Butch

Butch seemed to just come out of nowhere. He hasn't really. He's been around for a good 3 years, just kind of hid out somewhere until it was his time. He's had some great acts remix some of his tracks along the line, including Format:B and Popof. Someone showed me the Crackpot 823 Remix to his song "Earth" (buy it) a while back and I was blown away by that trippy recurring delayed clave sound. It's like a million-$-line, not the Tony Montana kind. Wow that was lame. Well, after 69 releases and many, many great tracks this guy is a fast established force to be reckoned with. No doubt we'll be hearing more of him, I certainly hope we do.

Luomo

Came across Luomo a few times in the past, mainly due to his track "Tessio", which was remixed a handful of times by some bigger names like Akufen, Stimming or Butch among others. Currently on a tour of Europe, this Finnish producer, residing in beautiful Berlin (hottest day of the year here today btw) has been in the biz since 2000, fed the floors with 3 albums, many, many more releases and countless praised live shows ever since. His list of collabs includes artists like Craig Armstrong, Towa Tei, Ryuchi Sakamoto, Massive Attack, Scissor Sisters and many others.
I have to say I'm not a big fan of vocals in electronic music, they really have to work for me. In the case of "Tessio", his biggest track to date, the music is cool enough to blend that issue out for me. I especially like Stimming's take at it.
