Biography

                            One of the most prolific and influential of the '80s electro artists,
                            Miami-based producer Tony Butler recorded a string of popular
                            club tracks on Power/Jam Packed and his own Music Specialist
                            label in the mid-'80s, helping build the electro legacy that would
                            give birth to Miami-style bass music and freestyle (named after
                            Butler's primary pseudonym), as well as influence '90s
                            post-techno artists such as Autechre and Biochip C . Butler's
                            earlier tracks under his own name are all electro classics, with
                            singles such as "Fix It in the Mix," "Jam the Box," and "Get Some"
                            exploring a thinner, more stripped-down sound similar to Man
                            Parrish and Cybotron .

                            exploring a thinner, more stripped-down sound similar to Man
                            Parrish and Cybotron. Butler's tracks with Freestyle are perhaps
                            the more well known, and include such club staples as "It's
                            Automatic," "Don't Stop the Rock," and "The Party Has Begun."
                            His more commercial, pop-oriented writing and production work
                            with Trinere, Debbie Deb, and Shannon, however, remain his
                            claim to fame. Butler continues to live and record in Miami. --
