Check Out the New Track from Butch on MDLBEAST Records
German artist Butch comes good for MDLBEAST Records with a cracking new track and mix. Out now, Testarossa is the fledgling label’s second release. The DJ and producer modestly calls it “your favourite new track”.
MDLBEAST Records sprang to life in February with Ringtone by Dutch-Moroccan DJ R3hab. Butch and R3hab’s tracks will feature on the Soundstorm Volume 1 compilation. Due for release later this month, it’s a collection of tracks from selected DJs who headlined at the inaugural MDLBEAST Soundstorm festival, in Saudi Arabia, in 2019. Slated for release in April, the album also boasts music from Salvatore Ganacci, Afrojack and MENA talent Cosmicat.
Delicious
Butch has also put the finishing touches to his new album. Scheduled for release around September, the longplayer is “16 delicious songs” from different genres. We can’t wait for that!

Sense of Humour
Well-known for his pranks, Butch has kept his sense of humour during the Coronavirus-enforced gig dry spell. Posting an old pic of himself outside Ibiza Airport, with huge ‘Ibiza’ signage in the background, he asked his social followers: “Guess where I am?” Then proclaimed every person that answered correctly would receive €200 from his DJ buddy Rampa.
He also played around with a face aging app, adding a few years and a few pounds to DJ pals Nina Kraviz, Seth Troxler, Richie Hawtin and more. Posting the results on social media, he quipped: “Here is a selection of my favourite DJs post Covid, around 2023. My apologies, I have nothing to do besides this, no offence.”
The kind of dude we’d enjoy hanging out with, we’re hoping Butch is invited back to play at MDLBEAST’s Soundstorm festival in Saudi later this year – if it goes ahead. More than 400,000 party people enjoyed the three-day festival – the first of its kind in the kingdom – in 2019.
