About Me

BUTCH can easily be counted as one of the most interesting newcomers of the last two years in the world of electronic music. With his innovative productions and remixes that range from Techno, Minimal and Neo-Trance, which were released on renowned labels such as Great Stuff, Craft Music and AFU Limited, Butch has managed to make himself a name nationally and internationally within a very short period of time.
Butch’s Great Stuff debut entitled “On the Line” with remixes by the French producer legend Oxia and Cocoon act Pig&Dan was one of the most successful tunes of last autumn and spent weeks in the Top5 of the Beatport charts. His Craft Music releases “Life is Deadly” and “Falling” and his remixes for “Black Market” by Swoop (aka Stephan Bodzin) and “Sync In” by Silent Breed (Thomas P. Heckmann) can easily be counted as hits and found support by international superstars such as Deep Dish, Axwell, John Acquaviva, D’Ramirez, Steve Angello, Claude VonStroke and Oliver Koletzki. The aftermath was predictable: Bookings in Tokyo, Paris, London, Barcelona, Kiev, Zurich and Vienna. With his driving DJ sets with an extremely pushing mixture of tech-house and hypnotic minimal-techno Butch knows how to set his audience into the state of ecstasy, always leaving room for unexpected and surprising moves.
2008 started in a promising way for Butch: His “Mushroom Man”-EP was released on Thomas P. Heckmann’s legendary AFU Limited with spectacular sales following and found a lot of prominent supporters such as Ricardo Villalobos, DJ Hell, Oliver Huntemann and the Italoboyz. Furthermore Butch received the honour and official recognition by being nominated at the BEATPORT MUSIC AWARDS already in two categories (Best Techno&Best Remix Techno) next to top-acts such Dubfire, Stephan Bodzin and Oxia. Butch’s future is looking bright and busy: Besides further singles, EPs and remixes for labels such as Great Stuff, Trapez, AFU Limited and Toolroom Records, he has already produced more than half of his upcoming solo album, which he is hoping to release this fall. BUTCH gehört sicher zu den interessantesten Entdeckungen der letzten zwei Jahre in der Welt der elektronischen Musik. Durch seine innovativen Produktionen und Remixe, die sich zwischen Techno, Minimal und Neo-Trance bewegen und auf renommierten Labels wie Great Stuff, Craft Music, Trapez und AFU-Limited erscheinen, schafft er es innerhalb kurzer Zeit national und international auf sich Aufmerksam zu machen. Butch..s Debüt auf Great Stuff „On the Line“, mit Remixen von Frankreichs Produzenten-Legende Oxia und Cocoon-Act Pig & Dan, wird weltweit zu einem der erfolgreichsten Club-Tracks im Herbst 2007 und setzt sich wochenlang in den Top 5 der Beatport-Verkaufscharts fest. Auch seine Craft Music Produktionen „Life is Deadly“ und „Falling“ oder die Butch-Remixe zu „Black Market“ von Swoop (Stephan Bodzin) und „Sync In“ von Silent Breed (Thomas P. Heckmann) bekommen Support von großen Namen wie Deep Dish, John Aquaviva, Axwell, D.Ramirez, Steve Angello, Claude Von Stroke und Oliver Koletzki. Es folgen deutschlandweite Bookings und Gigs in Tokio, Paris, London, Barcelona, Kiev, Zürich und Wien. Bei seinen treibenden DJ-Sets begeistert Butch mit einer extrem druckvollen Mischung aus Techhouse und hynotischem Minimal-Techno. Dennoch lässt sich sein Sound nicht genau definieren und verspricht so immer wieder Überraschungen und grenzenlose Ekstase. Das Jahr 2008 startet ebenfalls vielversprechend: Die „Mushroom Man“-EP erscheint auf Thomas P. Heckmann..s legendärem Label AFU-Limited und wird mit prominenter Unterstützung von Richardo Villalobos, DJ Hell und den Italoboyz zu einem internationalen Erfolg mit spektakulären Verkaufszahlen. Außerdem wird Butch die Ehre zuteil bei den BEATPORT MUSIC AWARDS in gleich zwei Kategorien (Best Techno & Best Remix Techno) neben Top-Acts wie Dubfire, Stephan Bodzin und Oxia nominiert zu sein. Für die Zukunft stehen weitere hochkarätige Butch Produktionen und Remixe auf Great Stuff, Trapez, AFU-Limited und dem englischen Label Toolroom Records an.
