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.

It’s my belief that history is a wheel. “Inconsistency is my very essence” -says the wheel- “Rise up on my spokes if you like, but don’t complain when you are cast back down into the depths. Good times pass away, but then so do the bad. Mutability is our tragedy, but it is also our hope. The worst of times, like the best, are always passing away”.
