Renaissance: The Mix Collection - Gui Boratto

Brazil’s most exciting house DJ export, Gui Boratto makes his eagerly anticipated compilation debut as he joins the ranks of the Renaissance Mix Collection series…

2009 has been a great year for Gui Boratto; he released his second artist album; brilliantly remixed the likes of Moby, Simian Mobile Disco, Sam Taylor-Wood & The Pet Shop Boys and Bomb The Bass; created one of the years best Essential Mixes, then perfectly capped it all by entering the DJmag Top 100.

And it’s with his fast-rising DJ status he continues to focus as he kick-starts 2010 with his first mix album for Renaissance. Gui’s diverse, melodic style is a natural fit with the compilation genre, which he perfectly presents across 2 discs, highlighting some of the scenes most exciting producers such as Tricky, Josh Wink, Martin Buttrich, Lusine, Jonh Tejada, Mathew Jonson, Christian Smith and many more… Dance fans will take further delight in the fact Gui’s also featured 8 of his own tracks and remixes; 4 of these are brand new productions, including an exciting co-production with Bomb The Bass called ‘The Infinites’ and a forthcoming Renaissance single, ‘Trills’.

“I really enjoyed mixing my Renaissance Mix Collection,” says Gui Boratto, “I tried to find the perfect blend of my favourite producers and tracks; exclusives from friends and peers, plus my own material, be it original or remixes.”

And Gui hasn’t actually stopped there as he’s provided further production and edits throughout both mixes, ensuring the stage is well and truly set for one of the most exciting comps of 2010… and it’s only February!

Renaissance: The Mix Collection – Gui Boratto – is out 8th February 2010

The City & Arts Music Project

With the talk of January detox you could be forgiven for thinking clubland shuts down for the month at the beginning of each year. But you’d be wrong.

London nightlife is alive and kicking and one of East London’s newest ventures, The City Arts & Music Project has lots in store to keep you warm and entertained in the winter months.

Here’s a look at what’s coming up including the the launch night of James Priestley’s new London residency – One For Me, One For You – which will take place on the last Friday of every month.

Best of all, all of the events are free entry.

The Camp Presents: Botanists Of The Asphalt
Curated by Stephanie Pochet.
This show runs until 26th January

Inspired by the baudelairean figure of the flâneur, this exhibition invites you to experience the city through the eyes of the artists. In Baudelaire prose and poems, the “flâneur” designates a nineteenth century urban bohemian who wanders the city streets aimlessly, collecting impressions of modern life; alienated by the city and yet at one with it.  According to him, the artist is the perfect candidate to fulfil this role of observer and capture the multiple facets of the metropolis. Several artists have undertaken this urban inquisition and explore what attracts, repulses and stirs them about the city. Buildings, faces, stimuli and experience become instruments to their creative process, resulting in a multitude of narratives, which are developed through sculpture, photography, video, installations and illustration. Artists involved are Wayne Chisnall, Ruth Pickard, David Macdiarmid, Kerim Aytak, David London and Aisling Roycroft.
