Guti with a New Album at the Propaganda Birthday

Guti is coming to us – a rising star in the German music scene hailing from Argentina. You might not have heard of him yet, but representatives of the global DJ community unanimously assure that this is only a temporary situation and predict a great future for Guti.
His musical formation developed ideally without exaggeration. Academic piano education at a young age, which is often accompanied by huge struggles in childhood, becomes an invaluable foundation and important support for musicians of any genre in the future. A fruitful passion for jazz in his rebellious age was replaced by an equally intense interest in rock and roll. Just as an embryo goes through all stages of evolution in the womb, Guti tried his hand at various music styles, ultimately arriving at "the last in line" to create within current trends, namely in electronics – a special, rich, and profound genre.
Here, we should look for the beginnings from the moment when their track "Salson," made in collaboration with Damian Schwarz, was noticed by Loco Dice and licensed for his compilation "The Lab" on the Düsseldorf label Desolat. Over the next one and a half years, Guti successfully released a whole series of graceful house tracks on the Desolat platform. As a result, the artist's debut album on the now-familiar label was released not too long ago in March.
The album "Patio de Juegos" (Spanish for "Playground") on one hand reveals the interpenetrative nature of Guti's musical past and present, while on the other hand, it presents an incredible multi-genre journey through the consciousness of an artist currently at the peak of another creative stage and on the way to conquering even more monumental heights.

"Patio de Juegos" showcases light, sometimes even ethereal, yet very variable house, while the signature jazz undertones and South American flair (for which the artist has faced criticism) increasingly strengthen here into a unique authorial style. Potential club hits such as "Wanna Be" and "All the Girls" with their "chugging" rhythms, flowing piano passages, and sensual vocals sit next to more experimental tracks, such as the jazz-infused "Still Here."
But what makes Guti's first album even more appealing is that it features the creative contributions of remarkable artists: Israeli electronic musician Guy Gerber ("We Shall Overcome"), Detroit techno musician of the new wave Ryan Crosson ("No Promises"), elite segment representative and Berklee College of Music alumnus Grünbox ("Miraloo"), and finally, the Argentine Tom Waits, chansonnier and tango singer, Latin Grammy winner, and composer of music for Pedro Almodóvar's films Daniel Melingo ("Lucio El Anarquista").
An exquisite selection of tracks where sliding melodies, sensual rhythms, and exploratory excercises are enriched with dance dynamics. This is how simply and playfully Guti bridges the gap between the club dance floor and a cozy living room, leaving room for imagination on both sides.
