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!

I just wondering, because 2 days ago Soul Strut got a new Look&Feel and now I’ve discovered that Royal Groove also relaunched their website. Well done dudes! Click here… Maybe it’s time for One Take Tapes to do a relaunch…?

The World famous Website “Soulstrut.com” got a new Look&Feel. Looks great. Have a look on Soulstrut.com.

Yesterday, I listen to an old episode of Gilles Peterson Podcast where he played some tracks by Elan Mehler, a great Jazz Pianist from Brooklyn NYC.
And what is the music about…“An introspective beauty, this is the record I’ve been dying to release for years.” Gilles Peterson

Oh yes! Some hours ago I’ve bought “Scheme For Thought” at my local record store and had a first tune in his beautiful compositions. Sounds warm and gives you a laid-back feeling. Best music for cold, dark winter months. Trust in me!!!

I’ve updated the One Take Tapes Podcast with a mix from the past.  So, subscribe here to the feed and listen to the “Deep Punch” Mixtape.

Two weeks ago I went to the Netherlands to check out some Records Stores. What I’ve found and bought (besides some other vinyls) is a compilation called “The Morning Side Of Love Vol. 2″. This little treasure (I love great compilations) is selected and compiled by Umbi Damiani for IRMA Records Italy.

The Morning Side Of Love is a deep and lascivious journey through Jazz, Soul and orchestral sounds from the past and a cut above the Mellow Mellow Compilations by Harmless Records.

Some of the tracks could be music from the recent years and I suggest you listen to such sounds on Sunday mornings after you’ve dreamed something beautiful…

After some days of daily business, travel time and a stay in Munich I am back in Cologne, sitting in front of my computer and wanna write now some lines about Kutiman’s upcoming LP on the 26th October. Do you already know Kutiman? No?!

Ophir “Kutiman” Kutiel is a 25 year old musician, composer and producer from Tel Aviv. An all-in-one-Talent: He plays drums, keyboards, guitar and bass. And yes, he makes it well!

He does Music for Bboy’s, BeatHeadz and laid-back people with demand for good music from the heart and soul. “Kuti tries to be with his music.”
