FFFINOS

Almost 10 years after their first steps through the old
Dead Basic Studios doors, FFFINOS return!
We welcomed them back with open arms and tuned in once again to their trademark down-tempo grooves and comfy lofi tones. FFFINOS closed up the night at Document 6 with a soft spot for the familiar and the big nod to the scene we’ve been building all these years, it was a pleasure as always

Preost


We hosted “He whom’s bagpipe huffs between the lines of your favourite novelist’s favourite swag rapper” to the studio back in September. It was weird, it was loud and people got into it and danced like freaks. An upbeat and unexpected journey into genres we can only attempt to name. Welcome Preost beats, bags n vocals with a pinch of his usual collaborators.

BUFFEE

In her debut FNW gig, Leeds based BUFFEE brought her signature idiosyncratic, blown out club pop to DBS. A ton of exciting stuff to watch and listen to from a solo artist, sounding big and bad and brilliant, heavy distortion and dancing. Wonderful stuff from BUFFEE and we can’t wait to have her back.

Because curiosity got the better of us.
Microphone: Shure Sm57 only, placed 8” from the point in the speaker where the dust cap meets the speaker cone, being fed the same trusty E Major Chord from a Fender Stratocaster. No processing or EQ. Which one surprised you most?
