A1. Glory Night
A2. Glory Night Tool
B1. Just Chill
B2. Just Fly

Info:

Butch’s unmistakable music has always worn the influence of disco proudly on its sleeve. Both his mega-hit No Worries and his first contribution to the Running Back catalogue, Desire, are essentially modern-day disco records. The same goes for his return to the label with Glory Night—perhaps even more so, thanks to its vintage engineering and authentic aural treatment. Equipped with the genre’s signature sounds and arranged like a lost disco edit from the late ’70s, Butch applies the lotions and potions that today’s dancers demand, creating one of those peak-time sensations that make him unique—complete with confetti, a firecracker breakdown on top, and an extra rhythm section bonus tool included. Just Chill and Just Fly continue that narrative. While the first appeals to fans of R&B or funk samples (though no recordings were harmed in the process), it is catchy as hell and creates an inescapable maelstrom. The second, meanwhile, draws on the principles of deep house and exercises itself in contemplation. Be that as it may, here are a couple of tracks that work on almost any floor and at any time. Or, to quote Giorgio Moroder: “Disco is music for dancing, and people will always want to dance.”

The 150th (!) Anniversary Release on Cocoon!

Tracklist: 1. (A1) Countach (Original Mix) 2. (B1) Countach (Kölsch Remix)

here's a big reason to celebrate, as we face the 150th release on Cocoon Recordings! That's right, 150 prime cuts with a number of milestones. It's hard to single out any one for particular praise but even so, we still have something very special planned for the anniversary. With a certain affection, we wanted to present an artist from the region so it's with great pleasure that we can unveil "Countach" from the one and only Butch, as a more than worthy anniversary release. The native Mainzer and sometime Berliner is without doubt one of the most dazzling German Tech-House artists of the moment. His performances contain a full dose of funkiness and his self-made promo videos never fail to entertain, providing a lot of fun in the process. First and foremost though, Butch is an exceptional producer, who, as one of the chosen few, knows how to mix together those special ingredients that drag us onto the dance floor again and again. What's more, since we really have something to celebrate, we don't just have an original from Butch, it's accompanied by a remix from none other than Kölsch!

If the term "man of the moment" applies to any artist then it's got to be Kölsch! At least that's true when it comes to hypnotic techno with a subtle yet seductive touch of trance. Kölsch is currently operating on another level. Whatever he touches turns to gold, turns moments on the dance floor into unforgettable experiences to be written down in the annals of techno.
His Kompakt release "Cassiopeia", as well as his remixes including the Chemical Brothers, stand out as musical testimonies of the past two years. The series of musical landmarks from the house of Kölsch is endless and his remix of Butch's "Countach" is no exception!

With poise and purpose like the Lamborghini of the same name, Kölsch takes us on an epic journey with his remix here, but as things progress he still has the foresight to jams on the brakes, keeping the dance floor honest by slowing things down to cruise control for the middle of his ride. What a trip, a true adventure, a techno road movie that could only come from Kölsch!
Of course, after a remix like that, there's not much left to say but this is techno and our man Butch is anything but normal! He just knows instinctively how to bring things to the boil and demonstrates it very impressively again on his original version. Implementing a 'nasty' arpeggio line that captivates us before being hunted down by a prime-time filter, Butch summons up an acid monster that works without a 303 but is no less effective. If that's not enough Butch also proves himself a master of ecstatic dance during the closing sections, serving up an emotional string arrangement that glimmers and shines. As a result, "Countach" with his nice fat strings becomes an instant dance floor catcher.

It'll probably be very difficult to pick a favourite from these two mixes, which makes this cut even fatter! It's a great release brimming with pathos and full-on emotions.

Tracklist

A1) Bepsi
A2) Bepsi (wAFF Remix)
B1) Yallah!!!
B2) Yallah!!! (Dub)

Diving head first into 2019, we are adamant to continue our pace of never slowing down in our quest to release cutting edge, timeless music and with our first release of the year we turn to one of the most sought after names in todays scene to guarantee it. The one and only Butch graces us with two stellar cuts and both tunes are uniquely crafted cuts that only Butch could make work on the dance floor.

