Bottin

Bottin (Guglielmo Bottin, born 1977) is an Italian composer, producer, DJ and music scholar, based in Venice, Italy.

His tracks have a clear italo disco and retro-futurist electronic music influences. Before moving to contemporary space disco, he was signed to Italians Do It Better by Johnny Jewel via MySpace in 2008. Bottin was also part of the early synthwave scene playing at Valerie Collective parties and producing remixes for Jupiter.

In 2009 he released Horror Disco, a concept album that fused nu disco, cosmic disco and Italian giallo movies soundtracks. In 2014, he collaborated with Steve Strange and Visage on the song Poison Within. Bottin recently contributed to the soundtrack of Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon by Ana Lily Amirpour.
