Sydney-based DJ Seymour Butz, visiting Auckland again tonight for this year's HERO Festival, promises to continue his campaign "against the unhealthy diet of feminine, crap, cheesy, inane and banal music that's force fed to homosexuals in saunas, clubs and anywhere else they may congregate." DJ Seymour Butz Alan Granville, co-owner of K' Road men's bar Urge, says it's a pleasure and honour to bring Butts to Auckland "by popular demand" for his fourth time here. "He truly is one of Australia's top DJ's and one of the most in demand around the world. He has packed out Urge each time he has played, and we are expecting more of the same tonight. A night of dirty homo rooting music is guaranteed." Named from a childhood taunt, Seymour Butz says his muscial style is a result of a compulsive need to "hear something masculine, grubby, deep and sexual rather than 'sexy'." From his base at Ken's legendary sauna in Sydney, Butz has travelled from London to the US and beyond spreading his message of "stripping away the glitter, glowsticks, diva's and dramas and bringing back something dark, provocative and predatory to you earhole." "It's music to get all sweaty and grindy to. Raising a gland, not your hands. It's not chill out, its more "warm-in." DJ Seymour Butz is at Urge bar, 420 K' Road, from 9pm on Saturday 9 February. Tickets $10 at the door.
