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.”

New Single on July 16th!

tape five, a lazy summer day,

It was one of those days… too hot to do anything except chilling and feeling embraced by the warm breeze carrying the sweet smells of summer. Stop the worrying and feel your frown melt into the moment of just being there…with that special somebody sharing it all with you. Well…every perfect scene needs a perfect song… ”A Lazy Summer Day”.
This familiar slow r&b style, that our producer already played back in the early 80s in his roof top rehearsal room seems to be making a worthy come back – and it fits perfectly into TAPE FIVE’s tasty catalogue of vintage vibes and retro re-creation. And by the way… we are also experts in the art of laziness!
So join our international co-conspirators Henrik Wager (English) – Dionne Wudu (African) – Martin Strathausen (German) in this little prayer to laziness. Trust us – we had enough time to practise…
Cheers and keep the good vibes vibrating…

New Single in July!
