Artist: BUTTHA
Album: MAGIC ISLAND (DIGI)

Year: 2013
Media type: CD

Spirituality in modern dance music: An apparent contradiction that Buttha completely unwinds with his new album "Magic Island" on Elux Records. This is where Dubtechno meets Chillout Moods, analog Synthsounds combine with percussive instruments. It is World Music as the lowest common denominator that describes the style of the album most likely. While having travelled around the world to many distant countries, Buttha drew the inspiration he nowadays converts into music in his studio in Berlin mostly using purely analog equipment.

The sound should be rough, not digitally polished. With "Magic Island" he travels to possible places of desire, fortune but also darker realms. The result is a complex album that works primarily through its timelessness away from the fast-paced party life. The love of nature is reflected in his tracks ever again. Titles such as "Eivissa" and "Atlantis" give a foretaste of the upcoming stories of the magical islands. Mythical cities with which everyone associates his own hopes and fears. Since 2008 Buttha has releases his musical output on his own label BackisBlack Recordings. With his album on Elux Records he now spans the full range of his work. Melancholic dreamy easy listening is being combined here with relaxed danceable euphoria. In 17 tracks Buttha takes us to unheard acoustical places. We like to accompany Buttha in his search for the Magic of Island, a place that everyone can find in themselves.
