Josh Butler launches Denton alias with single on Nothing Else Matters

Nothing Else Matters has launched a brand-new Home series with its first release from Josh Butler’s new alias Denton.

With the new Home series, Nothing Else Matters will be releasing records more suited to home listening. This is an initiative that rose from the continued closure of clubs. The focus is set around productions that are eclectic and vocal-focussed yet still categorised as electronic. The Denton project also came about for the same reasons, and is now launched alongside singer Lauren L’aimant with their brand-new single “Give It Up”. 

“Give It Up” is a sublime, contemplative house cut with evocative vocals from Lauren L’aimant which you can check out below. 

During the lockdown period, Josh worked in collaboration with a variety of vocalists and is set to release many more vocal-focussed productions under his new pseudonym. His records as Josh Butler will be firmly fixed in the deep and tech house domain where he has created a solid following over the last few years. 

Lauren L’aimant has performed across the globe in live shows alongside renowned acts such as Icarus, Rüfüs Du Sol, Cubicolor and Lane 8. She also secured releases with leading labels Anjunadeep and Toolroom amongst many others. Her songs surely are relatable, soulful and heartfelt, and her work on “Give It Up” is no exception. 

Over a timeless 4/4 beat complete with nostalgic stabs, crisp drums, deep bass rolls and delicate melodic flourishes, Lauren’s vocal is rich and alluring. “Give It Up” is a glorious debut and a tantalising glimpse at what Denton has planned for the coming months.
