His debut solo record, Chromophobia,[1] was named album of the month by Mixmag.[2] He has since released six more full-length albums as well as numerous EPs and singles.

Boratto owns the record label D.O.C., distributed by Kompakt. The first artist he signed was the Brazilian electronic duo Elekfantz.[3]
