Techno label, Little Helpers, shares a sample of their extensive catalogue on our latest Label Lovers episode.
Little Helpers is a conceptual label courtesy of Andrew Rasse (a.k.a. Butane) and Sean O’Neal (a.k.a. Someone Else) launched in December 2009. Each track is a strong, reduced groove-tool aimed to satisfy the increasing number of digital DJs. Much like the traditional lockgroove vinyl, these tracks are suitable for looping, editing and layering. Yet at the same time, each track has enough variation to stand on its own. That is, each tune lies somewhere between a full track and a DJ tool — focusing solely on the rhythm or a singular idea rather than extraneous arrangements.
Having recently released their 269th EP in a mere 7 years, Andrew and Sean have been quite busy. The LH machine-like catalogue boasts an impressive collection of artists; including Flashmob, Ryan Crosson, Rick Sanders, Proudly People, Joeski, Bunte Bummler, Lomez; of course, lots of tunes from Butane and Someone Else themselves; and many, many more.
You really can’t go through new releases without seeing 1-3 EP’s from Little Helpers–all of them with a plentiful selection of tracks to play at any occasion requiring dance music. We’ve been a fan since the inception of MI4L so it’s an honor to feature Little Helpers on our coveted Label Lovers series. Enjoy!
