Brazil’s Gui Boratto elegantly introduced clubland to his unique world of dreamy melodic techno in 2007 with his debut Chromophobia.
The LPs melancholy, high production aesthetic, and electro-pop sensibilities (Beautiful Life was one of the biggest sing-a-long anthems of that year) made Gui a star around the world.
From the start, it’s clear Take My Breath Away is destined both for dancefloors and home stereos with the tracklist split roughly down the middle between Boratto’s standard (and excellent) deep techno tracks and cute electro pop numbers.
Driving techno fans will lap up Ballroom and Atomic Soda, electro aficionados might dig Eggplant, and Take My Breath Away and Opus will please those who like their techno to burn as slow as a candle.
Colors, Azzurra and Les Enfants showcases Gui Boratto’s calmer and more joyful side by featuring broken beats, electric guitars and live drums.
And fans of the hugely popular Beautiful Life might get their euphoria fix from the vocals on No Turning Back.
Overall Take My Breath Away is an accomplished continuation of Gui Boratto’s colourful melodies.
