Butter Sessions: A Session with PERC + top 5 tunes

Ali Wells or Perc as some like to call him is a humble UK based Techno monster. If you’re familiar with his composition’s you probably know what a shotgun to the face feels like, but Perc is also more then just a blatant dancefloor bad-boy. Showing off his experimental and industrial evil twin last year with his Wicker & Steel LP, aswell as signing more daring and forward thinking artists to his Perc Trax imprint. If you’re not familiar with Perc, we suggest you get down to Brown Alley in Melbourne this Friday to see what he’s all about. Oh and while you’re here, you may aswell check out our interview with him and 5 of his favorite tunes at the moment!

Perc’s top 5 tunes.

Broken beat, hoover stab techno, complete with remixes from Skirt and myself.

A 4/4 kick of death and a few glitches, nothing else is needed.

Four killer tracks from one of the UK’s best new producers.   
4. James Hammer – Bang It (Relief)
I’ve recently started playing this out again, the looped title vocal makes it a great tool.
5. Factory Floor – Two Different Ways (Perc Remix) – DFA Records
A honour to remix my favourite new band for DFA. Peak time, feedback-drenched techno.



So Ali, what have you been up to most recently as Perc?

Well, my first EP since my album came out about a month ago. It’s called ‘A New Brutality’, it was important to do something that made a statement after Wicker & Steel and I’m really happy with how that EP has been received. Apart from that I’ve mainly been remixing, including Truss on Perc Trax, Factory Floor on DFA and I’m working on a remix for Electric Deluxe right now.. Read full article here
