ONE TAKE TAPES

Last year in July Tru Thoughts released Belleruche’s debut album Turntable Soul Music. Yes, last year…but I guess it’s not to late to write something about their brilliant debut, because it’s never to late to write about beautiful music!

So let me describe their style in a few words: Belleruche is soulful, jazzy, handmate hip hop with scratches and with a great unique voice of Kathrin deBoer who already recorded tracks with Dj Vadim. It’s Turntable Soul Music…

Soooo, If you like Lamp, Portishead and Cut Chemist then Belleruche will be the next vinyl on your record player. Trust in me…this album deserves cult status, and in a few year’s it will be hard to find a copy!

“Mama Feel Good! are DJs Bobbalin’ Hot & Sister 45 who are united by their love of good-times and soulful music. MFG! celebrates soulful black music, played all on wax and mostly on 7″ vinyl.”
