Release November 15: ”TAPE FIVE is back with classic Electro Swing in its own style for our long-time listeners. Driving swing, rolling clarinets & a screaming trumpet in a filmish scene.…and they all grooved happily ever after.”

Here comes a new Tape Five classic electroswing song. Staying true to our beginnings: Party ballroom atmosphere – dancing sax and clarinet lines weaving around percussive horns and thundering drum rolls. Modern cool without the plastic.

Release September 01 on Apple Music – “This is a Dolby Atmos version of our successful Electro-Swing song “Bad Boy Good Man” – of which we just did a 2023 remix of our own. TAPE FIVE has always been interested in fully exploiting the sonic stage of a recording… this is our first endeavour into this new sonic dimension (Dolby Atmos mix by Jakob Himmelein from the famous Peppermint Park Studio in Hanover, Germany). Let’s see how it will evolve in the future.”
