BUTTERNUT

About Me


Butternut is DJ Payback, former DJ from Belfast band Olympic Lifts (Bungalow) and MC Filthy Jim (legandry London MC from Collapsed Lung)
Payback, during his time in Olympic Lifts toured and Dj’d the world, playing everywhere from New York to Russia with people like Peaches, Royksopp, Goldie Looking Chain, Freestylers, Jurrasic 5, David Holmes and Ladytron.He also remixed for labels like Skint and Escalaltor, whilst being remixed by Ugly Duckling ( XL)
Meanwhile MC filthy Jim was signed to Deceptive reocrds (then home of elastica amongst others) and recorded 2 albums including the football anthem “eat my goal” with legendary hip-hop crew Collapsed Lung.His other projects include the p-funking acid-breaks moniker of Sgt Rock (“an inspiration”-Plump DJs)
The two met and decided the only decent thing to do was to record a record, that didnt sound like grime, didnt talk about guns, and instead celebrated the hip-hop music they knew and loved-music for the party-first off came the ltd 12” “Uncle-B-Boy”, including remixes from Tummy Touch artists Shuffle, and Jeans Team (Kitty-Yo/Louisville), and summer 2007 saw the release of “B-Boy Squash” the debut long-player, featuring some choice guests, alot of skits, and cuts by legendary Irish DJ Chris Caul.
Butternut have already warmed up the stage for Grandmaster Flash and Yoda, rocked the seminal Heavenly Social in London, and killed at the Oxegen Festival in Ireland. They have just returned from a tour of Japan, to promote the launch of the LP, playing in Osaka, Tokyo and Nagoya with Skibunny DJs, Halfby and Handsomeboy Technique.
