Cotb With Greg Belson Jake Miller Jake The Tailor

On Sunday 14th April we welcome long-time friend and regular guest selector Greg Belson back to Color One Tear Black, and Jake Miller & Jake Taylor for their first session.

For over twenty years, Greg Belson has dedicated himself to exploring long-overlooked gospel sounds that lean heavily towards soul, funk, and disco, and is without doubt the global authority. His Divine Chord radio show on LA's dublab has been running for over ten years now and has the distinction of no track ever having been played twice (shows are archived on dublab.com). Greg is also the compiler of the Divine Disco album series, and works with COTB’s David Hill on gospel compilations – their next is Checker Gospel for the Honest Jon’s label, which is due early 2024. It's always an education when Greg's behind the decks, and we look forward to more off-radar sweet and deep gems.

Joining Greg will be Jake Miller and Jake the Tailor (check out his Jake’s brand shirts) from London’s Ram Jam crew. Both are fanatical about soul and Jamaican sounds, and it’s our pleasure to welcome them for their COTB debut.

COTB residents Claire Kalvis, Jim Edwards, David Hill and JM will also be spinning alongside Greg, Jake and Jake on 14th April.

Set up in February 2016 by Thierry Cochet, AKA Dr. Kruger (nts radio), Color One Tear Black celebrates group harmony, mellow steppers, sweet and deep soul music, all played on original issue 45s by resident DJs Dr Kruger, Claire Kalvis, Jim Edwards, David Hill, JM and monthly guests.

COTB runs on the second Sunday of each month at The Paradise, 19 Kilburn Lane, London. W10 4AE.
