Buttering Trio

Buttering Trio sounds like the intersection of a smoky Berlin basement and a sun-drenched Tel Aviv beach. Their music is anchored by incredibly thick, 'fat' basslines that provide a physical weight to otherwise ethereal and airy compositions. It is soul music that has been disassembled and put back together using the logic of hip-hop loops and psychedelic jazz, resulting in a sound that is both deeply grounded and pleasantly unmoored.

What makes them truly distinctive is the interplay between KerenDun’s gentle, almost whispered vocals and the sharp, technical precision of the production. While many neo-soul acts lean into polished perfection, this trio embraces a certain 'dusty' quality, allowing saxophone trills to bleed into synth pads and drum machine patterns to feel like they are breathing. It is a highly tactile listening experience where you can feel the vibration of the strings and the air in the woodwinds.

Start with the album 'Jam' to hear them at their most cohesive and inviting. It captures the essence of their studio-born chemistry, offering a perfect entry point into their world of 'desert funk.' It is the kind of music that doesn't demand your attention with volume, but earns it through intricate textures and a relentless, hypnotic groove.
