Ghost In The Tapes is a musical project founded by Genshu Fukaya, who is behind the microphone and production and Samy Abboud, multi-instrumentalist and also founder of French electronica band M.A BEAT!.

The unit's creative modus operandi is based on collaboration with diverse instrumentalists and vocalists blended with ever changing production ideas.

Their first project, Happily Confused released in April 2020 on Bindividual and BMM Records, features songs that were recorded around the world, including New York, Tokyo, London and France with local guests.
Since then, the band has moved its base to London at the now legendary Total Refreshment Center, the heartbeat of recent years' UK Jazz scene (with members including Shabaka Hutchings, Nubya Garcia, Yusef Kamaal, Emma-Jean Thackray, The Comet Is Coming, Kokoroko, etc).

The project has pushed the envelope even further while consolidating their identity on their new LP Holidays On Earth, relying more on live instruments and welcoming a whopping 26 guests, such as Danalogue (Comet is Coming, Soccer 96), Matt Gedrych (Emma-Jean Thackray), Marysia Osu (Levitation Orchestra, Laura Misch), Arthur Sajas (Vanishing Twin, Haha Sound Collective), Ermhoi (Millenium Parade, Black Boboi), PremRock (Shrapknel member and Armand Hammer collaborator).

The instrumentals are rich with textures, synthesizers, harps, flutes, strings and vocal harmonies that keep on evolving stylistically, keeping you guessing what's next. You will find post-punk, musique concrète-inspired moments, classical music and jazz nods, drum n bass and boom bap reinterpretations, trip hop and their take on Japanese folk and ambient... all of it amounting to a journey full of left turns.

Topically, Holidays On Earth is about the crew’s perspective on their life transitioning from the quiet days of the pandemic to the burst of euphoria shaping new perspectives, and inner voices that came with settling in a new city and environment. Foreign Extra ties it all up in his last spoken word passage featured in the last track: "I split in two and strive to
bring back the fun from the beginning… Thoughts growing free now making the best the worst and the worst the best".

All tracks composed & produced by Genshu Fukaya & Samy Abboud.
