Naarm (Melbourne) based collective Butter Sessions celebrate over a decade in business with an extensive glossary of talented friends and affiliates pressed on a three-part compilation series. The label has always held the community closest, as exemplified by the 20+ artists featured over the three releases. Each 12” presents a grand soundscape anchored into the tenebrous energy of the dancefloor, with its inquisitive electronics and fierce pulse. If there was a definition for the Butter Sessions sound of ten years in the making, the answer lies here.

The first installment opens with To Be Continued, an erratic composition from Aotearoa’s Vanessa Worm, charged with robotic bass and incessant hi-hats. Perth's upper shelf producers Guy Contact and Ewan Jansen respectively insert their own flavour with Kickflip Bouquet, a mid-tempo trance tinged number, and Back to Blood, a distorted percolating experiment. Meanwhile, Barcelona based Ivy Barkakati contributes Descarga; a gnawing improvisation piece. Sleep D offers up a brooding atmospheric piece of techno with 041111, whilst Japan’s Haruka follows suit with the elastic Ishinoko. Albrecht La'Brooy drifts into more tranquil terrain with the flickering Butter Soft before Low Flung & DJ Mind Leaf & The Herbalist wrap up volume one with the dub-induced Take Out.

Disc 1 - 10 Years of Butter Sessions

The glimmer in our eyes gallops as a wild stallion toward infinity,
and in a screaming silence, wears the cape of innocent understanding.
Our love is grave danger, which doesn't shy away from its fate.
There is nothing to be afraid of tonight.
Love is the bastard child of the Heavens and the pits of Hell, it encompasses the entirety of human suffering.
what if we isolate it to a singular moment?
Quick and wonderful moments, without trying to hold on to it and wanting it to stay forever?

Between the concrete to the woods to the sea
We will be quiet until we understand
That this, this is momentary and unfathomable
We will take this in, with a deep breath
Until we plunge in and scatter
For out of particles wast thou taken
and unto particles shalt thou return
Walking the line drawn exactly between chaos
and symbiotic harmony.

Planar Traits - Exo-Realm

Maybe it needed a move to finally step into the limelight. Maybe it needed the width, ironically speaking, of a Stockholm apartment to finish his first EP. Callum Nixon, better known under his artist alias Planar Traits, 'escaped' from his ordinary life in Glasgow and moved to the Swedish capital where he finalized the upcoming Portal Vision EP on Magic Carpet – the artist's first full release and with all honesty speaking, it's a game changer and not only for the artist himself. Shortly before it's out, Torture the Artist caught up with the Callum Nixon to speak about the release, his studio routines, differences between the scenes in his old Scottish home and his Stockholm residence, his insecurities when it comes to own music, pressure he puts on himself, how his artist moniker Planar Traits came about and his early days respectively his teenage years in music. Additionally, you can listen to Callum's favorite track from the EP, Exo-Realm.

Modular beats, a rhythmic refrain...

Premiere | Pletnev - And You Never Come Back (RMECR001)

Was he awake or asleep? It was hard to tell. Though objects seemed tangible, he felt as if he were floating above, detached from his body - simply a passenger in his own life. These instances had become more and more frequent, his inability to distinguish reality now consumed his every thought, maybe the two were never discernible in the first place... He'd been backed into a never-ending state of confusion - the question remained: had he lost his mind or his body?

Elroi and Ori Raz are the team behind a brand spanking new label on the scene, Liquid Memory Records. Operating out of Berlin, the vinyl-only imprint springs into life with a Various Artists release featuring music from the co-owners, both solo and together under the guise of Serenity Now. Each side harnesses a different energy: the A-side is a slab of pumping progressive house and acid-soaked breakbeats, while on the flip their joint efforts produce two blissed-out, twinkling dream house cuts to drift away to. Perfectly primed for late nights and early mornings, the record sets a precedent for what we can expect from the label and its co-founders in the future.

Fantastic Man - I Love You Baby (Love On The Rocks)

Release Date: 27th March 2020

Nathan Micay is elated to present the third reissue on Eternal Schvitz: Earthlink - Spectral EP. Originally released on cult Australian label Thunk Recordings in 1996, Spectral was a milestone release for the Syndey scene, garnering international acclaim among tastemakers of the time such as John Digweed. The EP was written by label cofounders Brett Mitchell (of Boxcar) and noted international DJ Phil Smart. It remains  electrifying today. Four tracks of genre-hopping hybrids, sonic gymnastics and stupidly fed back guitars. Lovingly remastered and restored on vinyl. 

As always, Schvitz gives back. To fight the evil no-ID-DJ forces currently at work, every Eternal Schvitz release will be providing 60% of the cut to the artists and ensuring their credits are front and centre. The remaining 40% of profits will go to aequa, a Berlin-based collective with a focus on empowerment of women, trans and non- binary folks through gatherings for interpersonal exchange. Schvitz is Love. Schvitz is Communal.
