Ben Butler & Mousepad is Joe Howe (Gay Against You, Germlin, Joemus), executed with friend and co-conspirator Bastian Hagedorn (GTUK), a project originally signed on LOAF Recordings. Musique Large is glad to welcome them for the release of the Gif N Run EP. Taking as much inspiration from Progressive Rock�s excesses as from the clean, crisp �whoomp� of the Scandinavian club scene, BB&MP is an electronic mess, reigned in quickly by a persistent pummelling beat or lightning-fast arpeggio. When things slow down, there is room for more consideration - analog wobble and warmth, weird chords and byzantine structures, all shot through with enthusiasm and clumsy energy. This ep will definitely find its place between Mr Oizo�s, Daedelus�s and D�bruit�s records. Three remixes complete the EP : Shigeto (Ghostly International) provides an aerial remix of Mag Mag, Brokenchord (Black Acre) re-works the sound layers of Cheer in a cold-beat way, and Mesak (Harm�nia) brings some skwee madness to Dmore II. Like his previous projects, Gif N Run is an unpredictable, fun and musically dense release of Ben Butler & Mousepad. Few words by Ben Butler : I just finished working on music for an opera in Berlin, so this is a break for me - about the most different thing i could possibly do! I�m glad Musique Large adopted these tracks, I�ve had difficulty finding them a home - Too fast to be skweee, too weird to be house�Play to switch off your brain and engage your feet!!
