there was something comforting about both his release schedule and his productions. One man's reassuring steadiness is another's tedious predictability, though, and Boratto has been walking the fine line between the two postures since 2003 with his numerous releases for labels such as Audiomatique, Vendetta, Defrag Sound Processing and Kompakt.

This Renaissance release, quickly following M.A.N.D.Y. in the Renaissance: The Mix Collection series, starts where Addicted Volume 2, Boratto's first double disc mix left off. Except this time, out of the 23 tracks composing the mix, nearly a third are originals or remixes from Boratto himself, something that only furthers the homogeneous feel of the compilation. M.A.N.D.Y.'s showcased a more wide-ranging selection and daring technique. Next to it, Boratto's seems crucially underwhelming.

This is especially apparent on CD 1, as the producer's usual aesthetics (the measured sweeping and trance-ish synths, the emotion-ridden pads à la Superpitcher and quirky-sounding samples à la DJ Koze, the accentuated, almost Joy Division-esque live feel of the basslines) are exhibited through new takes on singles "Take My Breath Away" and "Azzurra," the humming "Telecaster" or the Bomb the Bass collaboration "The Infinites." That said, there is nothing there you haven't heard before on Boratto's 2009 long player. Even his reinterpretation of Ada's "Lovestoned," as faithful as it is to the original, can't help but feel a little morose and ordinarily familiar.

CD2's Hatzler/Gabe & Marcello V.O.R./Stimming sequence, for instance, is particularly bouncing with saccadic beats and carefully designed clicks and bits, but the stream is rapidly interrupted by "The Glam," a recent Boratto production that buzzes with electrifying, distorted pads and sub-level frequencies. Needless to say—notwithstanding the undisputable quality of the track itself—the transition comes across as forced, unnatural, as if the DJ felt the raging impulse to leave his own mark again. The mix switches gears toward the end as it goes into more uplifting techno mode, with Motor City Drum Ensemble's sharp remix of André Lodemann's "Vehemence of Silence" and Max Cooper's rousing "Stochastisch Serie" right before stepping into a depression-inducing but fitting coda with Tricky's muddy and sluggish "Past Mistake"—one of the rare passages from one genre to another that is graceful and, aesthetically speaking, justified.

It would be perverse to hold Boratto's consistency against him, especially when he keeps releasing 12-inches as efficient and enthralling as "I Feel Love" or his Trentemøller-esque, better-than-the-original rework of Massive Attack's "Paradise Circus." But what seems obvious here is that for the Brazilian producer, the mix CD format is more akin to another masterful studio-bound experience than a truly unique way to explore untried avenues. Reliability, in this case, unfortunately verges closer to redundancy.
