Tuff Questions is our series where we ask artists a selection of incredibly difficult questions.

How will the psychedelic producer fare in the toughest interview in dance music?

The Germany-based, Turkish producer has just released his first track of 2021, "Testarossa". The tech-house-inspired release sees Butch weave moody synths with progressive basslines for a dark, but euphoric dancefloor heater. 

Butch said; "It's been a full year without clubs, locked in a studio for introspection, and I'm happy to present "Testarossa" as a result of that time. I think that as artists and fans, all we want is to drop some sonic bombs, future club classics, and make things better so we can all dance together again soon."

Butch has been wowing dancefloors across the globe with his psychedelic productions for labels such as Watergate, Cocoon, Crosstown Rebels, Drumcode and Hot Creations. When he's not performing or producing he's been keeping fans entertained with his beloved Butch TV on YouTube. Last year he remixed Faithless, Kolombo and Alan Fitzpatrick, but what was the first record he bought with his own money?
