In a compelling meeting of minds, MOTO SOLO unveils a powerful new single, “There’s Another Way (Gui Boratto Rework),” out now via DOC Records. The track is a richly textured collaboration that sees Brazilian electronic auteur Gui Boratto breathe new life into MOTO SOLO’s dark, synth-driven original—transforming it into a hypnotic, late-night anthem destined for discerning dancefloors.
For Bobby Tamkin, the artist behind MOTO SOLO, this release is more than a remix—it’s the realization of a long-held artistic vision. “If over the past fifteen years you asked me who I'd like to remix my music, it's been Gui Boratto every time,” Tamkin shares. “There's an ominous, foreboding tension to his music that I love. He has an incredible sense of rhythm and melody, wrapped in both mystery and energy.”
That admiration traces back over a decade. As Tamkin recounts, “Many years ago, he played a show in Hollywood at Avalon, and I climbed onstage and handed him a note asking him to produce an album I was working on. I never heard from him, but here we are now and I couldn't be happier with his rework of There's Another Way."
Boratto, best known for his genre-defining releases on Kompakt and remixes for Massive Attack, Pet Shop Boys, and Trentemøller, delivers a remix that honors the DNA of the original track while decontextualizing it within his own lush, minimalist aesthetic. The result is both expansive and tightly controlled: warm analog synths meet shadowy bass lines, delicate arpeggios shimmer beneath a muscular rhythmic foundation, and Tamkin’s brooding baritone glides through it all with measured urgency.
The rework preserves the emotional core of MOTO SOLO’s original—a song anchored in existential reflection and dark romanticism—but channels that energy into something tactile and transportive. It’s a track that evokes the feeling of speeding through a neon-lit city at 2 a.m.: cinematic, kinetic, and steeped in melancholy.
Also included in the release is a dub version, where Boratto strips the arrangement down to its bare rhythmic and textural essentials. In doing so, he offers a second lens through which to experience the song—one built less on narrative and more on groove and movement, ideal for late-night DJ sets that prioritize depth and atmosphere.
“There’s Another Way” in both forms showcases the power of restraint. Rather than chasing trends or maximalist production, the track leans into space, subtlety, and emotion. It’s a sonic experience that sits comfortably between genres: part synthwave, part melodic techno, and wholly original.
For Tamkin, MOTO SOLO is the latest chapter in a long and varied musical journey. His roots trace back to Seattle’s experimental rock scene, where he drummed with Hovercraft and toured alongside the likes of Foo Fighters and The Melvins. Later, he emerged as the frontman of Xu Xu Fang, a project that blended psych rock with cinematic atmospheres, earning placements across film, TV, and major ad campaigns. With MOTO SOLO, he steps fully into the spotlight—crafting a solo sound that channels the brooding introspection of Depeche Mode, the propulsion of New Order, and the sweeping emotion of Justice.
“There’s Another Way (Gui Boratto Rework)” arrives as a preview of MOTO SOLO’s full-length LP, due later this year. If this track is any indication, the project will explore the intersection of analog nostalgia and modern production with confidence and precision. It’s music built not just for the dancefloor, but for headphones, car rides, and late-night wanderings—music that lingers long after the final note fades.
With this release, MOTO SOLO and Gui Boratto offer a reminder of what a remix can truly be: not just a reinterpretation, but a reinvention. This is collaboration at its finest—one rooted in respect, vision, and shared aesthetic values. And while it may have taken over a decade for their paths to officially cross, “There’s Another Way” proves that some creative connections are simply meant to happen in their own time.
