Butane welcomes frequent collaborator Riko Forinson back to Extrasketch as the pair return with Sorry For Everything.
Two artists with an innate ability in the studio, San Francisco-based DJ, producer and label owner Andrew Rasse, aka Butane, and Italian talent Riko Forinson have remained ever-present fixtures within the worlds of house and techno over the past few years. Increasingly, a regular feature of the duo’s output now lies in their excellent collaborations together. Following a string of releases together via a host of top-tier international imprints, the pair now makes a welcome return to Rasse’s burgeoning Extrasketch imprint in mid-June. Maybe their most polished work to date, here the pair unleashes two new fresh cuts showcasing a new side to their ever-developing sound.
With pristine drum programming and synth work to go with enchanting female vocals, both cuts deliver a slow-burning deep house sound for the summer. The opening cut we are premiering today is titled “Sorry” and pairs a steady, classic, driving groove with floating atmospherics, while ‘Everything’ puts out a more soulful, sleazy, modern vibe. Fully realized, sonic, and mature, these vocal-led cuts are sure to get plays from peak-time, after-hours, and bedroom DJs alike. Another notch in the belt for one of the most consistent duos in underground dance music.
