buttering trio, founded in 2010, consists of kerendun on vocals and tenor saxophone, rejoicer on loops and synths and beno hendler on bass. all three band members are also producers, mostly active between tel aviv and berlin. combining colourful studio productions with sweet yet poignant lyrics, the trio rearranges the definition of beat making, mixing up all genres. the new album threesome was recorded in three different studios in three different cities london, berlin and tel aviv, during 2015 and 2016. it is the bands 3rd lp released on raw tapes records (not including their 1st ep party bear).

this releases includes little goat and ana bhebak, two middle-eastern-influenced tracks, which naturally came together for this special release. a take-off for the fusion of the old arab classic music with the new beat making, middle east meets west in this release, from buttering trio s temporary point of view.

batov records is thrilled to announce the release of ‘middle eastern grooves’, a double gatefold lp compilation of standout tracks from the label’s highly successful series of 7” singles released under the same name, hand selected by label co-founder dj kobayashi. spanning from 2015 to the present day, the compilation features a mix of classic favourites, new releases, and neverbefore- heard gems from some of the most talented emerging artists.
