This is the debut full-length release by Berlin by-way-of Saint Louis Alphahouse label-head, Andrew Rasse aka Butane. Endless Forms is the future of electronic music, exploring fresh directions and true experiments in sound, heralding the arrival of one of the more pioneering artists of our times. The title is a homage to Darwin, the true master of progress, and the discoverer of evolution. Butane took inspiration from Darwin's concepts, considering "all the complexity that surrounds us has developed from ultimate simplicity." Working from this notion, Butane has created a project that holds the beauty of simplicity, yet listen carefully, and you can hear the intricacy of its craftsmanship. "This Is Your Brain On Music" takes a sample from Daniel Levitin, a neuroscientist/musician, talking about his book and encapsulating the message of the album -- "that scientific and philosophic inquiry into the nature of things leads to new forms of artistic expression." Endless Forms drifts through the organic sounds of Butane's production in tracks such as "His Story" and "Mutation," each creating new patterns in the engineering of modern techno. "Transmit The Music In Me," "Almost Finished," and "Idle" further augment the atmosphere, where industrial beats encounter laid-back harmony. Taking influence from evolution, he embodies a wide musical range, encompassing anything from seamlessly-blended soul-led techno, to warm, deep, cerebral house music.

Inferno Jack is the second EP culled from Andrew Rasse aka Butane's album, Endless Forms. Full of luscious grooves and intrinsic beats, the project will earmark Butane as a true talent. Anja Schneider's remix beats some piano-led melody and percussion into "Inferno Jack" that creates a new-found, magnetic groove. Rumbling its roots and experimenting with its sounds, Kalabrese works his magic through the veins of the track, culminating in a breathtaking record that is sure to keep dancefloors alive.

Butane's Mutation is the first single from his long-player and comes with remixes from fresh producers Sis and Sety. The track is filled with organic sounds and mysterious allure. A sub-aquatic, rib-rattling monster of a tune, "Mutation" is a sublime piece of sonic dancefloor skullduggery. Sis' take is a high-energy, electric track, suspenseful and with immense power. Circus Company co-founder Sety presents enchanting horns and muted trumpets that drive the infectious, dubby rhythm relentlessly on.

RP 005EP
|
"Second part of the collaboration between the great DJ Butane and Roman Photo, this volume is still serious and deep but with more groove and functionality than the previous one, especially with the track 'detained with bruno.' Anyway too much words are not necessary, music of Butane is really suggestive and really good for your imagination, so the best is just listen, dance and maybe dream with Techno for Whirrled Peas Volume 2. Volume One was supported by artists such as Luciano, Troy Pierce and Lars Sandberg."

CCCO 004EP
|
"The new Catenaccio release, Patience EP, is the restrained and compulsive work of Butane, who is one of the upcoming producers in 2006. His new tracks are all in the favourite CCCO mood and work perfectly for the 'groove noir' destination of Catenaccio. Hypnotizing mind and stomach food."

IFREAK 001EP
|
"First release is brought by one of the hottest US minimal techno acts nowadays. He runs Alphahouse Music and released a 12" for Dumb Unit. We welcome Andrew Rasse aka Butane. Butane starts the show and delivers three tracks fully loaded with weirdo kitchen samples, creepy sounds in the background and bubbling elastic basslines. Doesn't matter if 'Bang Bang,' 'I Left With A Soaking Wet Short Sleeved Dress' or 'Sine Language' comes out the speakers... we like them all."
