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.

Victor’s Mob. came to this world through a parachute jump. Even more strangely, he was caught a meter off the ground by his grandfather, who was a pirate. Brought up in a pirate crew, Victor’s Mob. is a rebel against social norms and dogmas. He is a wavemaker producing high-end sounds and music in his sophisticated analog synthesiser studio. He is a vinyl DJ and live act performer. His style is a flash from Space. Victor’s Mob. says,”I come from Space. I am here to spread new sounds and vibrations. People feel it and that’s why they love me.”
His planetary journey started in Bulgaria, Sofia. A very controversial place on Earth. In the early 90’s, still in his teen years, he found out about the power of music. He launched Dve Kupeta formation for experimental dark ambient. These new sounds were immediately embraced by the audience and the band got many prizes even though its life span was short. Soon, he started a new electro acoustic band called A Band of Mad Women, which was equally accoladed. His following down tempo, ambient, IDM Vataff project got world recognition and he traveled to many countries in Europe, Asia and Africa to play the redeeming music. Vataff project is his love affair with conceptually new sounds and it is an ongoing project together with Dynamic Transition. DT project is an expansion into the invisible, spiritual realm echoing the ancient mantra meditation practices. Having successfully moved through different musical genres, in this number theatre and film music composing, Victor’s Mob eventually fell in love with Techno Music and more particularly Techno House. He founded his own Port One label. It’s the cream of his long musical journey. It’s a projection of his sophisticated and unmistakable music taste. The underpinning factor is his studio. A collection of analog synthesisers, effect processors and various software with distinguished vintage sound. And it is all about love.

      Passionate about music and dance, in the '80s and the '90s, he choose to be the one that illustrates all the sounds heard during the 
"electro-classical" period - a break-dancer, and an amateur DJ, taking into account the existing technique at that time.
      In time he passed from the break dance moves at a more abstract and eclectic dance. This is how he got to dance in a contemporary dance company on the scene of the Odeon Theater in Bucharest.
      For 5 years he transpose the word in movement,  using abstract and repetitive gestures to the music of composers artists such as: 
Michael Nyman, Ravi Shankar, Dead Can Dance, Hans Zimmer, Loreen McKennitt, Chopin, Philip Glass, Schumann, Mozart, Jethro Tull, Klaus Schulze, Kraftwerk, during which he also accumulated a vast and varied culture.
      In parallel with the theater activity, the permanent need of artistic expression made him return to his old passion - being a DJ. This time the more complex technique allows him to mix, in a way that can sometimes be hard to understand; everything he knows has been inspired from classical and modern music.
      An important step in developing and defining him as a club DJ has been working with Space Club, by being a resident DJ in 2001 and 2002.
Here he had the opportunity to mix with important DJs from the global electronic music scene.There followed a series of parties in the most important clubs in Bucharest and across the country.
      In 2005 he made his first steps in music production. In the same time he develops the “CROMOZOMI” project together with Miss DJ Mara.
      Both the remixes for various artists and the personal productions are found in releases of labels like: Microtech Records / Dot One Records / LOK Records / Animation Records / Baile Music.
      All these productions were in the play-lists of DJs such as Loco Dice, Reboot, Tini, Davide Squillace, Someone Else, Pirupa, DJ Sneak, Marco Carola, Laurent Garnier, Monoroom, George G by Monochrome, Bobby Deep, Neuroxyde, Francesco Bonora, Dany Casarano, Guido Nemola, Manu - L, and Jose Maria Ramon.
      He is a declared fan of vinyl’s but also a fan of the cd’s.
      Starting from the premise that nothing is new, everything repeats itself, he seeks to combine sounds in a sampler's own version of the 
classical, modern and traditional music.
     The live sets are a true journey in music where you can find both present pieces but also a lot of old school pieces, songs that were defining in time for the development of electronic dance music.
      Therefore he expects an open public eager to experience with the artist.
