Since its inception in 2009, Andrew Rasse aka Butane and Sean O’Neal aka Someone Else’s Little Helpers imprint has remained a must-visit label for DJs within the house and techno world. Offering releases packed full of both stand-alone productions and groove-heavy DJ tools, the conceptual imprint now turns to one of its founders partnered alongside one of its core artists in young Italian talent Riko Forinson to deliver an eight track package that digs deeper than your usual Little Helpers EP, offering pockets of melody and striking sound design whilst ultimately remaining functional and fitting the core label brief – to work for DJs.

Butane and Forinson’s opening pair of tracks set the tone immediately, opting for dreamy, rich chords to partner rolling percussive grooves as opposed to the stripped back aesthetics many have come to know them for, before floating into the 303 driven bassline of Little Helper 337-3, or the hypnotic vocal hooks and growling bass tones of 337-4 as the pair firmly switch things up.

Little Helper 337-5 offers an instant injection of energy as the duo pair swirling synth lines amongst crisp drum licks and resonant vocal chants and murmurs, whilst 337-6 and 337-7 build on this shift in liveliness with well worked percussion arrangements, stuttered voxs and further deep yet driving synth work. Last up, Rasse and Forinson strip things back offering an expertly positioned slice of soul, closing out the package in style with a medley of metallic and organic percussion licks, rich female vocals and snaking grooves throughout – it’s Little Helpers but probably as you’ve never heard before, offering an excellent example of soulful yet dynamic modern house music.

you will know the beats and probably the vocal but I've just added a slightly more 'groove' driven bassline

An outlet founded originally to release his own productions across the house and techno sphere, Butane’s home imprint Extrasketch now houses an extensive body of work from the San Francisco-based talent.  The catalog has heretofore displayed the expansive depth and range of his solo musical stylings across the electronic spectrum as it enters its third year. Having now recently welcomed longtime friend Andras Toth as the first guest collaborator on the label, we see Butane continue to open the label to collaborative efforts here as he pairs up with regular studio partner Riko Forinson following their releases on Deeperfect, Little Helpers, SCI+TEC, Lapsus, and Moan.  With this, the duo reveals a selection of darker collaborative club cuts in the form of ‘Equilibrium’. 

A far-reaching package containing eight tracks, ‘Equilibrium’ offers up Butane and Riko’s most extensive body of work to date; one which is impressive throughout in its diversity of atmospheres.  From the blossoming, emotive sequences of the opening piece ‘The Sad Song’, through the more melodic territories found in ‘Riffraff’ and ‘Get Into My Groove’, the release uncovers a collection of works that span both genres and moods, while focusing on the overarching Extrasketch ethos of delivering functional and quality club records.  ‘Primadonna’ offers a hooky, driving tech house workout with a damaging bassline.  ‘Anxiety’ strips things back to focus on delicate melodies, hazy atmospherics, and somber psychedelic reflection.  ‘All In My Head’ incorporates Butane’s trademark subversive, tripped-out vocals, before the duo wraps up the EP with the slick floating textures of ‘Tripping’ and the sparse, infectiously appropriate closer ‘Inside’.  Butane & Riko Forinson in fine form indeed.

Dylan Griffin and Chad B are well renowned for their collective talents - Dylan’s reputation as a top notch DJ and Chad’s skills behind a mixing desk make up a potent combination. Steve Bug clearly recognises this, and had invited the pair to feature on his Sublease Music imprint - an outlet for deeper sounds. 

'Aperitif' also features, moody, minor chord sounds, adding to a groove that instantly gets under your skin. Dylan and Chad’s skill for creating slinky dancefloor moments is in full bloom here.

Following his beautiful ‘Detroit Sunrise’ EP on the label last year, the inimitable Sascha Dive returns to Bondage Music once again for another deep frequency encounter.

The safe word is bass as Sascha picks up where he left us with two ‘Dub Chronicles’ tracks on the previous release. Now comes the third; a lavish, unhurried exploration ‘Dub Chronicles 3’ lights the fire with hazy, hypnotic charm and a spoken word well known to those familiar with the foundations.

What follows is a trip that grows in intensity and emotions. ‘Cornerstone’ is a beautiful 11pm track; fleet of foot in the kick department and arms aloft in the vibe department. Total elevation. ‘Ancient Tribal Drums’, meanwhile, takes us much deeper into the night. That rolling conga line will tie you up just the way Bondage likes it while the dubby echoes provide sense-tingling relief… Before the finale takes us to even dreamier heights. Living up to its name, ‘It’s A Groove’ brings the elements of the whole EP together; the dubby hypnosis, the warm, driving beats and that unique sense that you’re not quite tied into any reality while Sascha plays. The chronicles continue…
