Together they deliver Gummy Dreams.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Butter Sessions","offers":[{"title":"12\" - Black","offer_id":52956009136459,"sku":"R3109-4474","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/cover-1.ki_2b79f76a-4c0b-4dce-a329-051b2e18e3fb.jpg?v=1752947618"},{"product_id":"the-arboretum","title":"The Arboretum","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn \u003cem\u003eThe Arboretum\u003c\/em\u003e, Analogue Attic co-founder Alex Albrecht leans further into the dancefloor, channelling the more hypnotic and driving energy that Butter Sessions is known for.
