Jackson Bailey—who’s been active across a wide range of projects, including a release on Estonia’s Mida and a new Rezzett album featuring the long-anonymous Lukid on The Trilogy Tapes—makes his return to Jahtari. An unprecedented sense of funk. Fans of electro, boogie, video game music, exotica, electronic music, and psychedelic sounds will all find something here. A new frontier for TAPES. Highly recommended.

Heavy hitting SNES-Funk album from Tapes, returning to Jahtari for his first full length LP with eight solid 16bit Slap Crackers! TIP!
Constructed with data rips from Super-Nintendo ROMs, a Sequential Circuits Drum Tracks and a heavy dose of Kawai K1, each of these gems unfold into epic compositional mastery reminiscent of 1980s Japanese kids TV, with sparkly sprinkles of synth wizardry thrown on top.
‘Funk Plates Vol. 1’ sees Tapes depart as a riddim driven Digi-Dub contributor with a sharp handbrake U-turn on the Neo high way to funky-town. A perfect soundtrack for a spaced out Sunday morning and just as potent on the club hifi! (Quack!)

Tapes, formerly signed to the label Jahtari—which combined “Jah,” a symbol of the Rastafarian movement, with “Atari,” the iconic early computer and video game brand, to produce 8-bit dancehall and reggae—is releasing new music via Jahtari for the first time in a while. It’s an album! From 8-bit to 16-bit. A unique sound that updates the 80s synth-funk sound with SLAP BASS. Genius music. Don’t miss it. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
