“They just sound different and beautiful, real musicians” Gui Boratto

In the summer of 2012, a stunning single called Wish made quite a splash in the international techno community — it was released on a limited edition picture vinyl only and delighted listeners worldwide. Composed in memory of Muddy Waters, the bluesman that electrified the Delta blues, it came from the hands of Elekfantz, a project completely unknown to most floor hounds: speculations about the originators ran rampant and the name Gui Boratto was brought forward more than once.
And it was indeed Gui who heard it first, deciding that not only this was music he’d love to see released, but also a talented duo he absolutely wanted to work with, becoming their manager and collaborator in the process. Thus, a new label was born: D.O.C., Gui’s very own label imprint. Sure enough, Elekfantz were the first artists to be signed.

The curtain was lifted in 2013 with “Diggin' On You” on the Kompakt distributed label outfit D.O.C. — revealing two incredibly gifted musicians.

Power Duo

Daniel Kuhnen and Leo Piovezani met 20 years ago when they played together in a blues band. Leo is a professional drummer, singer and composer since the age of 15. He played and recorded with some of the greatest artists in Brazil. Daniel was born and bred at the electronic music temple in South America, later becoming a resident DJ and local hero. He’s known as the right guy to prepare the dance floor setting up the right mood and one of the finest DJs of the Brazilian new wave of electronic aficionados.

Dark Tales & Love Songs

After their stunning 2012 debut single “Wish” and 2013’s smash single “Diggin' on You,” the incredibly gifted Elekfantz returned to the fore with what can only be called a brilliant full-length premiere. Their debut album “Dark Tales & Love Songs” sports all the intimate melodies, lush harmonies and organic undertones that the duo has become known for and then some: from pop-infused songwriter house to highly-emotive primetime anthems, you’ll find lots to love about this expertly-crafted collection of melodic gems. Engineered to perfection by D.O.C. label head Gui Boratto, it’s an exciting step for the imprint and the project alike.
