International DJ. Electronic Musician. 
Mix/Master Engineer. Founder: Little Helpers, Alphahouse, Extrasketch.

For over 25 years, Butane has been a fixture of the global underground dance music scene, traveling millions of miles to soundtrack the world’s most influential dancefloors. His passport reads like a clubbing history book: Panorama Bar Berlin, Fabric London, Rex Paris, Fuse Brussels, Output NYC, ToyToy Johannesburg, Flash DC, Tresor Berlin, Blues Quito, SASH Sydney, Glow Bangkok, Asylum Honolulu, Arma 17 Moscow, Weetamix Geneva, Killer Robot Cape Town, Pacha Barcelona, Cityfox Zurich, Revolver Melbourne, Brooklyn Mirage NYC, Treehouse Miami, Cielo NYC, Unit Tokyo, Lost Beach Ecuador, Paradiso Amsterdam, BaBa Beach Club Phuket, Papaya Playa Project Tulum, Hardpop Juarez, Weekend Club Berlin, The End Up San Francisco, Watergate Berlin , Smartbar Chicago, BPM Playa del Carmen, Bar 25 Berlin, ADE Amsterdam, Movement Detroit, Winter Music Conference Miami, The Berlin Love Parade, La Tribu Lima, and many many more. If there’s been a tastemaking club or festival shaping underground dance culture in the past two decades, chances are Butane has played it.

In addition to touring as a solo artist, he has taken his branded label nights across the globe - from his Alphahouse showcases at BPM Festival to countless Little Helpers events throughout North America, Australia, and Europe - further cementing his reputation as both a curator and performer.  

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, he 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 Extrasketch - Butane's impact on the industry is both deep and enduring.

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.
