Although our last post was a TreeFNGR tune from a couple of weeks back (it’s been sat in the outbox whilst studies have taken over) - here is the brand new tune dropped on the soundcloud today. Known to me as ‘Klut (1st Demo)’ since I’ve been playing it in my sets - but apparently rebranded as ‘I’m TreeFNGR’ - this one, with it’s hypnotic vocal samples and more gully vibes on the beat, certainly provides a solid introduction into the mind of the anonymous producer (or producers?).
Download it, get it in your life yeh.

Elusive and anonymous producer TreeFNGR has offered up a second free tune, titled ‘Five Ticks’. Carefully chopped vocals and burial-esque vinyl crackles placed alongside atmospheric synthesis, leading to an unexpectedly phat bassline - we’re not particularly keen on futile permutations of genre names, and this is certainly a prime example of why - drawing heavily on dubstep and UKG, but underlaid with a decisive house beat.
Listen and download below - and keep an eye on TreeFNGR - big tings a gwaan.

Last Friday the Buff Basslines crew went over to Badnews in Glasgow to see Coki, Benji B, Pangaea, Phaelah and Mungo’s Hifi tear the roof off the Arches, so unfortunately we weren’t able to make the show.
However, to make it up to you, Belch and Albert Gravel went back to back on the decks and recorded you a radio show, which moves from some soulful detroit house through militant two step garage and ends with a whole load of dubstep, with a usual emphasis on the biggest and best bass tunes we could come up with.
So feel free to listen and download at your leisure - and we’ll be back live in the studio this Friday from 9pm with more of the same.

A stellar FACT mix from UK house music innovator, Bob Bhamra under his newest alias, West Norwood Cassette Library - producer and self-titled label owner deservedly coming to the fore with his raw and distinctive sound.
This one has really had me grooving - a whole host of beautiful dubplates and the Karenn tune “Chaste Down” from their debut (which I reviewed last week).
