Belleruche

Belleruche was a modern soul and electronic trio from London, England, known for their unique "handmade hip hop blues soul" sound. Formed in 2005, the group consisted of vocalist Kathrin deBoer, guitarist Ricky Fabulous, and turntablist DJ Modest. They crafted a distinctive style that merged gritty beats and vintage blues with contemporary electronic elements, setting them apart within the UK's music scene.

The band's career launched with the release of their debut album "Turntable Soul Music" in 2007, which defined their signature aesthetic and garnered critical acclaim. Over the ensuing years, Belleruche released a series of albums and EPs that saw them refine their artistry and expand their audience. Their discography includes the celebrated albums "The Express" and "270 Stories," which contributed to their reputation for consistently delivering soulful, rhythmically complex tracks. With songs like "16 Minutes" and "Stormbird," Belleruche cemented their position as purveyors of a refreshingly modern sound rooted in classic soul sensibilities. Although the group disbanded in 2013 after releasing their final album, "Rollerchain," their innovative contribution to the British music scene continues to influence the genre's landscape.
