Ross Kiser steps up for Sublease Music with two new down-and-dirty tracks that reflect the maturing of his sound over the last few years. 

The US-based artist set out to make a darker, minimal EP highlighting synth work and textures to create groove and atmosphere, and succeeded completely.  

Catacombs is a deep and dark rolling joint that foregrounds intricate synths and sounds over drums and percussion. As Ross explains, “I wanted to create a sense of tension and release that not only worked in a groovy sense but also for the dancefloor. I chose and created sounds that in my ears had power and depth, and I’m super happy with the end result.” 

Next up is Differently which uses a similar sound palette but with a slightly more house-y result. Again Ross breaks down his thinking; “It has a slightly housier (deep) and groovier feel to it, featuring a more melodic bassline that is meant to get you moving. I love playing with vocals and so when I found the “hook” or the simple yet elegant “Differently” vocal stab, it immediately worked and sat nice in the mix”. 

Nürnberg based Markus Homm rounds off the EP with a stripped down and even deeper remix of Catacombs.

Montreal based DJ and producer Ostrich debuts on Sublease Music with a double a-side release. Ostrich has already carved a path as a DJ and producer, pushing a minimalistic sound that pulls from downtempo, dub, deep house and techno.

Double Dribble, the title track provides an infectious bassline and airy pads floating on a super tight rhyhtm-section.

In contrast, his second track, Too Dumb To Succumb The Drum focusses on a driving multi layered drum pattern with a wobbling bass and synthie stabs winding their way through, before turning into a futuristic deep house cut.

London based James Dexter returns to Sublease for a stellar remix of Double Dribble. Synth-melodies and housey pads ride on a seriously heavy punching beat setting.

Gareth Cole makes his debut on the label with a powerful three-tracker. The UK based artist broke onto the scene in late 2022 and quickly piqued the interest of German House pioneer, Steve Bug, who signed his second EP 'Signal'. Using Sublease Music as a homebase, Gareth has now signed to a number of influential imprints including Keep Thinking and Orhal. With musical influences ranging from Sasha to Larent Garnier via Dubfire and Ben Klock, his warm, hypnotic sound is sure to appeal to a wide range of DJs. Opening with 'Connection' Gareth's deep affinity with the deeper side of house is easy to see. Warm and vibey, the track develops an almost progressive feel as washes and stabs sweep over you like a cool breeze as stare out at the sea. 'Departure' explores that crossover territory more deeply. Aquatic and icy, the dubby feel juxtaposes its warm and inviting energy. Finally, 'Hypnodub' draws everything together. Snappy percussion melodic keys keep the tempo up and the track builds energy. Simple but incredibly effective, the Gareth Cole sound is about to destroy a dancefloor near you very soon!

Extrasketch is back with a bang. Butane and Riko Forinson combine forces once again on ‘You Make Me’, adding yet another stand-out EP to their impressive catalog.  

Dating back to 2019 with their first collaborative release, Extrasketch 014, the duo has certainly come a long way, making appearances together on eighteen further EPs on the imprint. Extrasketch boss Butane and his trusty production partner Riko Forinson continue to serve up their highly creative take on underground-focused dance music, spanning the breadth of deep house, techno and beyond. Delivering their first tracks together of the year, late March welcomes a trio of fresh house offerings as they link up once again on ‘You Make Me’.

Dubby and heady, yet driving and hypnotic, title cut ‘You Make Me’ is straight-up, no-nonsense house business made for the floor, with the track’s provocative female vocals ebbing and flowing in the mix. Imploring party-goers to 'Stick Around', the next cut veers towards more sun-drenched shuffling spheres, with skippy drums and shimmering lead melodies. ‘What I Need’ brings a timeless and classy balance of warped synth lines and soulful vocals to close the show.  

Butane & Riko Forinson ‘You Make Me’ drops via Extrasketch on 29th March 2024.

Growing up in the midwestern United States, Butane was steeped in the classic underground house and techno sounds that originated in Chicago and Detroit. Further influences came from afar: New York house, west coast house, UK tech house, Cologne techno, Berlin minimal.  His formative years were spent on the dancefloors of legendary venues like Twilo and Vinyl in New York City, Space and Crobar during Miami's Winter Music Conference, and Rednofive in Chicago.

An avid record collector and DJ since 2002, Andrew’s infamous monthly party in St. Louis established an underground scene in the city and became a must-stop for touring international artists.  In 2004, Andrew embarked on his own artistic journey in the studio, despite lacking any formal musical training (a classically trained pianist he was not).  Proving to be a fast learner, his unique and eclectic sound began earning him worldwide acclaim on international record labels in a mere matter of months.  The German press dubbed him a “wunderkind”.  He moved to Berlin shortly after, residing in the city from 2006-2011.  

Now a resident of San Francisco, Butane is renowned for a steadfast commitment to his craft, and stands as a pillar of artistic integrity and consistency in the rapidly changing realm of electronic dance music.  He values studio work over social media, and boasts an impressive and sprawling discography released by some of the most respected imprints in the business.  As the founder of three labels of his own - Alphahouse, Little Helpers, and his new Extrasketch project - Butane's impact on the industry is both deep and enduring.

For over two decades, Andrew has traversed the globe curating unforgettable sonic experiences.  From underground raves to name-brand clubs, electrifying festival stages to poolside soirées, he has graced the decks in over 60 countries.  Infused with energy, finesse, and sophistication, his sets resonate deeply with in-the-know audiences.  Armed with a meticulously curated collection of custom edits, remastered classics, and hidden gems from decades in the house and techno business, Butane draws on his considerable experience moving crowds to deliver versatile, unpredictable, pitch-perfect performances.
