Butyreux (“it is pronounced ‘butirò’ and it means buttery in French”) of Trash-Dance is another one in line of the Italian-breed super producers. Hailing from the epicentre of spaghetti electro uprising, the hometown of Sir Bob Rifo of The Bloody Beetroots, his sound blends the usual suspects of current floor slaying aroma: abundance of synthesizers, profusion of filters and distortion, and harsh pumping beats. The twist comes up later. Seize it tomorrow.
