Continuing his unwavering quest of producing highest-quality underground dance music, it’s safe to say that Butane, with his current trilogy of club-focused releases, will be in the rotation for many top DJs across the end of 2023 and beyond. Having dropped the first EP in the three-part series in early September, and garnering support from the likes of Laurent Garnier, Jamie Jones, Marco Carola, Radio Slave, and Stacey Pullen, the Extrasketch boss returns with part two as he delivers five fresh cuts bracing for dancefloor impact across all hours of the night.

Opener ‘Rockstar’ is a tough, trippy ride as provocative vocals are held together by tight percussion grooves and a simple yet infectious bassline. Next, ‘Stubborn (Filbert Street Mix)’ takes over as wicked evolving acid-laced bass patterns work alongside echoed vox snippets and crispy drums. ‘Nostalgia’ comes next and marches forth as a chunky slice of pure analogue grit. The aptly titled ‘Rave Juice’ follows, concocting a moody brew of menacing lows, swirling synths, and laser-precise percussion. Closing out the package, Rasse leaves us with the brooding and brazen sonics of the raw and ominous ‘Sleaze’.

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.
