This Saturday in the Bootleg, Rotterdam, don’t miss it because live sets of Spank the Butler are rare and strange things can happen during them!

DYFR 002 and 003 still prominent place @ Kompakt

[From the DYFR blog]

A month after sending, the guys at Kompakt still give DYFR002 and 003 a prominent place at their wall. This is quite unique since the amount of new records coming into their shop each day usually forces them to change the walls each week or so. Thanks for the support guys!

Spank the Butler rocked the Creme party

2010-10-11T09:06:00.004+02:00

With a part live, part dj set, Spank the Butler closed the Creme party in the Pip in The Hague. Officially till 4, the audience demanded to keep on going until way past 4 when the people from the venue begged to stop since they really had to close down.

Videos and photo's were made so have a look (for more photo's and material, look at the facebook page):

The 9th of October in the Pip, The Hague:
Rude66 and Spank the Butler Live with dj's TLR, Brian Chinetti and IRF.

We are very excited to play next to Rude since he mastered our first records as well (and the flyer rocks big time!).

Spank the Butler banging the Bootleg at 6 in the morning

2010-09-13T23:38:00.001+02:00

After some very good sets by Raoul, Alwin, Patrique and Dica, it was the task of Spank the Butler to close the party last Saturday at the Bootleg dj cafe. These two videos were made by Dica during their set. It was played with two Macbooks and a Korg Kaossilator pro between 5 and 7 am.

Although the Bootleg usually closes at 6, people were going crazy so they stayed open for another hour.

Techno in the beginning:

And banging acieeed at the end!

DYFR002 - Spank the Butler, coming up!

2010-04-28T12:05:00.001+02:00

It has been a bit quiet in the Spank the Butler camp. The Butler was on holiday and we used the opportunity to finish up on some tracks and remixes.

The good news is: DYFR 002 is mastered (by one of the godfathers of Dutch electro: Ruud Lexx or Rude66 as you might know him)! Now it is waiting for the first test pressings to appear. In the meantime we put a little mix together from some old and some new tracks and remixes so you can have a listen while waiting on the vinyl version.

Go ahead and download the mix for your ipod on:
The Spank the Butler Soundcloud page

Or listen to it directly trough the player:

The people of the Mindfuckmondays are spanked

2010-03-02T19:24:00.000+01:00

The first live performance was a great success despite the midi problems and the setlist that was thrown away within 30 seconds. Still we managed to spank everybody for 75 minutes on pure improvisation! Have a look a the video.

We're gonna spank you!

2010-02-08T15:49:00.000+01:00

On the Mindfuckmondays! In a small venue called "De Vinger" in the centre of f*cked up The Hague. The place is owned by the former owner of the "Hasbollah" the famous bar in squatter-kingdom "The Blauwe Aanslag". Be sure to bring earplugs because the sound can be as loud as on the old "Acidplanet" parties! With us there will be some dj's playing various deep-house, Chicago acid and disco stuff. One of them is the owner of the DYFR label where our next record will be released.

No Roomservice

The guys from STB are not here to serve you, but it seems that they are treatening you guys a lot with their uncompromised sounds. You lucky basterds.

Watch out for some deep, hypnotic and crispy sounds. Another tune to take serious!

New DYFR release?

Word out there is that there will be a new DYFR release from some unknown artists. Look here for a sneak preview of what might be on the record.

After DYFR001 last year, word on the streets is that there might be a DYFR002 in the near future. Some tracks were send to the DYFR office and turned out to be very good. Tracks from two unknown guys from the West Coast of Holland will probably soon appear on the next DYFR. To have an idea about what this release is gonna sound like, take a listen to the following sample:
