BUTANE DJ SETS

This a 10-part studio mix series.. house, techno, deep, dancefloor, etc.  Each mix stands alone, but maybe some macro trends about my taste in deep house and techno will reveal themselves to the astute listener.

BUTANE @ VOODOO LA - August 10, 2013

Voices We've Lost

Butane - Voices We've Lost [Extrasketch 033]

Regular collaborators Andrew Rasse, aka Butane, and Italian DJ/producer Riko Forinson’s ongoing catalog of work continues to build, as the pair shape a deep well of quality productions across the house and techno spectrum. After a recent span of releases via Tenampa Recordings, Fuse Records, Little Helpers, and Bar 25 Music, the duo return home to Rasse’s Extrasketch imprint and reveal their ‘Mind Music’ EP to close March.

‘Hunting The Music Of The Mind’ opens the EP with a combination of signature tripped-out vocals, spiralling synths and rich natural drum licks, offering up a hazy slice of the deepest house music. ‘In The Desert’ veers into lighter, brighter, organic territories, fusing an airy Rhodes-style melody with rolling percussion and hypnotic-yet-familiar vocal work to close the show.

Butane and Riko Forinson’s rich stream of quality collaborations continues to build as the Extrasketch boss and talented Italian continue to build one of the most prolific studio partnerships in electronic music. Flexing their production prowess and showcasing their diverse range once again, the duo delve deep into the late-night hours as they combine across four expansive productions for their latest EP, ‘Light Out’. 

Title cut ‘Lights Out’ welcomes a winding journey through dubby textures and smoky atmospheres, carrying late-night dancers in unison with its rolling groove. ‘Anagram’ ups the energy as subtle synth interjections meet crisp drum licks and echoing vocals, while ‘City Nights’ sees light and darkness meet effortlessly, capturing sonics and soundscapes from across a hazy metropolis. To close, the deep-diving ‘Stalker’ continues to transcend to further depths as delicate pockets of space ebb and flow amongst shadowy pads and further swirling chord work.

Butane returns to home base Extrasketch with a twisted 3-tracker for the late night hours.  Opener Finely Tuned delivers a true minimal techno percussive workout.  Filthy is a cheeky after hours homage to the early 2000's.  And Under No Illusions appears courtesy of Alphahouse Records with a shiny new mix.  Filbert Street flex.  Stay weird.

C₄H₁₀ Podcast Volume 03 is here!  Prepare for a nostalgic trip down memory lane.  There's a bunch of old vinyl classics here, so this will not be available for download.. (sorry, I can't have unscrupulous new jacks cutting out shady edits).  Soundcloud only streams at 128k, but I took considerable care in the studio remastering most of these old gems for your listening pleasure.  Enjoy!

Butane - Social Distancing (Volume 1)

Two artists with an innate ability in the studio, San Francisco-based DJ, producer and label owner Andrew Rasse, aka Butane, and Italian talent Riko Forinson have remained ever-present fixtures within the worlds of house and techno over the past few years. Increasingly, a regular feature of the duos output now lies in their excellent collaborations together. Following a string of releases together via a host of top-tier international imprints, the pair now makes a welcome return to Rasse’s burgeoning Extrasketch imprint in mid-June. Maybe their most polished work to date, here the pair unleashes two new fresh cuts showcasing a new side to their ever-developing sound.

With pristine drum programming and synth work to go with enchanting female vocals, both cuts deliver a slow-burning deep house sound for the summer. Opening cut ‘Sorry’ pairs a steady, classic, driving groove with floating atmospherics, while ‘Everything’ puts out a more soulful, sleazy, modern vibe. Fully realized, sonic, and mature, these vocal-led cuts are sure to get plays from peak-time, after-hours, and bedroom DJs alike. Another notch in the belt for one of the most consistent duos in underground dance music.

Sorry For Everything

Butane & Riko Forinson - Everything [Extrasketch 018]

Get it here: https://linktr.ee/butane

Fresh off their first installment released via Extrasketch in mid-September, ‘In Concert Volume Two' sees label head Andrew Rasse, aka Butane, and Italian DJ and producer Riko Forinson continue their thriving studio partnership as they unveil the second EP in the series to open October. 

The slow-blooming and entrancing ‘Fuzzy’ opens the package as the two studio talents go to work combining rolling organic drum rhythms and groove-heavy sub-bass, to offer up a hazy yet driving opener.  'Morning Sun’ ups the energy with warping vocal chants and calls alongside a punchy kick and rubbery synths, reminiscent of a long-lost morning in the Ibiza sunshine. To close, Rasse and Forinson strip things back down on 'Feel', fusing a slick medley of dubby pads, further refined percussion arrangements and hypnotic vocals throughout the final cut – propelling the series in typically impressive fashion.

Butane & Riko Forinson - Fuzzy [Extrasketch 022]

One of the most consistent and dependable collaborative duos on the current house and techno circuit, Andrew Rasse, aka Butane, and Riko Forinson’s studio work continues to go from strength to strength, with the thriving partnership continually showcasing productions from across the breadth of the electronic sphere. Originally planned as a two-part mini-album on the label, the duos ‘In Concert’ project now looks set to feature as an ongoing collaborative series on Rasse’s Extrasketch imprint featuring their deeper, more musical work.  Here the pair unveils the third installment in the series, delivering three fresh productions to close October.

Opening cut ‘Going Home’ is an exemplary showcase of the duo's interwoven styles and signature elements, delivering a woozy, slow-blooming house production guided by hypnotic vocal hooks, resonating stabs and rich synth melodies.  ‘Weird Romance’ leans towards brighter, prettier territory as dreamy lead lines float atop of refined percussion arrangements and sweeping atmospherics. The impressive ‘You Got Me’ – a slick vocal-led number with an arpeggiated synth bubbling under throughout -punctuates the release in style.
