Gui Boratto Interview:
Quote
...Gui has taken an even more topsy-turvy career path musically—from the mainstream to the underground. He started out as studio producer working for majors in Brazil such as EMI and BMG, and his production credits include records with Steel Pulse, Gal Costa, Desiree and even Garth Brooks. When I press him on his influences, his list is equally unpretentious: "I'm into Depeche Mode, Echo & The Bunnymen, the Smiths, New Order, Jesus & Mary Chain, Yazoo, Sisters of Mercy. Also lots of rock, like Black Sabbath, Kiss, Led Zeppelin, AC-DC, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains, Radiohead, Klaxons. I love Bossa Nova and the old Boleros, like Carlos Gardel."
Rubbing salt deeper into the purists' wounds, Gui is not even really a DJ—not in the crate-hauling, vinyl-spinning sense, anyway. On stage, Gui will likely be seen fiddling with a Macbook and assorted gear, and he sometimes even invites a guitar player to join him.
Gui: "I don't play vinyl. I use my laptop and a few other machines and little toys. My controller is called a Monome — a box full of pads, from these guys in Philadelphia, and I can use it as a step sequencer. So I can program the kicks, the hi-hats, the snares, basically all the rhythm. And I use a Lemur, a touch-screen controller you can customize from this company in Bordeaux. It works with an Ethernet-like a hub, so you can control lights and sound. I think Modeselektor, Herbert and even Bjork use it too...
