With Miami’s Winter Music Conference just around the corner, Gui Boratto and Martin Eyerer team up for their first collaboration as producers and try to breathe a little warmth back into techno. “The Island,” out February 18 on Audiomatique, finds Brazil-based Boratto and Stuttgart, Germany’s Eyerer combining their talents for a track of choppy, stabbing beats and cleverly constructed synth hooks. It doesn’t necessarily call to mind images of sand, sun, and surf, but we’re assuming it could work for an impromptu oceanside party. On the single’s b-side, a softer, more melancholy mood reigns on “The Beach.”
