About this item

Butch’s unmistakable music has always worn the influence of disco proudly on its sleeve. Both his mega-hit "No Worries" and his first contribution to the Running Back catalogue, "Desire", are essentially modern-day disco records. The same goes for his return to the label with "Glory Night", perhaps even more so, thanks to its vintage engineering and authentic aural treatment. Equipped with the genre’s signature sounds and arranged like a lost disco edit from the late ’70s, Butch applies the lotions and potions that today’s dancers demand, creating one of those peak-time sensations that make him unique - complete with confetti, a firecracker breakdown on top, and an extra rhythm section bonus tool included. "Just Chill" and "Just Fly" continue that narrative. While the first appeals to fans of r&b or funk samples (though no recordings were harmed in the process), it is catchy as hell and creates an inescapable maelstrom. The second, meanwhile, draws on the principles of deep house and exercises itself in contemplation. Be that as it may, here are a couple of tracks that work on almost any floor and at any time. Or, to quote Giorgio Moroder: 'Disco is music for dancing, and people will always want to dance.'

STAFF COMMENTS
