Artist of the Month Chart by Amelie Lens | September 2026
Ritter Butzke Records celebrates a major milestone with its 300th release, a compilation that brings together the diverse sound, spirit and community that have shaped the label and its home at Ritter Butzke over the years. From established names and long-standing contributors to residents and emerging artists, the release reflects the open-minded musical identity at the heart of the club and label frlom Berlin. Featuring eleven tracks, the compilation moves freely across the spectrum of contemporary electronic music, embracing different moods, grooves and approaches without being tied to a single sound.
Alphadog is back on Diynamic with a three-track rollercoaster that brings out the rebel you forgot was hiding in there. “Rockstar” kicks the door down — cheeky, loud and straight to the point, with just enough attitude to cause some trouble. “Boogie Up” together with Melodic, flips the mood, bouncing from riff to riff with a playful energy that gets your hips moving before you even realise it. “Stay Close to Me” slows everything down into a hazy, sun-drenched dream, with wandering guitar riffs and that warm feeling of chasing the last bit of daylight. Three tracks, three shades of the same wild spirit – from causing a little chaos to moving without thinking and drifting off into the sunset.
What a treat – US West Coast meets Barcelona on R.A.N.D. territory. A superb EP spanning modern tech house and sophisticated techno with a remix by the very Fantastic Man.
For the fifth release on At A Glance, Shabi delivers a four-track collection of groove-driven house music built for long nights and packed dancefloors. Blending rolling drums, infectious basslines, soulful vocal touches and a deep sense of movement, AAG005 captures the label’s love for timeless club records with a fresh and contemporary edge.
