Josh Butler joins Kerri Chandler's Kaoz Theory imprint with the 'Piranha' EP, featuring a collaboration with Josh Daniel, and two original compositions.Northern England's Josh Butler has been at the forefront of the contemporary house scene over the past decade, racking up releases for the likes of Defected, Rejected, Solid Grooves, Hot Creations, Crosstown Rebels, MUSE and many more. Here though we see Josh returning to Kerri Chandler's Kaoz Theory following 2023's 'Sunday Club' with some fresh, dub house leaning material.Opening the release is 'Be There', a collaboration with Josh Daniel, laid out across five and half minutes with dubbed out piano chords, crisp drums, a bouncy bass line and Daniel's soulful vocal stylings.A dub mix is offered up to follow, laying focus solely on the groove. On the flip side we have the 'Piranha' up first, a hazy journey through dubbed out synth swells, airy vocal chants, skippy low-slung percussion and snaking sub bass tones. 'Chess' then rounds out the EP, laying down heavily swung minimalistic percussion, fluttering low end pulsations and ethereal atmospheric textures to create a subtly unfurling, cinematic dance floor groove.Tracklisting:
