Push presents Butch | 27 December 2019 (Friday) at Secrets

PUSH presents Butch (Cocoon | Otherside | Rekids | Running Back) - Germany 

PUSH is stoked to present Butch at Secrets on December 27 (Friday)! Get ready for an epic year-end party as Butch makes his Hong Kong debut bringing his signature blend of funk-ed up pumping underground house music supported by Frankie Lam, DJ Ball and Darka! 

Techno heads love Butch, House heads love Butch. Few artists flow through genres and emotional landscapes with such ease and fluidity, challenging preconceptions of the dance-floor and the expected outcome in the process. It’s true that with Butch, you never know what to expect, other than a consistently fresh and unique output. 

Butch, aka Bülent Gürler isn’t a man interested in playing into one musical community. An expert in tension and release tactics, he has the ability to drive a crowd into euphoria and draw them into a trance in a mere few tracks. The diversity in his productions and music collection is what sets Butch apart. The allure of his sets is the unknown. Anything can happen when you least expect it. 

Butch’s ability to master such a broad spectrum of styles earned him the title of Best Producer 2 years in a row in both Raveline and Groove magazine. An accolade mirrored by his ever-presence in RA’s Top Artists. One of his less subtle releases ‘Countach’ showcases Butch’s ability to produce powerful main room grooves, a track reminiscent of 90s German trance that builds in intensity. 

His gentler side is perfectly displayed in ‘Dope’, a light-hearted loop with softer sounds, but still up to his usual tricks with the slowly rising crowd noises in the background. The footage of Black Madonna dropping this feel-good tune at Dekmantel 2017 is still doing the rounds on social media, a solid example of the uplifting nature of ‘Dope’. ‘No Worries’ is maybe the biggest ear-worm he’s produced to date, with its slightly skewed sample that leaves an imprint on the brain for days - a soulful party staple through and through. And his knack for taking a track and working his magic comes through again in his remix of Cassius (ft. Cat Power and Pharrell Williams) that proved to be a hit. 

His exploration into the trippier side of house and techno led him to collaborate with fellow master of the psyche, Riccardo Villalobos. Under the combined alias ButRic, the duo have produced deep, experimental EPs, such as ‘Fünfviertal’, that lead into a wormhole of warped vocal cuts and tribal drum samples. 

Spending a huge part of his career on tour, Butch has continually kept a strong presence in Ibiza playing the likes of Circoloco at DC10 and Pacha. Energetic dance floors that lap up his playful sets. And playing at one of Deutschland’s most beloved yet intimate clubs, Robert Johnson, Butch stays true to his German roots, holding his party ‘Electric Friday’ a couple of times a year in Frankfurt.
