GUI BORATTO BIO
Born in 1974 in San Paulo Brazil, Gui Boratto, architect, musician, composer and producer initiated his career in the advertising sector in 1993. >From 1994 until 2004 he performed various works for countless record labels both national and international. In 2005 he began to dedicate himself to his own productions and compositions, displaying to the public an authoral and more personalized side to his abilities. With countless licenses with respected European labels, such as Kompakt, K2, Audiomatique, Harthouse, Plastic City, among others, Gui Boratto has managed to appear in the chart and playlists of world's most famous producers and DJs, including Steve Bug, Richie Hawtin, Mistress Barbara, Tiefshwartz, Ricardo Villalobos, Lucieno and Loco Dice. In addition, Gui has produced over a dozen underground dance remixes for a wide variety of artists including Adam Freeland, Monoroom, Sian and Robert Babicz. After a string of critically acclaimed releases Gui was invited to headline stages at both the MUTEK and DEMF festivals in 2007, where he won over North American audiences with beautifully elaborate performances ranging from aggressive techno and electro, to dub-influenced electronica.

Boratto will be touring for his 2009 full length release "Take My Breath Away". Here's the Pop Matters review of the album ("9 out of 10") , which contains MP3 links: http://www.popmatters.com/pm/review/...my-breath-away

Nordic Soul has long been enamored with artistic expression, the creation of music, and the technology that fuses it all together, much to the benefit and evolution of the world of electronica and the underground culture that surrounds it. His healthy obsession began at the age of eleven in Detroit with the gift of his first guitar, got a kick in the ass with the purchase of a keyboard and drum machine during his teenage years, and continues to the present as the king of Seattle techno exists as the founder and director of the Decibel Festival. Known to his friends as Sean Horton, this DJ, producer, performer, and programmer brought a distinct and dirty Detroit flavor with him to Seattle in the mid-90’s and the musical zeitgeist of the city has been forever transformed by his presence.

NORDIC SOUL BIO
Nordic Soul has deeply impacted the electronic community not only through his work for the annual Decibel Festival but also by slaying Seattle dance floors year-round. His emotionally charged sets are infused with live instrumentation and ripe with the mélange of organic and synthesized tones, all riding on top of heavy bass lines. The resulting music is a living, hybrid creature with a rich sense of soul that delights in its own existence. A lover of many musical styles, Nordic Soul’s interest and roots in hip hop, IDM, industrial, and dub contribute to his current musical palette that straight drips techno into the mouths of the waiting audience, thirsty for the unrelenting madness and unabated aural penetration that is electronic music.

Since Nordic Soul's inception in 2003 he's shared the stage with a diverse cross section of international talent, including Simian Mobile Disco, Modeselektor, Moby, Trentemoller, Green Velvet, Derrick May, Radio Slave, Bassnectar, Boys Noize, John Tejada, Monolake, Thomas Fehlmann, Kraak & Smaak, Matthew Dear, Funkstroung, Cobblestone Jazz, Luomo, Miles Dyson, Tipper and Four Tet to name a few.
