Acidburn (Gui Boratto Remix)

When music historians take a look back at 2008, it will come as no surprise that the year wasn't the best in terms of techno output. With cries of Abe Duque's legendary track "What Happened?" reverberating throughout the industry, 2009 is poised to be the year where techno makes it comeback. Chicago based producer Billy Dalessandro needs no introduction. He has been there to witness the many changes techno has gone through in the past decade, and offers "Polis" as his response. Featuring 11 tracks, his debut album for Soniculture (and fourth artist album in his career) is a look at city structure ("Polis" being the Greek word bearing the meaning "city"), the crumbling facades amidst urban decay. The world is headed into one of its most uncertain times, and that fear is reflected in these dark productions that Dalessandro created with late nights and early mornings in mind. For from the darkest hours great things often emerge, and when music historians look back on 2009 as the year that techno made its comeback, "Polis" will certainly be among those works receiving great praise. The vinyl version of "Polis" will be formed by a series of releases with tracks from the album, that will come out later on cd and mp3. This is volume 1, which contains "Acidburn" and features a very special remix from Gui Boratto. A perfect way to kick off this project. A - Billy Dalessandro - "Acidburn" This is an amazing track which shows how futuristic Billy can be. A hypnotic bassline, with acid influences, takes us through a multidimensional journey into space, fuelled by the most exquisite techno. A true gem that proves Billy's originality and capability of surprising us in every release. B - Billy Dalessandro - "Acidburn", Gui Boratto remix Keeping the idea of the original bassline, the south american wonder boy Gui Boratto, produced the perfect remix for "Acidburn". By making it more progressive and emotional, it gains a different appeal. The piano detail is superb and in a way reminds us of Steve Bug's "Loverboy". The result is amazing. A great piece of work from one of the world's most special electronic musician.
