Gui Boratto has a beautiful life

Hello future, past, and present lovers. Welcome to music + love, a place where I tell you what sounds awesome. The skies are a clear blue here in California, the hills are golden, and the bronze rays of the setting sun look amazing through the dense clouds of smog. Yup, summer has officially hit and it is here to stay.

Ah yes, summertime - the season of love. As you kick back, relax, and enjoy everything the bountiful gifts of the sun has to offer -- especially this season's slew of summer festivals -- you may be wondering: what songs will be the soundtrack to the coming months? Because remember: the music you listen to now will form a powerful, irreversible bond of association to this very time and space, a bond indisolluble by even the best musical therapists or post-summer breakups!

That said, allow me to make some recommendations.

This first artist is one who I recently fell in love since seeing him perform live under the fabled desert sun of the Coachella Valley. His name is Gui Boratto, a DJ from Sao Paolo, Brazil. His music has a rhythm heavy, minimalist edge that still manages hits the dance floor hard. (At his live show, he had the knack of leading the crowd on and releasing the build-up at the moment just after you would expect to a disorienting but amazing effect.) All in all, its a lush sound, a sparse but refreshing tropical rainfall of kicks and snares on the eardrums.

If theres one track of his you need to check out its his most well-known: Beautiful Life. If your summer is anything like this song...well, you're livin' the dream then.
