IMG_4330.JPG

LTD- 4: HAINBACH - CELLO PATTERN
Absolutely stunning C50 from Berlin's Stefan Paul Goetsch. Spacious and restrained, there is an eerie yet playful vibe to these organic, folkloric passages. Ivory cassettes, in an edition of 100.

LTD-5: SHASTA CULTS - ARGUMENTS FOR TRIVIALISM
Captivating ambient / drone C45. Highly detailed textures and washes of color in a matte white cassette. 100 copies.

Also, for those of you who missed out on our last batch, now's your chance to catch represses of both DELIBLE and KARL FOUSEK's recent releases, both with new artwork. 

LTD-2: DELIBLE
This self-titled cassette sees founding Jane's Addiction member, Eric Avery, explore less traditional sonic territory with modular synthesizers and some pretty gorgeous effects chains. Second edition. 100 copies.

LTD-3: KARL FOUSEK - ONE ANOTHER
New solo work from montreal's Karl Fousek, who has sold out several stellar releases on Denmark's Phinery Tapes, Canada's Adhesive Sounds, and most recently, his collaborative effort as Fousek / Hansen / Tellier-Craig for LA's Spring Break Tapes. Second edition of 100 copies.

All tapes are lovingly dubbed in-house, in real-time on chrome cassettes.

Orders go up tonight. Tapes ship within 14 days.

Top 5 Tapes: 2016

Another year starts to wind it's way down, and again, our attention turns to reflect up on the previous months' releases. There were quite a few that really stood out for me this past year. Several albums required a resting place in close proximity to my decks. These 5 cassettes are the ones with the most wear.

 

  • Joel Danielsen - Lines Of Withdrawal / The Possibility of Resonance (Total Black).
    I had the rare opportunity to play alongside Joel a new years ago. I played, in my mind, a terrible set that evening and that was even before he took the stage. His performance that night was elegant and showed much restraint. Like that performance, this cassette exemplifies the close attention he pays to every detail. 

 

  • XAKATAGAWA - Vol. 2 (Nostilevo).
    This tape is described as "Ambient delirium disintegration playing very far away, under water, or from behind walls." by the label, and I'd say that's apt. Nostilevo fails to mention just how haunting and punishingly sad the tone is overall. Highly recommended.

 

  • Grozny Penthouse - The Death Of Objects (Muza Muza)
    Minimal reptition. Heavy and deafening techno from Newcastle Upon Tyne artist Grozny Penthouse. 

 

  • Cinema Perdu ‎- A Perfect Negative (Audio. Visuals. Atmosphere.)
    This double CS clocks in at just under 2 hours of music. Field recordings and manipulated classical music used as source audio for this beautifully negative collection of work.
