Buttrich - Meeting Dave Dish/Medicine Man [four:twenty recordings]

17:40 - July 1, 2004

by Andy P

Timo Maas's own label releases a record from his longtime production partner, Martin Buttrich who has produced many records under many aliases. What's so great about Buttrich? and What is the release like?

Buttrich – Meeting Dave Dish/Mr.Medicine Man (four:twenty recordings)

Martin Buttrich is a name that some are familiar with but most are that familiar but you know him and his sound very well, he just produces under many aliases and tends to stay out of the limelight. He is best known as Timo Maas’s producer and production partner and they have worked together on many tracks over the last couple of years. Martin Buttrich has been a part of the following groups, Airpack II, Black Pearl, Rhythm Assault, Mad Dogs, Riot Rhythm, Skydivers, Sounds of Life (Martin’s solo project) and he was the producer for Locodice, Timo Maas’s work and he has done a bunch of remixes. Martin Buttrich and Timo Maas go back many years, to when they first met working the phone sales for the distribution department of Peppermint Jam Records. They have been working together ever since and they have collaborated on many things, which encompass just about all of Timo Maas’s productions. Martin Buttrich is a great solo artist in his own right and he is releasing a single called “Meeting Dave Dish/Medicine Man” on Timo Maas’s own four:twenty recordings.

Buttrich – Meeting Dave Dish/ Mr.Medicine Man (four:14) (four:twenty recordings)

A1 – Meeting Dave Dish
B1 – Mr. Medicine Man

A1 – Meeting Dave Dish

The first side is more in the direction of deep house. It is extremely well thought out because most deep house records tend to get stuck in a deadend but Buttrich shows how with some ideas, you can make extremely worthwhile to listen to. This relies heavily on drums and the melody to move it but the melody is so well done that it moves the track into a deeper direction. “Meeting Dave Dish” slowly builds with an almost chunky bassline and Buttrich then adds some impressive sound effects that give you the impression that you are in a jungle. Music should be a journey and this is no different. It contains a warmer vibe, not as deep as you would expect deep house to be. The riff eventually overcomes you and haunts you near the end of the track. It shows the genius of Buttrich because the music tends to grow on you as the record is played. I like this track, it is not as deep and dirty as this is how I like my deep house to be but it works incredibly well and the sound effects are used to perfection to take you into a jungle setting.

B1 – Mr. Medicine Man

For the B side of this release, Buttrich goes into deep, dark and dirty mode, which is a favorite of mine. This starts very slow like “Meeting Dave Dish” but this is not as warm, it heads straight for dark territory. Buttrich uses different sound effects here but you still get the jungle type feel. The bassline is a chunky builder, where the other parts of the song simply surround it and give it life. It makes use of a haunting vocal that grows on you as well, singing “Mr.Medicine Man”, backed by the dirty dark bassline and the hypnotic jungle sounds, so you feel you are in the Amazon on a boat. This deserves top marks for creativity, most tracks these days are just simple pieces of work but this is a true odyssey from beginning to end and it takes you places, which I argue is the point of music.

Conclusion:
Buttrich shows why Timo Maas has had him help on his productions for years, it is because Buttrich has tremendous talent. Buttrich takes you on a deep house journey but the music is not locked in a dead end as some deep house tends to end up. He adds a unique twist to deep house and makes it enjoyable. Your mind goes on a journey into the jungle with these two tracks, they are hypnotic and just plan dark and dirty. This is certainly one of the summer’s best releases so far, personally I’d head right for Mr. Medicine Man but the A side is pretty good as well.
