Contributing WriterAn outlet founded originally to release his own productions across the house and techno sphere, Butane’s home imprint Extrasketch welcomed longtime friend Andras Toth as the first guest collaborator on the label earlier this year before then welcoming regular production partner Riko Forinson as the duo revealed a selection of darker collaborative club cuts in the form of ‘Equilibrium’.
Following the project’s release, we asked Riko to take us through the release track-by-track as he details the latest addition to the pairing’s growing collaborative discography.