‘Bepsi’ kicks things off with organic percussion where groove reigns supreme and an ethnic vocal sample provides the lead creating the perfect balance of sincerity and humor only Butch himself could pull off. The second tune; ‘Yallah’ takes cues from the previous but cranks up the pace and infuses indigenous instruments and energetic atmospherics to create a wild ride perfectly suited for any dance floor moment. As if those two weren’t enough, a remix of ‘Bepsi’ from one of the recent years hottest new faces; Waff and Butch’s own dub version of ‘Yallah’ forging an undeniably strong bundle of modern dance floor antics. Enjoy!

Tracklist:
A) Butch feat. Hohberg - The Spirit B1) Butch feat. Hohberg - The Spirit (Adriatique's 7am Remix) B2) Butch - Shahrzad
Info:
Fresh and exclusive from Butch's Watergate mix is a massive cut with his partner in crime, Hohberg titled The Spirit. Add a remix from the Swiss duo Adriatique and a tune from Butch flying solo and you have "Songs About Unconsciousness". With "The Spirit", Butch and Hohberg create a vivid and euphoric tour of emotions with a hypnotic looping lead, lush pads and a pulsating, relentless groove. It's a serious burner that makes you want to close your eyes and get lost in another world. In a perfect contrast yet staying true to the original, Adriatique deliver a stunning remix. Their take is a deeper, more melodic vibe, ripe with warm sub bass and rich organic drums perfect for a late night or early morning excursions. To round up the EP is Shahrz?d. It's an acid trip laced with spaced out washes of Arabian winds, voices from a dream and infectious loops of percussion. In all "Songs About Unconsciousness" is a beautifully crafted bundle from the master of dance floor psychedelia, Butch.

Short info:
BUTCH RETURNS TO DESOLAT THIS OCTOBER
For a long time now, Butch has been regarded as one of the most versatile producers in electronic music and his releases across a range of different labels including Sei es Drum, Cocoon, Rekids and Visionquest reflect this. Equally adept at making peak time records as he is at delivering deep and weird tracks, Butch's productions always have a distinct and particular character to them. After making his Desolat debut on the 'FTS EP' back in May 2013, Butch returns this October with four shadowy mechanical mutations. Both 'LFO' and 'Sphere' are formidable techno assaults which contains an array of dystopian beeps and blips. On 'Delusion' Butch takes a beautifully hypnotic and psychedelic approach, with a distinctive woodwind sound meandering throughout the track. One for the early hours. 'Tone 2.0' rounds off the EP in a similarly dark vein with, full of flickering electronic tones and drum rolls. The 'Sinus Tones & 808s EP' is even better than you would expect from Butch. Staying true to its name, this release will appeal to those who are in need of some killer explorations of dark leftfield sounds done with that unique Butch charm.

Special Remarks: coloured vinyl 12"
Tracklist 12": A1. Pompino A2. Dimensions B1 Desert Storm B2 Sonny Got It Going On
Butch is rightly regarded as one of the most prolific producers in electronic music, having graced countless revered labels including Sei es Drum, Cocoon, Rekids and Visionquest. On FTS he makes his long overdue debut on Desolat with four deep and distinctive tracks. Opening track 'Pompino' kicks off the EP with a distorted rhythm and contorted vocals which build and build into a twisted and trippy groove. 'Dimensions' follows in a similar vein, developing slowly and building tension until the tracks drops back in a distorted fashion with distinctive bells and unnerving harmonies. B-side 'Desert Storm' captivates the listener from the off, with a hypnotic rhythm until the track lives up to its exotic name and sees a wailing vocal comes in and cut through the beat. 'Sonny Got It Going On' rounds off the EP in fine style. Proceeding at a slower BPM, it features crisp drums and a dusty gangster-movie sample, culminating in a distinctive and classy slice of electronic music. On 'FTS' Butch lives up to his billing as one of the finest producers around, delivering a four-track twisted and hedonistic journey through expertly crafted underground sounds.
