Melbourne based producer, DJ and co-founder of Sumac Records, Jon Watts delivers his Butter Sessions debut, Music for 3 CDJs. With over 10 years experimenting as an artist, Jon has an established history with the Australian underground scene. Music for 3 CDJs, showcases two contrasting sides, revealing his ability to seamlessly navigate manifold sounds.

The A-side presents three distinct tracks, thread together with restless percussion and a propulsive force. The introduction to the EP, Prohaasation, is a medley of techno and electro fabrics which progressively build before abruptly halting -- generating suspense for the track to follow. The feverish William gasps and screeches in tones that peak and fall, accompanied by audio maintained throughout; reminiscent of a malfunctioning fax machine. Now It’s Done is a choppy and disjointed piece yet coherent in its structure that makes for a rewarding conclusion to the release’s first chapter.

Subtlety and minimalism prevail for side B, as Jon gifts us with loops that swirl and churn. AMB 4 marks the first deviation from the narrative of Side A; sounding like hypnotic swelling from the bottom of a deep well. AMB 5 follows suit, divulging more of the picture. Carved out of a sound bed of field recordings, the nine and a half minute piece enchants with its repetitive arc, a spaciousness mirrored in the EP’s farewell. The last track Piano 1, is an intricate study of a singular piano chord, examining the layers of the chord’s sustain that are disclosed. A testament to Jon’s unadorned restraint and confirmation of the old adage that less is really more.

NYC's Sorry Records has had an epic year with stand-alone releases from Escaflowne, SPACEGH0ST, DJ Wawa, C Powers, Darian, Matt FX, Tony G, and Malik da Freek among others. Not to mention the guest appearances from the likes of Ma Sha Ru, Amal, Drummy, Huey Mnemonic, Ali Berger, Kush Jones, and DJ Swisha. Despite everything going on around them, they’ve continued to smash it each release, beaming through the dust, and now round off 2020 with a bouncy, uplifting deep house record from Scottish NYC-based DJ, producer and saxophonist Panooc. Going full circle on this one, one of the founders of Sorry Records met Panooc on the dancefloor a year ago whilst Fatherhood was DJing and here we are, a year later releasing ‘Softie’ EP featuring a remix from none other than Fatherhood themselves. 

Panooc has been a lifelong devotee to the global queer dance underground, putting out records for the better part of a decade on a diverse selection of labels such as New York house music institutions King Street Sounds and Nite Grooves, dance powerhouse Ultra Records (Sony), and underground DIY platforms such as QRTR’s Wavcave. They’re currently a resident of gender non-comforting, women & allies DJ collective and party XOXA and have played at globally renowned institutions Tresor, Rye Wax, Good Room, and Dalston Superstore.

Slated for release on the 18th December, the lead track ‘Chem Trails’ draws from a jacking, old school sound, destined for peak time dance floor shutter moments. The ever so playful artwork for ‘Softie’ encapsulates the intimate, colourful, and joyous feeling of the EP perfectly.
