Introducing Reason Essentials
Built for independent minded musicians, Reason Essentials has the feel of a million dollar recording studio with the streamlined simplicity of a tape deck. Distilled from the core of Reason, Reason Essentials contains a great selection of instruments and effects in a virtual rack that builds itself, or can be infinitely customized—drum machine, loop player, sampler, synths, reverb, delay, distortion, mastering effects and more. For guitar players, the built-in virtual guitar and bass PODs from Line 6 bring a wide range of top quality guitar amps, cabinets and effects. The intuitive audio and MIDI sequencer makes recording and arranging music a breeze. Users never have to worry about track counts, latency issues or adding that extra reverb or effect. With an easy to grasp interface, it won't get in the way of ideas and will inspire users to make more music.

It was his sophomore album, the 2009 breakthrough, “Take My Breath Away” which evolved him as a dance producer further into a realm of his own right as one of Brazil’s most established musicians. His remixes for Pet Shop Boys, Massive Attack and co-producing Bomb The Bass further demonstrate this tremendous talent amongst us.
Following a world-wide rollercoaster of almost 3 years continuously on the road touring, Gui Boratto found himself back in his São Paolo studio in early 2011. The results are here with “III” – arguably his greatest musical accomplishment to date. Kicking off with the slo drive “Galuchat” the sitar-ish instrumental embedded in the track sets a foundation of melancholic organic groove found throughout “III”. “Stems From Hell” will not disappoint the die-hard fan – his masterful approach to the maximum and minimum of sound variation is pure peak time. “Striker” was originally intended for his second full length but was left on hold and fortunately completed for “III”. Featuring vocals from Gui Boratto himself, his contagious bass line has no limit recalling the likes of Echo And The Bunnymen. Gui began “III” with “The Third” – a gorgeous play on the four/four pattern that suddenly moves from eight bars to only six. Hi-hats become almost shuffle like in their flow. Gui Boratto said about going into producing “The Trap” that “the good thing about doing an album are the possibilities of experimentalism”. He lets his instinct totally flow as a Rhodes, Piano and Tremolo Guitar converse with one another. Beauty and sadness remarkably collide. A sure album highlight, “Destination: Education” marks the return of his wife Luciana Villanova on vocals (who also sings on “Beautiful Life”). A 119 techno/house crooner that will be a surefire favorite on the modern dance floor. Gui lovingly alikens “Flying Practice” as a part of the three bars that grace the album cover. Classic trance chording build a variety of moods and builds. A French horn make the transition and conclusion. “Soledad” is directly inspired and pays homage Astor Piazzolla’s “Soleda” and ironically a little of Duran Duran’s “Save A Prayer”. This journey ends off with “This Is Not The End” – an indie minded track that demonstrates how masterful Gui Boratto has evolved his signature sound into something quite monumental. Again, Luciana Villanova’s beautiful vocals captures the spirit of what Boratto brings to life. Rounded off with a final synth that makes you feel that something WILL continue – not end.
Gui Boratto will be touring with a new live show full of many surprises in support this fall. It’s inevitable he will come to your town and with that comes a sense of magic and hope which his music forever shall relate.

Au Mad de Lausanne pendant les vacances d’octobre, on ne déroge pas à la tradition des vendanges vaudoises. C’est la saison. Allez. On endosse la hotte et on empoigne le sécateur. A nous les plus belles grappes mûries au soleil du Canada, d’Angleterre, d’Allemagne, de France et de Suisse. Un sacré millésime !
FUNKAGENDA (jeudi 15 octobre) - Depuis trois ans, Funkagenda (UK) est synonyme de house de qualité. On l’a retrouvé sur les labels aussi prestigieux que Ministry of Sound, Defected ou Subliminal. Il a commencé sa carrière à… 13 ans, aidant son père à programmer des bandes-son pour les clubs. Au collège, il fonde son groupe de musique rock soft avant de virer dance et de remporter deux Ibiza Awards: celui du Best Newcomer DJ et du Best Tune of the Summer.

RICHIE HAWTIN (vendredi 16 octobre) – Richie Hawtin (CAN) a l’art de toujours présenter ce que devrait être la musique de demain : des compositions austères et lumineuses, lugubres et éblouissantes, une identité musicale double pour le schizophrène le plus énigmatique et adulé de la scène électronique. On n’est pas surpris d’apprendre que son modèle, c’est Jeff Mills.

Au TOP 100 des meilleurs DJ’s du monde selon le magazine DJ MAG, il pointe en 6e position au classement 2008 (8e en 2007). Et à Ibiza, il a raflé le Best Trance DJ Awards. La forme olympique, on vous dit !

RADIO SLAVE (samedi 24 octobre) - A la base, Radio Slave (D) était composé de deux hommes, Matt Edwards et Serge Santiago. Désormais, il n’en reste qu’un : Matt Edwards.
Il s’impose notamment comme le maître d’une techno minimale, racée, vaporeuse et groovy. Ses mixes sont aussi sombres que dansants. Ce soir au Mad, il nous présente un de ses poulains, Spencer Parker (GB), qui excelle dans l’underground electronic house music
