Originally conceived on the streets of Hackney, and properly finished off in a Leipzig squat, this hissing masterpiece six track EP by Tapes is spooling Jahtarian low-end goodness in fast forward mode. Magically clashing 80s digital dancehall (‘Gold Love Riddim’, ‘C20 Riddim’), ultra-wonky beats (‘Hackney Dub’, ‘Lowry Dub’) and amazing BBC Radiophonic Workshop / 60s library music aesthetics (‘Ticker Tape’, ‘Good Thing You Came Along’) this record is buzzing with bass-charged particles and funky surprises galore. All tracks have been faithfully mastered to cassette and back again, so you better switch off that dibby-dibby noise reduction and turn the amp up into the red before you set off on a journey that will reel your mind and shake your booty. Jackson "Tapes" Bailey also runs the ultra-collectable C8-cassette label and the stunning Bassbin project.
