Album Review: BUttOnPUSHeR by Mr X Meets Tube & Berger
Alright, let’s talk about BUttOnPUSHeR, the 2007 house banger from Mr X and the legendary duo Tube & Berger. Released under the Italian label Tambour, this album feels like a time capsule of early electronic vibes with a twist that still hits today. If you’re into raw house beats layered with personality, this one's worth your attention.
First off, I gotta shout out the track "BUttOnPUSHeR (Original Mix)". It’s got that classic house groove—simple but effective, y'know? The bassline is deep enough to make your chest vibrate, while Mr. X’s vocals add this gritty edge that sticks in your head long after the song ends. You don’t need flashy tricks when the rhythm just works. Honestly, it’s one of those tracks where you can almost picture yourself in some dimly lit club in Milan back in '07, nodding along as the night stretches on.
Then there’s the "Pornocult Pusher Mix"—and yeah, the name alone makes you curious. This remix takes the original and cranks up the weirdness factor just a bit. There’s something hypnotic about how they layer the synths here; it’s not too over-the-top but has enough going on to keep things interesting. Like, halfway through, there’s this little breakdown that builds tension so well it feels like you're waiting for fireworks to explode. Spoiler alert: They kinda do.
The production credits deserve props too. Arndt Rörig and Marko Vidovic clearly put their hearts into this project—they wrote, arranged, mixed, basically did everything except press play at the club themselves (I assume). Their chemistry shines through every beat and tweak.
What I love most about this album is its unpretentious vibe. It doesn’t try too hard to be cool or groundbreaking—it just is. And sometimes, that’s all you really need. Plus, who else names an album BUttOnPUSHeR? Feels like someone pressed caps lock mid-brainstorming session and decided to roll with it.
Final thought: Listening to this record reminded me why house music will always have a special place in my heart. It’s not just music—it’s a mood, an energy, a way to connect without saying much at all. Also, fun fact—I now want a button-pushing-themed dance party. Someone call Italy and make it happen.
Rating: 8/10 because it didn’t magically solve world hunger, but hey, it came close.
