About

A TAV Curator's Pick.

Sofie’s SOS Tape is a compilation of underground’s best hip-hop and soul curated by Sofie Fatouretchi, one of the original crew of Boiler Room.

With 24 songs and 26 artists, SOS Tape is an insiders look on emerging acts across the US and abroad: ISSUE (San Francisco Bay Area-based artist and E40’s son) brings space age rap on “Ferrari”; southern producer Stimulator Jones brings R&B stunner “Soon Never Comes.” 

Other standout tracks include the Fred Fades-produced ballad “WatchingYou” which features the incredible voice of New York via Oslo musician Charlotte Dos Santos – a video of this track coming up next week.

Sofie’s SOS Tape ties into her radio show of the same name on the London-based channel NTS. An enticing selection of artists that should be on your radar, this mix brings tracks that otherwise would have stayed floating in DJ sets, shows, and personal mixtapes to the light. – Press Release

“Sofie's SOS Tape is an expansive 24-track double LP of underground heat, ranging from brief beat sketches to spaced-out neo-soul. A handful of the names will be familiar to avid fans of the Stones Throw/Leaving Records universe -- Mndsgn pops up a few times, and artists like Jonwayne, GB (Gifted & Blessed), and Pyramid Vritra are also present -- and several artists on House Shoes' Street Corner Music make appearances as well, but plenty of other artists are new discoveries. Many of the tracks feature the type of crunchy, off-kilter beats normally associated with the underground beat scene, with the crackle of dusty old records ever-present.” – Allmusic
