Ten albums in, TAPE FIVE presents Gold Standard.
A title that sets the bar high – not by following standards, but by creating its own. Blending Swing, Soul, Funk, Electro Swing, Exotica and the unmistakable retro flair that has defined TAPE FIVE from the very beginning, Gold Standard celebrates timeless style while keeping both feet firmly in the present. The journey continues…
💫 In a world (especially politicians) gone completely mad (but resistance is growing!) it’s not the worst to have Summertime and some relaxed album work.🌸 TAPE FIVE Album ten, by the way. Should be there late September 😎…. Cheers 🍋
There we are with a track of our forthcoming album number ten… the “tape number five” version of that 80s classic. Lots of numbers? Yes, music is mathematics, but thats another story… Cheers!
Yes, its inspired by the Andrews Sisters… and No… its not about Company “G”ermany. But we are not singing about the same company “B” as the Andrews did… Ok, enough confusion?! Just listen, ride & roll…!
Be prepared… Aside from all these matters, I am working with some selected mates on album ten, X, or whatever it will be called! All the best for 2026!
“Soon the party is over”. Yes, watch out! 😉 Tired of all these party, champagne blabla lyrics? Keep on celebrating, but think about it…
…the next single. What else?! Yes, of course also part of the next album. A Hamster wheel? Yes, maybe. A Sisyphus work? Yes, sure. But hey, thats life…
Here is a fresh blend of Swing & Funk from TAPE FIVE, the “pioneer of Electro Swing”, what more can I say! Release July 11
But having a little break now… fantastic May with all that flowers… not feeling the grip to work… more “dolce far niente”… But started a funky remake that will go out as a single soon… Cheers & peace
„Fizzy Far Niente“ – what the heck??? Yes, there were other working titles to describe this daring musical mixture, but nothing made us giggle like the funny sounding combination of a “Dolce Far Niente” garnished with some “fizzy” champagne bubbles. Available on February 07 on all digital platforms.
