(Come on Flatpress, let me do an embed…)
Excellent, accessible techno from Brazil, found from the recommended listening page of Questionable Content creator Jeph Jaques (yes, yes, webcomics are bad for you. I know.) I honestly didn’t get into any of the other things currently up there, but Gui Boratto is really excellent.
He strongly reminds me of Underworld, which is an old favorite, but Boratto is perhaps a bit more accessible. Like all accessible techno, it draws comparisons to Daft Punk, which is basically the golden standard for such things, even though the musical style is quite different. “No Turning Back”(embedded from youtube above) off the new album Take My Breath Away is my favorite track thus far. It’s subtle enough to work to, but interesting enough to keep you going, which is how techno should be.
