Ben Butler & Mousepad – Infinite Capacity EP

BB&MP is one Joe Howe, previously known for his work with electronic terrorists Gay Against You and Germlin, but whereas those acts were renowned just as much for their extremity as their complexity, now with Ben Butler, Joe is easing back on the velocity and letting his addiction to the groove shine through.

The EP's stand-out is Electric Bamber-Boo, an electro-dance behemoth, featuring clever off-kilter timing and layers of breathtaking, Herbie Hancock-esque electronic funk. With the likes of Dam Mantle and Skweee-master Eero Johannes also paying their respects with some tasty remixes, it's certain that BB&MP's full-length in 2011 is promising to be an atomic-electro-jazz-prog-funk thrill-ride.
