Back by Josh Butler
A leading DJ, producer, A&R and label boss, Josh Butler is an artist forever in evolution. June sees a welcome return to Rejected as he delivers his fourth EP on the label, entitled 'Back'.
'This EP was one of the last I finished at my studio before moving my equipment home for the lockdown. The A-side is a peak-time tool with African inspired rhythm and percussion, whilst I'd heard the word Baobab on a documentary for the B-side. It's a unique looking tree commonly found in Africa and, I'd always loved the look of them so I had to use it for a track title. The track to me sounds quite natural and almost wooden so it felt fitting'. - Josh Butler
Title cut 'Back' opens the package and quickly enters into a snaking, hypnotic journey through delayed vocal interjections, resonant dubby stabs and sweeping synths, whilst the paired back 'Baobab' harnesses refined organic percussion hits beneath blossoming lead melodies, punchy low-end hits and further tripped-out vocal work to shape up yet another notable outing on Rejected from one of the UK's leading house music talents.
