Butric ‎– Fünf Viertel - Otherside - OS 003 Green Marbled

VINYL ONLY:

For those who know: Ricardo Villalobos and Butch as Butric.

Remarkably, this 12" marks the first release from Germany's Otherside label since 2014. It comes courtesy of two of techno's most storied producers, German studio wizard Butch and minimal legend Ricardo Villalobos. There's a pleasingly fluid and melodious feel to epic A-side a 16 minute trip "Funfviertel", with Butch and Villalobos peppering an off-kilter, stripped-back techno groove with starry chords, broken electronics, and humid, kalimba style melodies. On the flipside 12 minutes of "Down", the duo opts for a far denser rhythm track, which boasts layered drum hits in Villalobos's traditional South American-influenced style. Throw in a pulsing but weighty bassline and a whole heap of stereo trickery and you have another locked-in late night delight.
