Martin Buttrich is famously as fluent behind a mixing console as in front of a virtual drum kit. That technical prowess, combined with a fascination for music of every shape, has resulted in outstanding releases on influential labels such as Planet E, Four:Twenty, Cocoon, Poker Flat, Nervous and Desolat. He’s also put his sonic thumbprint on many big ticket artists, notably receiving a Grammy nomination for a Tori Amos remix in 2003. Such diverse musical horizons are rare. While other prolific artists may have slowly watered down their music, Buttrich’s star has risen in diametric opposition. His vision has become more and more condensed, more and more crystallised. Flipping and puncturing grooves in a live setting is a snap for him, and he’s entranced audiences at festivals like Time Warp and Creamfields, at temples of boom such as Fabric (London), Womb (Tokyo), Cocoon (Frankfurt), Panorama Bar (Berlin) and Amnesia (Ibiza) and at worldwide Desolat Experience parties with Loco Dice.

Buttrich’s journey into electronic music began in clubs in Berlin and Hannover at the dawn of the ‘90s, when post-Summer of Love-Europe began to swing to its own hypnotic, machine-like groove. At 18 years old he began experimenting with production as X-Rotation (with Daniel Bross), which led to the projects Rhythm Assault, Sounds of Life and Phunk Diggazs (with engineer Andy Bolleshon).

Buttrich began a notorious collaboration with his then co-worker at Peppermint Jam distribution, Timo Maas, in the mid-‘90s (they worked the telephones together). After setting up his first studio in the basement of the Peppermint Park studio building, the partnership led to over 100 co-productions and remixes that included Madonna, Muse, Fatboy Slim. Josh Wink and Green Velvet. Buttrich has produced funk legend Bootsy Collins, while switching the patterns for artists including Tom Jones, Kelis, Moloko, Depeche Mode, Placebo, Yello, War and Roger Sanchez. His Azzido Da Bass “Dooms Night” remix with Timo Maas hit the UK top ten charts.
 
All the while he created an impressive library of beats and collected an arsenal of music production equipment for his studio in Timetools, a studio complex founded in 1997 in Hannover with a group of musicians. Buttrich is happy with the subtle crunch of an SP-12 sampler and the ‘smoky’ vibe of his analog mixing desk – adding a bass guitar or other instrument when necessary. But he’s not above having fun with a laptop either: approaching music programs as if they were video games. He doesn’t rely on any one machine or music composition technique, and his array of outboard gear is mouth-wateringly state of the art.
But he never loses touch with the gritty, human side of music, and the environments that it is played in.

Another key musical partnership, with Loco Dice, begun in 2002, undoubtedly inspired Buttrich to delve deeper into the musical histories that first lured him towards after-dark melodies. In a short space of time they’d built up a deep discography creating an era-defining sound in the process. They spent more than half a year living in New York in 2006/2007, with half of Buttrich’s studio set up in a rickety hideaway in Brooklyn that looked out over Manhattan’s vistas. Between late night production sessions and snowstorms, their Desolat label came to life.

Having his debut solo album Crash Test released on Desolat in early 2010, Martin Buttrich is taking his vision to the road, fusing wild imagination with solid musical architecture, cherry-picked inspiration with true perfection of his musical craft. 

Since then constantly on tour, in 2011 Martin Buttrich still has dropped a remarkable collection of music - productions like “Fire Files” EP on Desolat or remixes for Marco Carola and Lee Curtis amongst others.

Currently based in LA, Martin Buttrich is working on his second artist album and a jazz project called The Stoned Autopilot.

Stay tuned.

