Dance ‘Til You’re Dead recently conducted an interesting interview with Bottin, in which the Italian artist discusses the electronic music scene in Venice and Vietnam.  He also offeres three very sound words of advice that you can read all about here.

About:
 
Bottin (Guglielmo Bottin, 1977) is producer, dj and sound designer based in Venice, Italy Bottin makes music only an Italian can make… probably Take a youth spent against a background of old Italian Giallo soundtracks, add in late 70s Italian disco influences, a touch of free and easy west-coast vibe and a smattering of kitsch. That just about half describes Bottin.
 
Early works include two albums (Chill Reception in 2002 and I Love Me Vol. I in 2004), Later he started working as producer and remixes for major Italian pop artists like Lucio Dalla, Donatella Rettore, Sergio Caputo and Spanish group Chambao.
 
As sound artist he was selected for Fabrica, the Benetton creative research center founded by Oliviero Toscani. For Colors Magazine he curated the Color Music series, presented at the Sonar festival in Barcelona. For the Biennale of Venice he designed audio for Spanish Pavilion.
 
Bottin’s seminal releases include “Fondamente Nove” on Eskimo Records (2008) and “No Static” for American label Italians Do It Better (2009). Bottin soon moved to the forefront of the contemporary disco scene with his concept album “Horror Disco” on Bearfunk Records UK, which garnered critical praise for its dashing display of all of Italo’s delights without the pastiche. The album’s title may conjure up images of a Goblin inspired trip through Dario Argento horror movie nostalgia, but in actuality it is filled with thick, Moroder-esque basslines that inspire dancing rather than dread. Horror Disco has sold out 2 cd editions and is currently been repressed in a double-LP special collector’s edition.
 
in 2010 Bottin is back on Eskimo Recordings with Galli/Piazza Venezia (produced together with Rodion) in which the signature italo-disco approach gradually blends into a housed-up dancefloor anthem. Shortly after, Nang Records releases “Discoursive Diversions”, a collection of remixes by Bottin for artists like Lindstrom, In Flagranti, Tosca and many more.
 
2011 saw the release of the Discocracy single on Eskimo Recordings (followed by the Discocracy Revisited remix EP) as well as Aztaro, a collaboration between Bottin, Justus Köhncke and Rusty Egan of Visage.
 
With an exhaustive touring schedule covering over 20 countries and 4 continents, from North America to Australia, Brazil to Hong Kong, from Europe’s best underground parties to cult events like We Love Space in Ibiza, Bottin’s reputation as both producer and DJ is a steadily growing force to be reckoned with. His sets are an unpredictable journey into space disco, italo rarities, and deep funk. A reckless blend of retro-futuristic sounds and contemporary electronica that always sets the dance floor on fire.

►LUPO (Apex Records / electrodance, Dresden)
 
endlich wieder hinter den Plattenspielern:
Neustadturgestein der nur selten seine Musik der Öffentlichkeit zum Besten gibt—special thank’s vorab!!
 
►ALFRED KÜHN (Kammerflimmern Berlin / between Deep-House, Minimal & Techno, Berlin)
 
Der kühne Alfred besticht durch wundervoll aufgebaute Klangteppiche,er bringt jeden Popo zum wackeln und jeder Dancefloor Kocht nach dem die Klangteppiche ausgelegt sind. …..mit seiner eigenen Handschrift und dem Privileg, sich von den üblichen Sachzwängen freigeschwommen zu haben ist es schwer, seinen Style genau zu definieren. Irgendwo zwischen Deep-House, Minimal & Techno. Insbesondere Künstler wie Daniel Steinberg, Luna City Express, Carl Craig, Alle Farben, Terry Lee Brown jr., &ME, The Timewriter, Channel X, Theo Parrish & Luciano inspirieren Ihn noch heute. Aus dieser Vielfalt an Einflüssen resultiert ein eigener Sound. Und in diesem Sinne wünschen wir “Gute Unterhaltung” und shake what your mama gave ya.
