gustavo1optmz Interested in electronic dance music? Heard of Gustavo Bravetti? If you answer ‘yes’, then ‘no’, then read on and be enlightened. This Uruguay born DJ/Producer/Performer is not exactly ‘new on the scene’, having been making music for 18 years, but maybe with the advent of MySpace, the ever developing world of music technology and our mouse click accessibility into the works and performances of Century 21 artists, his particular star is shining very bright now.


Gustavo is a very talented synth programmer who collaborates with Ableton on numerous ‘creativity upgrade’ videos (and he’s evidently now onboard as a Native Instruments sound designer), has his own YouTube ‘iProduce‘ channel, produces some unique/minimal tech/tribal house, and is a dab hand at using a multitude of controllers to manipulate sounds and grooves when performing his live DJ sets (we’re talking the ‘Minority Report’ style P5 glove controller, Nintendo Wii’s, TrapKat drum pads, light to motion devices, keyboards etc). He also bagged the lead mix on the recent remix re-issue of the seminal prog house monster, Greece 2000.. a lovely piece of work I’d advise you check out. Finally, the two videos below show a taste of Gustavo as a DJ to add to your list of ‘must sees’, and his oh so clever Ableton Live ‘Operator‘ tutorial on recreating that bassline from M.A.N.D.Y. Vs. Booka Shade’s, ‘Body Language’ bassline – super cool! 8-)
