The three last years have been crazy for Mainz-based German Turkish producer and DJ Bülent Gürler, the driving force behind the brawny pseudonym Butch. Well, actually, all his life has been crazy. From his early days as a graffiti artist to today, Bülent Gürler, a sparkling individual with a great sense of humor, has always pushed the envelope. An immensely talented, music-ridden, technique-crazed person with a strong zest for recognition, he’s undergone a huge artistic metamorphosis in order to expose himself. And now that his “Papillon” is spreading its wings, Butch is ready to take off!

The album is much more than a debut as the second CD includes material previously released on labels as prestigious as Trapez, AFU Ltd., Craft Music and of course his main-label Great Stuff, thus offering a huge retrospective of the last few years’ activities. A DJ-mix which encompasses more of Butch’s output under different monikers, sometimes released under his real name Bülent Gürler, and is significantly crunchier and tougher than the first disc -- with remixers or co-producers like Oxia, Popof and Amir on duty this comes not as a surprise. It shows a more club focused side of the incredibly versatile talent that is Bülent. And knowing him means knowing that that is only the beginning.

The double cd "5 Years Of Great Stuff" gives you the perfect overview and outlook of the divers sound of Great Stuff: CD 1, presented by Tomcraft & Lützenkirchen lets you travel through the back catalogue with their Best Of Great Stuff mix: 35 classics mixed, mashed up and edited, from left to right, from the big classics to the latest tunes. CD2 exclusively consists of brand new versions from the current Great Stuff artists, remixing their respective favourites out of the GSR Catalogue. Plus a very special highlight: the birthday serenade from Tomcraft & Lützenkirchen.
