v/a- 15 YEARS OF BUTTER SESSIONS (DISC THREE) LP

Disc Three entrant RBI serves up a tweaked-out psy-not-psy cut with a built-in spin-back upending the room, before Unsolicited Joints - siblings Cousin and Ben Fester - slide in with a deep dub techno shuffler. Tokyo mainstay Haruka seals the side with Eventide, a serotonin-tipped house curveball made in collaboration with Rotterdam’s Charlton Bakeliet, one of the last internationals to grace the Mercat X booth.

The B-side blooms with OK EG’s zoned, psychoactive techno, handing over to Hybrid Man to diffuse the tension with their morphing dubwise excursion. Yuzo Iwata continues his uncategorisable strain, self-described as EPM (Electronic Psychedelic Music), marked by Japanese ingenuity and free of genre boundaries. Finally, Sleep D round out the set with a rogue link-up with Posseshot, a raw and adrenalised raver laced with a vocal that snarls closer to The Prodigy than hip-hop.
