Butane and Dandy Jack join forces on this week’s RA podcast.
Martin Schopf is definitely a producer who enjoys a bit of collaboration. When he’s not busy creating his own imaginary studio partners, the Chilean techno buff can be found manipulating his machines alongside the likes of Ricardo Villalobos, Tobias Freund, Sonja Moonear and many other well-established electronic artists. While minimal techno with ethnic samples may be the current flavour of the month, Schopf’s consistently forward-thinking Latin-infused sound refuses to adhere to any set template, with experimentation and innovation taking precedent over simple club functionality.
His latest project is with Alphahouse owner Andrew Rasse, whom you may be familiar with through his mind-bending productions as Butane. Originally hailing from St. Louis, Rasse made the somewhat inevitable move to Berlin two years ago, and hasn’t looked back since. His recent Endless Forms album for Damian Lazarus’ Crosstown Rebels imprint was an exercise in making tracks with a feeling of evolution (with Rasse citing Charles Darwin as a major influence on the work), and it’s this passion for minimal music that exercises both the mind and body that brought the two together to form Pisco Sour. This week’s RA podcast showcases the duo’s third gig together from earlier this month in Berlin, combining Schopf’s swinging rhythms and Rasse’s cerebral charge to devastating effect. We caught up with the pair by e-mail to ask about the gig, boozing and what they’ve got coming up later this year.
