Butane C₄H₁₀ Podcast Volume 15

Fresh off the brink of total obscurity, Butane is back in the spotlight with Five Minutes of Fame, a two-track mind-melter for the misfits. A-side “Welcome to the Shitshow" kicks down the door with swagger, a wonky tech roller for those who like their dance cuts like their lives - a little messy.  Flip it over (that's a vinyl reference) and you've got "Last Man Standing,” a hypnotic endurance test for anyone still standing at 6am.  As always, expect surgical grooves, cheeky attitude, and just enough chaos to keep it moving. Welcome to the shitshow.  You’ve got five minutes.. make ‘em count.

Artist Bio:

Mathias Schaffhäuser has been on the techno, house and minimal scene since 1994, when his first EP was released on Definitive Records - and has been known for his wide stylistic range ever since. 
His 10th solo album “Singing About It” was released on October 11, 2024 with, yes, lots of vocals and more song-oriented tracks than on any of his other longplayers. Call it Indie Pop, Art Pop, or, like Angie Portmann, radio maker at “Late Nite Sounds” proposed: Cosmic art pop. And, of course, still with house and techno genes in all tracks.
And the next album is already on the way: Mathias' project FANATICO X, which he runs together with Jorge Socarrás (Indoor Life / Compost Rec., Patrick Cowley und Jorge Socarrás / macro rec.), will release its third LP in the fall 2025. The first single, “Still Searching”, was released in early May. Great feedback came from Justin Strauss: „Listening to it I’m imagining the record that Bryan Ferry and Patrick Cowley never made, but sounding totally modern and now.“ And Dark Entries label maker Josh Cheon wrote: „One of my absolute favorite Indoor Life songs gets a modern reworking that is perfect for any fog-filled dance floor, while Mathias Schaffhäuser's remix ups the tempo and NRG for dark room pursuits.”

2023 marks the 25th anniversary of the founding of his label WARE Records. To celebrate this incredible number, the EP “25 Years Of Ware” was released in June with 4 new tracks by the label maker. In November 23, another special EP was released with a vocal version of one of Mathias' classics, the song “6 Uhr morgens”, which first appeared on his debut album “Lido Hotel” on Force Tracks Records in 1999. The new version comes in several mixes and with an atmospheric remix by Pawas. The EP is Schaffhäuser's second release on the Canadian label Suleiman Records.

His 9th solo album “Biotopical” was released in 2022. It combines tracks released on Biotop Records between 2015 and 2020 as an “endless mix”, similar to what Schaffhäuser did on his third album “From 4 to 6 a.m.” on Blaou Sounds in 2002 - again with subtle creative changes, transitions and overdubs. Two EPs were also released in 2022, one by Mathias' project FANATICO X called “On The Brink, Vol. 2” with remixes by Indoor Man, Chocolate Garage Prod., Ryan Crosson and Made From Shadows. And the solo EP “Magnificent Madness”, his debut on Suleiman Records.

Back in the days:
Other releases from Mathias have appeared on Compost, Tic Tac Toe Rec., Kompakt, Force Inc., Mo's Ferry Productions, Multicolor, BluFin Records, Adjunct, WIR Recordings, Blaou Sounds and many others. In 1997 he started WARE, releasing 102 EPs until today. His album „Lido Hotel“ with the well known track „Nice To Meet You“, released in 2000, marked his breakthrough in the techno scene. 2001 saw his massive club hit „Hey Little Girl“, and in 2002 „Musik ohne Bass“ permeated the clubs. In April 2005 he released his album „Coincidance“, its title track successfully remixed by Trentemøller. On his album „Unequal Equality“ (2009) Mathias collaborated with Lucy, Alex Smoke, Xhin, And.id, Benjamin Brunn and many others. He also produced remixes for Steve Bug (LoverBoy), Luomo (Tessio), Pan-Pot, German Kraut Rock legend Faust, [A]pendics.Shuffle, Goldfrapp, Indoor Life, Northern Lite, Dapayk & Padberg – to name a few.

As DJ, Schaffhäuser’s motto at the turntables is: “Purism sucks!” The quality of the music is what’s important, not sheer functionality and trendiness. His sets are usually very varied and range from his very own composition style to underground house to fancy niche techno. More and more Mathias uses his microphone while DJing and sings to his tracks, creating a very special live experience (https://soundcloud.com/mathias-schaffhauser/sets/mixes).

Some Feedbacks to Mathias current album 'Singing About It':

- Thomas Meinecke (book author, musician with F.S.K., radio DJ...)
I'm impressed by the production and the dedicated crooning! Almost a reinvention!
- Michael Reinboth (Compost): 
I think it's good, some good tracks on there.
- Hans Nieswandt: 
I also really like what you've put there.
- DJ Three (Hallucienda Rec.):
All sounding very great!
- Patrick Wagner (Gewalt_Band):
I think “Singing about it” is great. I like the ghostly Bowie-like “I Fall With You” best.
- Zuckermann (Lebensfreude Records):
Wonderful album. Great songwriting. Super vocals.

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.
