Martin Buttrich has been involved in such a large number of productions since his beginnings in Hanover, Germany in 1995, it would give even the most eager of train spotters a difficult time. But by searching him on the web, you won´t be able to find much. Talking to Buttrich, however, you get the sense that he likes it that way. Shy by nature, Buttrich kept his head down working as a traditional studio producer for over a decade, producing records together with acts like Timo Maas and Loco Dice.
So what about Martin himself? In between all these amazing releases and projects he has found time to do stuff under his own name, releasing records on high profile labels such as Planet E, Cocoon and Four:Twenty, as well as putting together a live show.
The result was a string of big records including ‘Full Clip’ his remix of Tracey Thorn’s ‘It’s All True’ and most recently ‘Stoned Autopilot’ for Carl Craig’s Planet E label.
Loco Dice productions began to surface on Four:twenty and Superstar Recordings and took the dark and twisted sound developed for Timo and with Dice's influence stripped it right back to produce a fiercely isolated groove that has come to embody the dominant sound on dance floors in 2006. Loco Dice singles on Josh Wink’s Ovum, Richie Hawtin's Minus and Sven Vath's Cocoon have made Martin Buttrich and Loco Dice productions the number 1 sound right across the world and they are both on the eve of a move to New York in order to start soaking up the city's influence that they then want to translate into an album. The city also inspired Martin and Loco Dice to start their own record label and create a platform for music without blinkers. Desolat Music Group was born in 2007 and Loco Dice's mesmerizing debut "7 Dunham Place" was released in 2008.
But Martin is not only the studio wizard. You can catch him playing live in all serious clubs world wide. His live act includes laptop, several effect boxes, synthesizer and it constantly changes as it's important for Martin to act spontaneously, capture the mood of certain moments and experiment
instead of playing one hit after another.
