Having attracted plenty of attention from all parts of the world with their remixes and a series of dazzling singles of their own Norwegian heroes Butti 49 aka Snorre Seim and Oyvind Jakobsen finally release their debut album
Based in Stavanger the Butti's have been a main stay of their hometown scene for several years now with a growing reputation which spread first of all across Norway and then to many other parts of the world. They have already released a series of well received singles, both on their own imprint and on a number of other well respected labels such as Guidance and Nuphonic which spread the word even further. In addition Snorre and Oyvind's services have been much in demand as remixers, their list of remix credits is extensive, so far they have been in action with such heavyweights as Kyoto Jazz Massive, Nu Spirit Helsinki, Sirius B, and Ennio Morricone to name but a few. And if that's not enough their music has also been featured on numerous compilations including DJ Spinna's Raiding the Crates on Shadow Records, Compost Records, DNM and many more

Their first full length album features Butti's inimitable and eclectic mix of funk, soul, beats, breaks, electronica and jazz the end result of which is, it has to be said, a very fine album indeed. From the frenzied guitar rythms of Kongo Mongo to the more atmospheric Alan Accelerates the 49ers showcase an exciting array of musical flavours which manages to pull off that always difficult trick of presenting an appetising variety of musical flavours which all complement each other and hang together as a cohesive album. Vocal duties on the album are taken care off by a number of guests including Emo, who has already released his own highly acclaimed album on Stereo Deluxe, and Mayia James who was first discovered working as part of Phil Ashers Restless Soul collective and has subsequently featured on recordings with Nathan Haines, Kyoto Jazz Massive and Mark De Clive Lowe. Mayia is of course the vocalist on the first single taken from the album, " Incurable ", with Emo providing vocals on their second single “Flying”.
