Bottin

Real Name:
Guglielmo Bottin
Profile:
(1977) 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.

After two albums (Chill Reception in 2002 and I Love Me Vol. I in 2004) and more than 20 compilations for Italian label Irma Records, he started working as producer and arranger for major Italian pop artists like Lucio Dalla, Donatella Rettore, Sergio Caputo and arranged a platinum-selling album by Chambao (Sony-BMG, Spain)

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 by Antoni Muntadas. He has also written original music for the feature films "Once And Future Queen " and the upcoming "The Boy With The Sun In His Eyes" both directed by Todd Verow (Bangorfilms, USA).

His work was featured by many cultural institutions and performed at venues such as the Cannes International Film Festival, the Biennale of Contemporary Dance in Venice, Speak Truth To Power, Kennedy Foundation (Usa), Nouveau Casino (Paris), Fabbrica del Vapore (Milan). Villa Manin Center for Contemporary Arts, Centro Internazionale d'Arte e Cultura Palazzo Te (Mantua), Circuito Off Festival (Venice).

As a nu-disco producer he recently released "Fondamente Nove" on Eskimo Recordings, "No Static" for Mike Simonetti's cult US label Italians Do It Better and his third full-lenght album "Horror Disco" (Bear Funk UK).
