The three last years have been crazy for Mainz-based German Turkish producer and
DJ Bⁿlent Gⁿrler, the driving force behind the brawny pseudonym Butch. Well,
actually, all his life has been crazy. From his early days as a graffiti artist
to today, Bⁿlent Gⁿrler, a sparkling individual with a great sense of humor, has
always pushed the envelope. An immensely talented, music-ridden,
technique-crazed person with a strong zest for recognition, heÆs undergone a
huge artistic metamorphosis in order to expose himself. And now that his
ôPapillonö is spreading its wings, Butch is ready to take off!
Locked into his studio for years, Bⁿlent honed his skills to perfection and
subsequently created his very own definition of sound. An utterly open-minded
approach to music and life in general as well as a downright emotional way of
dealing with things is responsible for his amalgamated style that smoothes the
edges of techno, house, minimal and experimental stuff and melts them into one
great colorful experience. Incorporating everything from guitar licks to deep
gurgling acid -- anything that feels good -- into his sound, he manages to
dulcify 1001 nights, and he is no where near tired yetà
ButchÆs journey started when he was a b-boying teenager surfing trains to
Frankfurt to paint. He risked his life climbing the compartments, and inevitably
ended up getting injured. Breaking both his arms meant he had to take a break
from dancing, so he got busy with some turntable equipment and walked out 6th in
the German DMC DJ-Championship a few years later. With this kind of achievement
under his belt, there was nothing that was gonna stop Butch on his way to the
top.
ôPapillonö is the life story of a butterfly (although it was the film which got
Butch inspired), breaking out of his cocoon to fly off to higher ground. It is
personal transformation that becomes musical progression over the course of the
years, with Bⁿlent getting closer and closer to the core of things. Once
inspired by his older brother who got Bⁿlent into electronic music, Butch who
went dancing in the infamous Dorian Gray club when he was a teenager, is firmly
rooted in the past and the present while reaching out for the stars.
ButchÆs debut is timeless club music at its finest that never ceases to surprise
with its eloquent expressivity. Breaking out of stylistic confinements with
elaborately kicking and clicking tracks like ôWetÆnÆTightö or ôEin-Eö, Butch is
taking off into other dimensions. And parallel universes. Reintroducing
musicality to the floor, Butch does not hesitate to paint vivid colors when
producing: be it the wonderfully vibrant, lively accordion- and percussion
flavoured house sounds of ôAmelieö which has the potential to become massive,
the smooth and sophisticated sounds of ôOsirisö or the harmonic ôJazzy Belleö --
all tracks sound equally homogenous, fluent and creative.
Limitless he explores luscious sounding elements and wedges them into tight beat
cages. Tracks like ôKaleidoscope Eyesö tell stories that have you listening full
of astonishment while they are gripping you firmly with their streamlined
grooves. When the violins in the breakdown of ôSoultanö overlap the soulful
moans of Julie Marghilano, it leaves nothing but amazement. And when the first
CD of the album fades into the secretly stashed away, soft guitar licks that
give ôSandö its reminiscent flavour, it smoothes every frown and leaves nothing
but contentment.
The album is much more than a debut as the second CD includes material
previously released on labels as prestigious as Trapez, AFU Ltd., Craft Music
and of course his main-label Great Stuff, thus offering a huge retrospective of
the last few yearsÆ activities. A DJ-mix which encompasses more of ButchÆs
output under different monikers, sometimes released under his real name Bⁿlent
Gⁿrler, and is significantly crunchier and tougher than the first disc -- with
remixers or co-producers like Oxia, Popof and Amir on duty this comes not as a
surprise. It shows a more club focused side of the incredibly versatile talent
that is Bⁿlent. And knowing him means knowing that that is only the beginning.