MANAGEMENT

With a decorated past and an extensive list of achievements, Tim Green has maintained a high level of accomplishments since the mid-2000s. An artist who is deeply dedicated to expressing his truest sound, Tim’s depth of experience, innate musicality, and hard work lie at the heart of his formidable
success. In recent years, his affiliation with the All Day I Dream family, including close ally Sébastien Léger, and embracing the melodic sound, has triggered an unparalleled period of creativity and self-satisfaction. The success he has experienced throughout his career hasn’t been without its ups and downs, but, like any journey worth taking, the path to glory and inner happiness was meant to be that way. Through his high work ethic and natural-born talent, Tim Green has reached new levels of creative maturity and freedom… with so much more to come.
Tim’s musical ability is inherent, it’s in his DNA. His father is a keyboard player and he started taking guitar lessons at the age of eight, so it’s always been there. Growing up in a musical household, surrounded by a variety of sounds and influences, imbued Tim’s mind with a broad range of inspiration. His love affair with electronic music began with Daft Punk’s classic Discovery LP, which sparked a shift from live music in bands to DJing and studio production. Since his first release in 2006, Tim has utilised his skills to cultivate a diverse discography, from techno with labels like Cocoon, where he was a mainstay, to dancefloor-ready house for Dirtybird. Along the way, he’s
released an album Her Future Ghost (Cocoon), produced an impressive and diverse set of remixes for the likes of Underworld, Paul McCartney, Ben Bohmer, Friendly Fires, Eelke Kleijn, Perry Farrel, Sébastien Léger, Cassius, Seth Troxler and Lee Burridge, and written alternative pop material under
his alias Invisible Minds.
Amid all the success, Tim has been working towards uncovering his true sound. Occasional feelings of discontent sparked a desire to experiment. In 2016 came a key release on Get Weird, entitled ‘For A Memory’. The track, 11 minutes of deep, exquisitely produced melodic house, helped lay the
groundwork for what has become Tim’s signature sound - with depth, emotion, and musicality at the heart of his creativity. Along with his 2018 album Her Future Ghost, ‘For A Memory’ was pivotal to his progression into the Tim Green of today. These releases were part of his continual push to find a sound that he was comfortable with, and the catalyst behind his gradual shift into the melodic domain.
Through exploring this emotive sound, finding his groove, and entering a place of comfort with his creativity, Tim has found the freedom that so many artists yearn for.
A longstanding friendship with Lee Burridge (who supported Tim’s music in his sets, right from his first-ever release in 2006), also played a part in Tim’s development. His musicality has always been there, from his genetic makeup to playing in bands, to his diverse back catalogue. Building upon the
foundations laid down by ‘For A Memory’, in 2018 Tim found himself in the studio creating brand new tracks that simply gave him a good feeling, no agenda, just free flowing uplifting jams. He sent them to Lee, who instantly approved, and so began his connection with All Day I Dream. In March 2020 he dropped his first release on ADID, the seminal Vacation To Life. This was followed by the Moho EP with Sébastien Léger, which helped to further establish Tim’s prowess.
Since 2020, he has released another two EPs with All Day I Dream - The Moss and The Night Is Blue, plus an album, Eastbound Silhouette. His global touring schedule continues to be packed, taking him from the US to South America, across Asia and Europe, and back again. At every stop off he
encounters crowds who are open to his sound, driven by love, connection, and living life to the fullest.
When he’s at home being a family man, or spending time in the studio, that good energy continues to emanate cultivating a sense of comfort and inner contentment.
Almost 20 years since he first made a name for himself, Tim Green is busier than ever, touring the world and entering the most creatively enriching and fertile period of his career. He’s brimming with positivity, from the tunes he makes, to what he plays, and the response from the people on the dance
floor. The emotive, uplifting nature of his tracks has a deep resonance with those who experience it, leading to a constant flow of positive feedback. A dream for Tim, who’s fully enjoying the ride, and it shows in the music and his demeanour when he is performing. It’s become a positive feedback loop, where the energy he receives feeds into the music he produces, evoking more positivity on the dancefloor, which radiates back to him, and on it goes.
Maintaining a full-time music career is complicated, there’s no blueprint for success and inner peace.
Fortunately, Tim Green put the work in, kept striving, and discovered his authentic truth. Now driven by the powerful impact of his positive feedback loop, he is relishing the chance to express his musicality for himself, and melodic house lovers all over the world. All the while, he remains humble and full of gratitude for the gift of music…

Valentin Toma is Toma Carnagiu.
He's alive since 1981, and in love with music eversince. In all this time, he tasted bits of every musical genre that reached his ears, from rock'n'roll to death metal, but the idea of sound design discovered with the electronic music is the one that left a mark. His first musical experiments are dated in 1996, and thanks to Saint Common Sense, were left private: only after 3 years he published a few songs under the moniker Qewza (pronounced as Cuza). This happened right after setting the foundation for the TMBase organization alongside UFO & Ummo, Urban Experience, Dump 52, P-Nal, Sneila and Alien Kru - basically, the full lot of electronic music producers in Timişoara back then. He's put effort into organizng the TMBase festival since 2000 - the 3rd edition - when he also had his first live gig (more or less white, for those who remember). At the beginning of 2001, he started a new project called Makunouchi Bento with his old time friend Felix Petrescu aka Waka X, a member of Urban Experience at that time - a project based on IDM and experimental electronic music. With his solo act, he only released a few songs on local compilations, while most of the tracks remained unreleased or only heard during live shows. Around 2003, after exploring most of electronic music's subgenres, from happy hardcore and techno to drum'n'bass and breakbeat, he put and end to his solo "career" as a producer, and focused exclusively on Makunouchi Bento, changing the sound towards a more organic, electroacoustic and cinematic one. And they were serious about it, having released no less than 3 albums, 18 EPs, 11 singles and may other compilation tracks. Also, having lots of live gigs in Romania and abroad, live film rescoring and so on. Qewza is probably remembered by music lovers especially for his "Unu mai" (1st of May) mix series (2 in 2006, 2 in 2007, 3 in 2008), putting together hundreds of Romanian songs of all genres, from electronic to hip-hop, jazz, rock and folklore. And, because this project was worth to be continued, in 2012, Qewza is reborn as Toma Carnagiu (a local pun) to release a new series of mixes on Romania's National Day. No nationalist connotations intended, just a load of humor. On top of that, he plans to promote Romanian music and a general open mindness towards different music genres, through a series of monthly mini-mixes... plus a lot of other surprises.
