( COR 12150 ) BUTCH - Countach (12") Cocoon Germany

Sometimes it feels a little like Bulent "Butch" Gurler is collecting record labels in the way school kids collect football stickers. This release sees him notch up a release on Cocoon for the first time, allowing him to affix the shiny, holographic label logo into his discography alongside such top-tier imprints as Trapez, Watergate, Rekids, Visionquest and Hot Creations. "Countach" is arguably one of his most positive and sun-kissed releases to date, with the action focusing on waves of rising and falling synthesizer arpeggio lines, rising electronic orchestration and spine-tingling motifs. Kompakt Extra regular Rune Reilly Kolsch retains some of this fluttering melodiousness on his flipside remix, combining key melodic phrases with more energetic beats and a raw new bassline of his own.
