Turntable Soul Music
~ Belleruche

Description

 Belleruche are a fantastic new signing to Tru Thoughts. They describe their sound as handmade hip hop blues soul, like Sarah Vaughan, Charlie Christian and Cut Chemist stuck in a dusty second hand record store with wine and a sampler, Belleruche make Turntable Soul Music.

Their sound is pure soulful jazz with scratches aplenty and the result is like a weird trawl through a dusty basement full of the best records you have never heard of, whilst a voice you cant quite pin down sings hooks you cant forget.

Belleruche are Kathrin deBoer (vocals), Ricky Fabulous (guitar) and DJ Modest (decks). The band was formed after Ricky and Modest, who played bizarre turntable and guitar sets in London bars, bumped in to Kathrin in the market one day. She did some singing over a cup of tea with the pair and Belleruche was formed. The trio have attracted attention from luminaries in the UK underground music scene; with vocalist Kathrin deBoer recording tracks with DJ Vadim and performing with the Bonobo live band, and remixing tracks for labels including The Elephant, Trojan & Quannum.

Belleruche have previously released a handful of extremely limited 7” records on their own Hippoflex label including the latest Four Songs EP.
