So after what seems lke far too long we've finally launched!! 

www.chemicaltapes.com is now live, tell your friends!!!


Here's a bit of info

--

An independent UK/Spain based label established in March 2011. Providing a range of strictly limited edition experimental audio from established artists through to new discoveries. Each release is based on psychoactive phenethylamine chemical derivatives, notably those that act as psychedelics and/or empathogen-entactogens.

All releases are available to purchase securely direct from this site, if you order a cassette you get the high quality MP3 version credited to your account on the digital release date.

320k MP3 / FLAC / WAV releases will usually follow 2 weeks after the physical product.

We open up the lab with batches from the following artists:

Maps And Diagrams takes us back to the analogue kosmische universe with his new album Red Moon Rising. A joyful journey of modulation, movement and deep exploration. An edition of 100 produbbed c30 cassettes.

Indian Weapons (Brad Rose, Nathan Young and Eden Hemming Rose) take us on a journey of radical synth spirits from dark and heavy through to a blissed euphoric finish, entitled Labyrinth and available in an edition of 100 produbbed c30 cassettes.

Machinefabriek provides a hauntingly elegant electronic piece as a soundtrack for Paul Clipson's film Lightmaze. An edition of 100 produbbed c50 cassettes.

 

Forthcoming releases from flotel, relmic statute, drekka, mohave triangles, benge

Quick update, we're not dead, well not yet!

Two new releases out this week.

[ GANESHA] Pleq & Lauki - Perceiving Perspective c30

Experimental artists Bartosz Dziadosz (Pleq) and Mike Lauki (Lauki) combine forces once again to document the delicate middle ground between modern 
compositional structures and widescreen ambient soundscapes. Intro pulls us from the mist and into ethereal piano loops, setting the tone for the album. 
Deconstruccion (Pleq Remix) brings forth the enchanting violin work of Heike Grafe. Perceiving Perspective introduces a more rigid structure with rhythmic ancient machinery. 
The Last Letters evolves into a world of glitched electronics.

[ FLEA ] Benge - Loop Series c30

Fresh from his tour with the legendary John Foxx as part of the ‘John Foxx And The Maths’ lineup, Benge returns to his studio for Chemical Tapes 
and proceeds to cut to the heart of synthesised music. 4 tracks, 4 synthesisers, recorded to tape, creating an alternate utopia of discarded technologies 
where analogue reigns.


Both available from Norman Records (where they gave Loop Series 4/5 stars), Stashed Goods and direct from the label via Discogs.
Our site is currently undergoing an upgrade.

Also we have mixes from artists on the label over at Mixcloud. Drekka, Pleq, Tidal, Maps And Diagrams etc.. have contributed mixes that reflect their influences or music that currently inspires them.

More research chemicals are in the lab and will be out soon, Celer, Tidal, Hakobune, Atlantis, Wind In Willows, Rainbow Valley and more to annouce later.

I hope the Type community enjoys as much as we enjoy putting them out.
