Your reviews of the mix

Steve. bristol.
The guy's quite simply a genious! why nobody has commented on the track before 'take my breath away' giu's remix of freeland's mancry im not sure ? It sounds amazing ! ! Probably cause Mp3 players dont do it justice. Get an amp + speakers people !

Ringo - Near Brazil

Gus, Brazil
I liked "Take My Breath Away" but I still prefer "Chromophobia". Great essential mix!

Flávio, Brasília, Brazil
I'd been in several Boratto's live performances. THE MAN IS MASSIVE!

Ant blackpool
not bad

Kalina, Brazil
I went to Gui Boratto last year here in Brazil... awsomeeeeee!

John Dublin - RoI
Music for a Coffee Table. Safe Safe Safe. The realms of possibility remain unscathed for another week. Just checked - The frontiers are still intact. My Mum liked it. Nice music.. Too nice. Not enough contrast between light & dark. Lets start a campaign to remove the white keys from Midi Keyboards.

Aidan, London
Getting me through work at nine o'clock on a Tuesday night, what can I say. Awesome essential mix.

Chris, Toronto
simply amazing :)

lee - miami
well mixed,wouldve preferred to hear something broadcast live from the wmc,this year was better than the last 2 combined,feels like a bit of a snub,anyways keep the great essential mixes coming

Alex, Sao Paulo, Brazil
Very good! I knew it!

Scoot, Chicago
Incredible mix...top shelf!

Rich. Coventry
This is by far the best Essential Mix i've heard in a long time. Always liked Gui Boratto, the new album is grade a. The Pet Shop Boys remix is so cool

Pete ,you are gonna have me arrested , listening to GUI on the earphones while driving and bobbin my head like its disattached is I am pretty sure illegal.

Justin Jersey uk
Fantastic!!!!!!!

Fantastic mix. Great use of his own tracks, compiled in a really great way. The whole thing is insane. Just need him to come to England a bit more now!

Edward, London
Outstanding performance!!!!

Phe, Scotland
Check out his mix album called Addicted. Very good!

SASHA,CROATIA
THIS GUI KNOWS HIS WORK

Hand Steel - Venezuela.
Gui Boratto… I number one in techno in Latin America… Present Brazil in esential mix… fence show Seth the one of Gui Borrato baet in techno to the world "No Turning Back"

Dj Ozzy, San Diego, California. U,S.A.
NICE.... MUSICIAN TO THE MAX. NOT LIKE OTHER DJ'S VERY UNIQUE, ENJOY!!

Andy from Los Angeles
I'm 40 minutes into it. It's rockin'!

Danny, Manchester
Well, it's nice to see that some DJs have been taking the deadmau5 route, and just shoving their Essential Mixes full of their own tracks and remixes. Unlike the mau5 however, Gui Boratto hasn't even bothered to include a token track which has nothing to do with him. How predictable and shameless.This guy actually makes some brilliant music, but 2 hours non-stop of it is too much for my liking.

Josh US/South Dakota
Is good all the way through.

Jason, Florida
Gui Boratto, a must have. WOW!

Roly, Manchester
Yes, yes, YES! Awesomeness. Nuff said.

Andy, Preston
Amazing mix thanks Gui, Easily one of the best producers around at the moment. Need to see Gui in the U.K.

Neil. Dublin
Quality mix. Easily the best EM I have heard this year.

Ryan, Santa Fe, NM
This mix was the best of 2009 to date. Good to hear some real tech.

Steve, Los Angeles
Seems like an extension of Romboy's mix last week...not that there's anything wrong with that....

Didier, Lyon, France
Awesome musical journey, dreamlike, deep, with a "Conceptual Continuity" ("the crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe" FZ) thanks Gui, and once again thanks radio1 to offer us the best artists (by the way EM of Josh Wink was also exceptional)

Miron, Los Angeles
great EM!

Raphael, Switzerland
ohhh yeah gui. so hot this e-mix. my new favourite e-mix of the year 2009 (till now).

Ricardo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro, BRAZIL
"all I know there is no time, there is no light There is no turning back"This is Brasil, this is Gui Boratto

Carandina, São Paulo
Gui Boratto ROCKS!

CARLL. Paris
Just sound!!!!

Jaz - Birmingham.
This is why Sasha rated him as the best producer around, a couple of years back! I thought 'Beautiful Life' was good, but a tad cheesy; however, I am delighted to have been truly converted by all his other scintillating productions here.

Simon, Manchester
absolutely amazing!Hope Gui plays Sonar!

Rich Manchester
Nice!

Ezequiel from Argentina
The best...say no more. We are waiting for u!!!!!

Ribeiro, Brazil
Brazil's finest!!! JUST IT

Arvis Villa
what suprise to hear some PetShopBoys latest works here! thanks Gui for remixing Love Etc and German film star!

Ricky, Jacksonville Florida USA
When I came home from work I was so depressed that I couldn't get to Ultra this year....until I played this beautiful essential mix by Gui Borrato. It put me in such a relaxed and beautiful place. His choice of tracks and compositions were outstanding. I definitely have to buy his new album now. Thank you Radio One for introducing me to Gui.

John F - Aberdeen
great es loved every min of it i think he should do the es a lot more

Claude Minkey Hereford
Amazin the harmonics and key transformations make this one of the finest and interesting mixes i've heard. The preparation must of took ages, well worth the effort, another quality dj.

Kev P:South Dakota
When ya stuck out in the sticks and can't get to a club, this is wat u want from essential... Perfect!

Fox - Chicago
Solid mix the whole way through. Definitely one of the best of the year so far. All I can say is that this mix reminds me of someones hot, dark, dirty basement. Well done

Gui Boratto is now one of my favorite D ... err ... electronic music performers -- brilliant and, indeed, absolutely essential.

Dilawer Ali Dahraj, Pakistan
Excellent live mix.He is one of the best producers ever!I am one of his greatest fans and he is an inspiration for me.

Igor, Philadelphia
I got just what I was expecting from this EM. This was absolutely a spell-binding two hours. Phenomenal from start to finish. Gui Boratto is definitely one of the most gifted and unique artists of our time right now, and I'm not so sure I would even call this all Techno, as I would more of a melodic journey with a few vocals thrown in for good measure.

DrObi / Austria

J.D. Toronto, Canada

Anabella. Miami.
I really like him. I also liked Mark Romboy. What I can't stand is hard dance. It is so passé. Like the, not exactly, rave days. Totally over. Whoever is still stuck there. Poor things.

Greg, Sydney
Gui! You Rock!
