BUTCH / FANCIULLI, NIC / WANTS, HANNAH / HAMILTON, ARCHIE / FERRECK, DAWN - [EP18] SAMPLER EP 18

There are more artists using this name: 1) Butch is a DJ, producer and remixer. As soon as he steps behind the decks or into his studio his only ambition is to find the perfect sound which transforms the dancefloor into an ecstatic crowd. His unique productions and remixes transcends between Neo-Trance, Techno and Minimal and are defined through their high quality sound productions and the trademark sounds, which have enabled him to release productions on renowned labels such as Great Stuff, Craft Music, BluFin and Stil vor Talent (Oliver Koletzki’s label). His first production for Craft Music, an impulsive remix for Whebba’s production “Mary’s Army” found world-wide recognition with Key-DJs and fans of electronic music. Shortly afterwards his first own single followed for Tomcraft’s label entitled “Life is Deadly”. This production found support with DJ greats such as Deep Dish, John Acquaviva, Benny Benassi and Oliver Koletzki. Already mastered is his follow-up for Great Stuff called “On the Line” which boasts remixes by Oxia, Pig & Dan and Swen Weber, which presumably will be released in September 2007. His newest project is a remix for probably one of the most wanted producers of minimal-techno at the moment.

Archie Hamilton was born into a life in music. The polar influences he was exposed to throughout his childhood can be attributed to the multi-faceted sound of his own work in the studio, or unique style behind the decks. On the one hand his father educated him in the classical modes: jazz, acoustic, rhythm & blues, soul, and even opera. On the other his Mother came from a punk background (she was even in a punk band in the late seventies - complete with a shaven head!) before embracing the Acid House movement, exposing Archie to the sounds and rhythms of Hardfloor, Adonis, Marshall Jefferson, Jam & Spoon and the Orb. He started listening to her Terry Farley and Mrs Wood mix-tapes and naturally (at the tender age of thirteen) saved up to buy a set of Numark belt-drive turntables and began scoring basic compositions using the eJay loop sequencer. His first break came whilst living in Oxford in 2006, when he secured a residency as the opening DJ at the Carling/O2 Academy. On moving back to London in 2008 he continued to enhance his fledgling career in the industry by working at 'Defected' and '360 Artist Management', ably supported with a succession of gigs at venues such as the Aquarium, Cargo, the Rhythm Factory, the Lightbox, the Doors, and the Horse & Groom; all culminating in a memorable performance at the Glade Festival in the summer of 2009 alongside being rewarded a weekly residency at the T-Bar. By the years end his star had truly risen: with the Evening Standard hailing him the next 'Mark Ronson' (despite the obvious differences in their respective genre selections!) he co-founded the 'moscow records' imprint where he will be releasing his own music and applying his past knowledge and experience to take on the A&R duties, whilst further nascent productions were also signed to labels such as Bullet Train, Monique Musiq and Uberbeat, and gained support and praise form the likes of Jet Project, DJ T. (Get Phyiscal), and Terry Francis (fabric). Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
