Tape-Echo Publication Issue 1
After a long time in the making, the first issue of the Tape-Echo publication
is here: a 32 page, full colour, quarter fold newspaper filled with
interviews and features on the most relevant happenings in the underground
electronic music.
The whole Tape-Echo project is based on a love of underground music, DIY
culture and fanzines, this publication is the physical manifestation of our
online work.
The slower pace of the print world gives us the time to compile well
researched, informative and interesting features with bespoke photography
and artwork. Everything in the publication has been commissioned especially
for the issue, from the words to the photographs to the design and
packaging.
Issue One :
Dubloaded -
One of the most influential nights in the UK has decided to call it a day
after 3 years in its current guise. Tape-Echo talks to Pinch & Peverelist to
find out their reasons for stopping the night, get their take on the current
state of ‘Dubstep’, and finally, what the two of them have planned next.
Supported by photographs taken by Alex Digard over a 3 year period,
documenting the night through the years.
Stardelta -
Admit it, you’ve always wanted to start your own record label.
Tape-Echo meets Lewis Hopkin, a veteran of the House music
scene who now owns and runs the Stardelta mastering house.
With over 20 years behind the boards, he gives you an insight into
just how easy and financially realistic pressing
a short run of white labels can be.
Ekoplekz -
Sammy Maine catches up with the man behind such captivating yet
intimidating albums as ‘Intrusive Incidentals Vol.1’ and his collaborative
work with Bass Clef under the Ekoclef moniker, going into detail about
his unique set up and working method.
Darkestral -
A label that avoids any media attention at all costs, having just released
the incredible ‘Last Train to Lexington’ 12”, a piece of sound design based
on DRKSRs short film scripts then given to collaborative partner
‘Transportation AAD’ (Boddika) for sonic interpretation.
We are very pleased to present the original scripts that the tracks were
based on,
a transmission straight from the Darkestral fax machine.

heads.

on the current state of the Bristol House scene.
