Belleruche - The Liberty EP
(12" + 10-track bonus CD) Tru Thoughts TRUEP207, 2009-03-01
Lifting the lid on Belleruche's hotly anticipated third album, due later this year, The Liberty EP provides a first ever release for two stunning new tracks from the sessions. The highly covetable 12" vinyl EP with a bonus 10 track CD also features breathtaking and previously unreleased acoustic versions of The Itch and The Duck and a host of new remixes of classic Belleruche tracks by producers including label-mate Hint and 'remixer to the stars' Aldo Vanucci, offering an eclectic and fresh alternative take on Belleruche's catalogue.

A covetable premium package, presented in a hardback booklet boasting all three CDs and 24 pages stuffed with glossy photos and juicy tales, this comp is simply a must-have for the ardent army of Tru Thoughts fans, and for those less familiar it is a catch-all introduction to one of the UK's foremost independent record labels.

Various - Shapes 09:01
(2xCD/Double vinyl with Double CD) Tru Thoughts TRUCD194/TRULP194, 2009-06-08
Tru Thoughts' first Shapes compilation of 2009 is a rather massive 29 track double CD collection, featuring a selection of current highlights, remixes and exclusive tracks from acts including Quantic and his Combo Bárbaro, Bonobo, Belleruche, The Bamboos, Nostalgia 77 Sessions featuring Keith and Julie Tippett, Kinny, Stonephace and all the excellent artists currently signed to the roster, of which there are far too many to mention in one coherent sentence. Suffice to say, over the two discs - arranged into 'home listening' and 'DJ' modes - there is plenty of great music for your ears and dancefloors, from minimal soul through downtempo beats and lush jazzy vocal tracks to floor-filling basslines.

DJ Vadim - U Can't Lurn Imaginashun
(CD) Barely Breaking Even (BBE), 2009-05-11
"If you want to make beautiful music, you must play the black and the white notes together." [Richard M. Nixon]
Not many - if any - musical biographies open with quotations from
Richard M. Nixon. But DJ Vadim, a.k.a. the John Coltrane of hip hop,
ain't exactly your average 'round-the-way' producer. A veteran
traveller and quality purveyor of head-nodding beats, Vadim has 4 solo
albums, 2 group albums (One Self; The Isolationist), a remix album,
countless mix tapes/CDs, EPs, remixes plus a slew of 12s and 7s under
his heavyweight belt. Needless to say, though producer/DJ's these days are a dime-a-dozen, a
veteran like Vadim is not the kind o' cat to release 12 tracks of the
latest in-vogue soul loop. In fact his new album, "U Can't Lurn
Imaginashun" is one of the sickest joints on the block, continuing -
and embellishing - the producer's inventive journey into the realm of
sound. Anyone that knows anything about Vadim knows to expect the
unexpected, and "UCLI" has surprises - and dopeness - in abundance.

Paris DJs Soundsystem - Is That Jazz?
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) T.I.M.E.C., 2009-03-11
This mix started as a 'Hip Hop vs Jazz' mix and soon evolved into a '21st Century Swing' selection. But then we figured we really loved our b-boy caps and decided to go towards turntablism, playing around with jazz samples and more cut'n'paste of swinging beats. Props to Ali B of Air Recordings for releasing such quality 45s - we played one in this mix and licenced two others for the 'It's The New Hip Hop Thing' compilation out now (Vibrations/Harmonia Mundi)! More friendly UK labels are here too with Belleruche from Tru Thoughts and Mike-L from First Word...

4 Track DJ Promo Review :
Natural Self - The Rising (Bullion Remix)
A CRUNCHY remix fusing psychedelic funk & breakbeats on a devastated warfield. Full TRIPPING - as if The Chemical Brothers had been hooked on funk and hip hop from day one...
Spanky Wilson & The QSO - Waiting For Our Touch (Domu Remix)
A soul neoclassic remade into disco - you wouldn't suspect that from broken beat after Domu. Push the bass to the limit and watch the floor go nuts!
Belleruche - Reflection (Trus' Me Remix)
It's quite unusual to hear Kathrin deBoer dressed in 4/4 classy housey beats - which should give ideas to many producers soon... Also available on the 'Black Gold EP'.
Me&You - Wouri River (Redeyes Mix)
Can you get enough of Me&You? Rob Luis & TM Juke have stumbled upon a formula for making the dancefloor crazy - bootay, feets and mind! Their afro drum'n'bass track 'Wouri River' gets the heavyweight treatment from Southwest of France's drumaster Redeyes (Bingo Beats).
