Aloha Got Soul's first collab release with the Kakubarhythm label, featuring Japan's Your Song Is Good with Nick Kurosawa and Videotapemusic. 

In May 2017, Aloha Got Soul and Kakubarhythm hosted their first party together with ‘Soul Time in Tokyo’ at Tokyo Cultuart by Beams in Harajuku. 

At the event, Your Song Is Good and Videotapemusic performed an instrumental cover version of Babadu’s “We’re Not To Blame”. Hearing that song reinterpreted by musicians 35 years from the original release date and thousands of miles away from Hawaii gave me chicken skin. 

But the magic didn’t end there. At the end of our DJ set with the crowd yelling “Hana hou!” for one last track, I reached into my record bag and grabbed my OG copy of Babadu LP and dropped the needle on “We’re Not To Blame”. Videotapemusic, JxJx, and Izumi Matsui instinctively picked up their instruments and we closed out the Beams party with a surprise jam session none of us had anticipated! 

When we started planning for 2018, I pitched JxJx the idea of releasing their instrumental cover on a 7-inch. When the final recording arrived, it was around the same time we were recording Nick Kurosawa’s debut EP, so I asked Nick if he’d be down to lend his soulful voice to the instrumental. 

The “Coast to Coast” EP, releasing April 21, 2018 on Aloha Got Soul and Kakubarhythm, represents a unique opportunity for us to connect the past and the present, and as bridge the musical relationship we share between Hawaii and Japan. 

Available in limited quantities.

"We're Not To Blame feat Nick Kurosawa" (excerpt)

„Everything starts with the words: I am – je suis!“

Henning Schmiedt and Marie Séférian, French / German singer of Lebanese descent, team up for a carefully woven, yet fresh and spontaneous collaboration.

Meeting in Henning’s studio Klavierraum in the melting pot Berlin they create this charming post chanson album with a slow music attitude.
Consisting of only first take recordings, it masterfully combines piano, toy piano, harmonium, vocals and electronic textures, resulting in a minimalistic and yet rich and fluid union of sound.

Lyrics are flung into the air like glittering confetti, combining eclectic elements from chanson, Indian vocal scats und jazz with the warmth of the piano and the breathing of the harmonium. The result is a stunning and organic musical interplay.

“Je suis” – I am – everything begins here.

On maison Marie plays a music box that quotes a piece of Henning’s earlier work, nach hause from his release Spazieren, as though to answer and to close the thought’s circle: “I am, I’ve come home.”
