Guts - Straight from the Decks, Vol. 2 (Guts Finest Selection from His Famous DJ Sets) '2021

Tracks list

Any DJ set tells you, unconsciously or not, about its author.

Through the record choices and the way they are organized, one can feel the
DJ’s state of mind and find out a bit more about the musical deposit
discovered that is being shared and dug through by him or her at the moment.

The appetite for diggin’, the quest for a novelty or a forgotten rarity
is what makes a DJ set a true organic living matter constantly fueled although
not always, unfortunately, respected.

Time stretching. Too many DJ’s made a pact with this diabolical creature.
A true digital steamroller that runs over the rhythm to fix the tempo while
leaving behind an agonizing drummer whose sole crime was to have been carried
away by his energy and having moved forward the BPM. At the end, everything that
gave charm and life to the track, its imperfections and the peculiar fact that
it makes you dance faster towards its end… all these along with all the
lively movements contained within the track are reduced to nothing.

My conception of music and DJ sets is the exact opposite. Since the first volume
of Straight From The Decks, my DJ sets have been redesigned, refreshed and
improved. However, there was no preexisting plan, they evolved naturally
following my new desires. The famous core of my indispensable musical choices
started to morph little by little into something different without losing sight
of its center of gravity which remains undoubtedly afro-tropical.

No matter which track, its style and its origin, the quality of the music that
is brought to my ears is always my sole and primary concern.

In this selection, you’ll find 7” vinyl records available to
everyone sitting proudly next to some rarities found online and acquired through
nerve-raking auctions battles. There are indeed exclusive remixes along with
titles that until now were only available in their digital formats. Now for the
first time they are available here in vinyl format. Obviously, if you have
chosen the CD format, that precision doesn’t really matter…
Sixteen titles which have become the heart of my sets throughout this past year.
A heart which in a year will beat to a certainly different drum…

Pura Vida
