Butane and Riko Forinson present Signal-to-Noise, a hypnotic and cerebral three-track EP that explores the tension between clarity and chaos in the digital age. Fusing deep, driving grooves with intricate sound design, the duo crafts a sonic landscape where mysticism collides with modernity.

From the seductive tribal pulse of Black Magic to the dystopian echoes of Digital Wasteland, and the haunting futurism of Ghost in the Machine, Signal-to-Noise is a journey through the shadows of technology and perception—built for dancefloors, but engineered for your mind.

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.

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

--bio--
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, Andrew 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 his new Extrasketch project - Butane's impact on the industry is both deep and enduring.

For over two decades, Andrew has traversed the globe curating unforgettable sonic experiences.  From underground raves to name-brand clubs, electrifying festival stages to poolside soirées, he has graced the decks in over 60 countries.  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.
