@butter_side_up ’s 12th release, Weekend at Raymond’s Place’ comes from San Diego’s hotly tipped @john_manhard . A densely textured and unpredictable six-track EP whose languid groove and swing will sound equally sweet warming up a dancefloor or late into the following day.
Based in San Diego and resident of cult party V:isions, John’s been on a roll of late, with releases on the likes of Mui Mui, Perfect Timings & InTheBagg (alongside Dylan Payne) cementing him as a singular producer with an impressively broad reference board.
The EP’s first track, ‘Shake Your Body’ immediately gets under the skin, a bouncy groove and synth-line pulling you under its command. Over the next 30-odd minutes the spell doesn’t lift – deep house tropes twist and turn playfully over shuffling breaks and swinging basslines, reminiscent of West-Coast house’s finer moments. Manhard’s studio-craft and ear for the unpredictable give a fresh perspective to a much revered and distinctively Pacific-coast sound.
This is music for the fuzzy margins either side of peak time. It’s fitting that Hamish first met and heard John’s music at a hazy afters in LA back in 2022, drawn to a selection of tracks which were largely his own. Two years later these ideas have refined to form another stellar release on BSU, complete with original artwork from Max Binski and scheduled for release in early October.
After a long wait the Fourth record is finally here.
The fourth record from the friends for the bag.
The light goes out. A door opens. A dark room enters. Five universal tunes aimed for dance floors around the clock. Five times to turn the lights back on.

Born and raised in Liège, the city where she made her first appearances behind the decks, she has shaped her musical identity over the past 10 years.
At present, she is a well-known figure in Brussels thanks to her unique signature blend of balance, control and playfulness.

We’re excited to share SLS014 – I Don’t Really Care EP by @elmass_music , with remixes from @john_manhard & @rupertwallmusic
This release shows another side of our underground sound, built around classic retro synth tones and a cinematic feel, while staying locked into the groove. Elmass sets the tone with synth driven tracks that are hypnotic and moody, with a strong sense of atmosphere.
John Manhard takes I Don’t Really Care in a more minimal direction, dialing things back and leaning into simplicity. Rupert Wall brings a more forward moving take on Who Am I, built with energy but still rooted in atmosphere.
