Butane & Someone Else

Little Helpers
LH250 | 2016-11-08  
Here you will see the infamous Little Helpers imprint mark yet another a milestone with their two hundred and fiftieth release, featuring a six-track offering from label bosses Butane and Someone Else.

Launched in 2009 by Andrew Rasse aka Butane and Sean O’Neal aka Someone Else, Little Helpers has since established itself as one of the most consistent imprints within the realms of techno and house. Offering digital DJs both reduced groove-focused tools as well as stand alone productions, the label has gone on to welcome the likes of Ryan Crosson, Mark Henning, Flashmob and more to its rich catalogue across the past 7 years. To mark the
imprints two hundred and fiftieth release, both Rasse and O’Neal have paired up once again, with two collaborative tracks alongside two individual cuts from each producer. The six tracks on the release underpin just why the conceptual label continues to thrive, oozing quality from the off.

Opening track ‘250-1’ reveals exactly what you’d expect from the pair, a combination of driving, bumpy kicks, tweaked-out vocal work and menacing low ends, before ‘250-2’, the first of two productions from Someone Else, lays down crisp, hard hitting percussion, warped melodies and echoing vocals throughout its near eight minute duration.

Little Helper ‘250-3’ signals the arrival of Butane, bringing forth resonant pads and rugged 808 drums intricately laid over shadowy sub tones, creating a slightly more jacking vibe, whilst ‘200-4’ employs a stripped back arrangement, with a focus placed on a heady groove, shuffling hats, rich stabs and a series of mischievous vocal shots.

Entering the latter third, the pair combine once again for ’250-5’, a mix of dubbed out swells and scattered percussion licks, whilst hypnotic nuances and blooming atmospherics slowly take hold to unveil an altogether more dark and psychedelic aesthetic. Last up, ‘250-6’ sees Someone Else raise the tempo one last time through a menacing techno cut comprising of stuttering percussion and an infectious groove, shaping up the release in compelling and commanding fashion.

With a focus on quality and intricate arrangements, the package showcases both the talent and studio prowess of Rasse and O’Neal, but also reinforces the labels commitment to its concept, delivering yet more expertly crafted, DJ friendly cuts.
