DAS DING "Sequencer" (DHF)

This tape features 4 new tracks from Danny Bosten, who resuscitated his Das Ding alias a few years ago after over 25 years of inactivity. It's a relatively short EP but I keep flipping it over, it's just that good. These appropriately titled "Sequences" are simple but hypnotic explorations of modular synth & drum machine patterns, with plenty of dubbed-out ambience to set the mood... and what a nice mood it is! Right on the border between "chilly" and "chilled-out", with the best moments echoing Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works. It's is not a far stretch from his more minimal electro-wave tunes but the stripped-down/technoid sound could make this appeal to a wider audience. Limited to 50 copies, don't miss out!

It should be obvious, this is a webzine we created to put cassette releases and the format of cassette itself on a pedestal. We are not doing this to be some sort of cassette snob, more-DIY-than-thou elitists or anything. We are doing it because all the formats that sound can be presented on are exciting and provide unique ways of shaping the listeners experience... so it is a shame that any one of these formats would fall by the wayside. Cassettes provide a listening experience that is similar to vinyl because of the intermission/moment of pause created by changing sides of the tape, but can be of almost any length between 30 seconds a side to an hour. Tapes can also be listened to in a car or while jogging.
While today this format helps keep the home label alive, its almost a dream to remember that once every musician from Michael Jackson to REM had their releases on cassette. Cassettes were a legitimate format, not just for the DIY underground. Maybe we (thats you too) are the last guardians of this format. Maybe someone, someday will popularize cassettes again. In the meantime we keep the reels turning. A little offering because at least there are a few of you that know there is more than one god of this land.
