BUTCH CASSIDY SOUND SYSTEM

'BUTCHES BREW'

FENETIK
2LP/CD

(SEPTEMBER 2004)

Welcome to the world of beat technician, professional prankster and all round musical genius Butch Cassidy Sound System.

The much anticipated debut album ‘Butches Brew’ is a diverse and fascinating instalment of reggae bliss from the man behind the Butch Cassidy Sound System, 26-year-old musician, writer and producer Michael Hunter.

Michael’s gritty, yet harmonious style defies all genre boundaries, and creates an organic sound often missing from modern reggae sound systems.

Over the last seven years Michael has recorded under the name Pablo for Good Looking Records, Guidance, Fenetik and his brother Paul’s Red Hook Imprint.

The last three years have seen Michael putting together the Butch Cassidy Sound System album project, an idea to fuse his obsession for rare breaks, hip-hop and early 70's soul and jazz with roots reggae. For the recording of this project, Michael collected together all the vintage instruments, compressors and effects and mastered the album from two inch tape, to achieve the authenticity of sound he wanted, creating a perfect mix of funk and reggae.
