Gui Boratto is the much heralded Brazilian producer behind the huge Beautiful Life single and Chromophobia LP. His spaced out joyfully trancy sounds have been much in demand across the globe of late, making him the current darling of ultra cool German label Kompakt.

He plays live at Thursday’s Kompakt Vs RA party, headlining a bill that also includes Dominik Eulberg’s exclusive Miami gig, and the SOS DJ tag-team Desyn Masiello, Omid 16B and Demi launching their wicked new Balance mix in the room next door.

We’ll definitely try and check it out with our mobile phone camera and blogging tools. Meanwhile, we caught up with Gui by email to hear what he’s looking forward to about his hotly anticipated WMC appearance…

How are you looking forward to playing live in Miami?

“I’m super excited, not just for the shows, but I will see many friends at the same location It will be really funny.”

What can people expect from your live show?

“I’ll be playing some tracks of my album Chromophobia, some new and unsigned releases that I’m working on, plus a lot of improvisation.”

Who else are you looking forward to hearing play out there?

“I really want to see Dominik Eulberg at our Kompakt vs. RA party. I never saw him play before.”

How is the dance scene in Brazil at the moment?

“Well, as you might know, we have amazing clubs and parties from Monday to Monday. We have a really strong scene here and receiving big name international DJs/artists from many different styles too.”

What’s coming up next from you this year?

“Mainly my new album coming up on Kompakt, to be released on September 2008. I’m also touring extensively throughout the summer…”
