Butch Essentials

Butch Essentials

Bülent Gürler knows discipline; his rigorous studio regimen speaks to that. But one listen to the trippy, undulating dance music he records as Butch makes it clear that he knows even more about hedonism. Raised in Mainz, Germany, he made his mark with a string of minimalistic house anthems in the late '00s, eventually collaborating with Ricardo Villalobos and racking up dozens of releases on key labels like Cécille, Rekids, Visionquest and Desolat. From breakbeat workouts to slippery 808 grooves, no two tracks sound alike, but they all share the same irresistible hypnotic pull.
