Official Bump Call EP by Butch

German DJ/producer Butch, aka Bülent Gürler, returns to Rekids with the Official Bump Call EP alongside a remix from Riva Starr.

It marks his first release on the label since 2011's "Raw Beats" two-tracker, followed by a 2018 appearance remixing Basement Jaxx's "Good Luck." This time, Snatch! Records boss Riva Starr joins for a remix fresh off the back of his "Shine A Light EP" on Radio Slave's main imprint.

"Bump Call" and "Foxtrot Uniform" are messages from old-school players to new-school fools. At a time, when everything revolves around health, discipline, and maximizing output - more shows, more structure, more money - this EP is a reminder of where it all came from. From a scene that wasn't optimized, but lived. From DJs who didn't just perform - they partied. Yes, times have changed. Even I'm on that fitness wave now, living cleaner and more focused. But this record isn't about that. It's a nod to the chaos, the excess, and the raw energy that defined an era. A reminder that it wasn't always about performance - sometimes it was just about crossing lines.

Butch's "Official Bump Call" plays with live, loose, and funky drum breaks that ride a swollen bassline. Toms and congas pepper the groove as steamy vocals inject the soul. It's a dusty, heartfelt House sound that balances vintage samples with his signature production prowess, making for a sure-fire summer heater. Riva Starr is an equally influential producer who heads up the Snatch! label and has been turning out essential House sounds for many years. His remix beefs up the drums while keeping the slow-burning vocal heat front and center, creating a devastatingly deep yet driving sound.

"Foxtrot Uniform" is another tasteful jumble of soul, funk, and gospel motifs with a lived-in house groove that's instinctive and real. Emotions bubble up but never boil over as the tension builds, culminating in an utter dance-floor release when the diva's vocal erupts. It's a masterclass in control and release.
