GUI BORATTO - CHROMOPHOBIA
Gui Boratto "Chromophobia" Album Review
Headphone Commute Review
Guilherme Boratto is a Brazilian producer used to laying out minimal tech house twelve inchers for prominent German labels like Plastic City, Harthouse, and of course Kompakt's offshoots K2, Kompakt Pop and Kompakt Extra. Hailing from São Paulo, Gui was approached to contribute a remix to the City of God soundtrack. Chromophobia is a light and refreshing take on over-used building blocks of the style. Familiar beats, simple melodies, and straight to the point approach remind me of the feeling I experienced when I first heard Benny Benassi (before he exploded all over the charts). Listening to the album, a smile creeps upon my lips, being happy for the fact that techno continues to survive and evolve in an over-saturated scene. A unique and memorable sound.

WORM IS GREEN - REMIXES
Worm is Green "Remixes" Album Review
Album Description
Parent-label Elektrolux has already given pop music both modern and sensually-melancholic influences through artists such as <B>Aural Float </B>and <B>Fous De La Mar</B>. Now via their imprint Mikrolux, an Icelandic band of five called <B>Worm Is Green</B>, continues this aesthetic brilliance. <P><P> Worm Is Green was originally founded as bedroom elektronica project by Arni Teitur Asgeirsson. Meanwhile, it has become a band of five, also featuring Bjarni Thor Hannesson (sampler and synthesizer), Thorsteinn Hannesson (drums), Vilberg Hafsteinn Jonsson (bass) and Gudridur Ringsted (vocals). Their debut album <B><I>Automagic </B></I>was released on Thule in 2003 and published once again on the US label Arena Rock in 2004. <P><P> <B><I>Push Play </B></I>is a perfect blend of British New Wave, the 4AD-sound of the <B>Cocteau Twins </B>and essential <B>Portishead</B>-like Trip-Hop. The result: dazzling and elegant pop jewels which, however, do not deny their intense contemporary ambient influences. Like icing on a cake, the second disc in this set is a Worm is Green comprehensive remix anthology. All remixes (except one by the Estonian producer <b>Kaido Kirikmae</B>) have been made by Icelandic musicians. "We have asked all our favorite producers for remixes, and most of them agreed right away. This was just great and a considerable honor since we have not worked together with the entire elite of the Icelandic electronic music scene", says Arni. <P><P> Offbeat breaks, cool electro beats, and minimal house all build up to an exciting finish to another epic Mikrolux masterpiece!
