Hi everybody,

We are very excited to announce a new Tutu Puoane album! It's been a while since she last released original music, but this next project is bound to make up for that for sure.

New songs based on beautiful poems of the great South African writer/artist Lebogang Mashile will be recorded in July 2023 with her band featuring Ewout Pierreux (piano), Clemens van der Feen (bass) and Dré Pallemaerts (drums). The album will be produced by Larry Klein.

Here's a small clip from a pre-production rehearsal/recording session. The poem the song is based on is called My Kind.

To be released in the first months of 2024 - digitally, on CD and on vinyl.

More news soon! Thanks for your support ❤️🙏🏼

Hey everybody,

Our webshop has some limited stock of CD copies available of Tutu Puoane's first two albums 'Song' (2007) and 'Quiet Now' (2010), due to warehouse reorganisations of Saphrane, the label she worked with at the time.

So for all of you who still would like to get their hands on a physical copy of those albums: now's your chance :)

Cheers, thanks for supporting our music and have a wonderful, healthy and happy end of 2022!

Onze collega's van Staminee De Living zijn zo goed ons vandaag onderdak te bieden voor het eerste Hnitaconcert van het jaar.
Gitarist Roeland Celis liet zich al eerder opmerken als lid van o.a. HAST en N∆BOU. Vanavond stelt hij zijn debuutalbum Celestial Planes voor, net uit op SoulFactory Records. Met Lennert Baerts op tenorsax, Hendrik Vanattenhoven op bas en Matthias De Waele op drums brengt hij nog meer fraai volk mee.
Reserveren kan via https://www.hnitajazzclub.be/events/roeland-celis-celestial-planes-b/. Ook aan de kassa zijn er nog kaartjes.

OUT NOW: ‘Celestial Planes’ - Roeland Celis

We are happy to present the debut album of one of Belgium’s finest young guitar players.

What started out as a standards trio, grew into a band with Roeland’s own compositions as base material, drenched in rock and pop.
The dynamic, colourful and powerful unit features Hendrik Vanattenhoven on bass and Matthias De Waele on drums. On the album they are joined by Frank Vaganée (alto sax), Lennert Baerts (tenor sax) and Muriel Urquidi (voice). Challenging music with original harmonies and unexpected melodic twists, yet beautiful and fun to listen to.

Order your physical copy (CD) in our webshop or find it in your favorite record store. In case they don’t have it in stock yet, tell the responsible to order it at our distributor Sonic Rendezvous.

For digital downloads in all kinds of (also hi-res) formats and for streaming, we happily invite you to our new Bandcamp-page.

https://link.soulfactory.be/bandcamp

The album is available on various other streaming services, but we would like to thank you for being aware that there is no better way of supporting independent music/artists than by buying a physical copy and/or buying unlimited digital access to the album on Bandcamp.

For live dates, please visit Roeland’s website (www.roelandcelis.com)

Cheers everybody, and enjoy the music!

Dear all,

It's probably a bit overdue, but better late than never: we started a label page on Bandcamp.

Read all about it here: https://link.soulfactory.be/news-bandcamp

Or go straight there: https://link.soulfactory.be/bandcamp

We of course continue to sell physical copies of our releases via our own website, but we strongly recommend to everybody to head over to Bandcamp for a real sustainable way of digital consumption of our music.

Thanks a lot for your support and we hope to also connect with you over there!

SFR.
