Shell Tape Mix Series

Recorded at Crab Claw's spiritual home in North Perth, Speed Ferret throws down a hop skipping hour of ambience, left field house and techno, UK flavoured bass and few tongue in cheek curveballs.

Shell Tape 01 - Speed Ferret

The second edition of Shell Tapes sees big boss Crabbe splice together swirling psychedelic house with raw, in your face club sounds and a healthy dose of contemporary acid.

A Perth export now residing in Melbong, Tim Gauntlett presents this third edition of Shell Tapes. Warm and hazy music for winter (or summer) afternoons, settle into a groove and let this playful hour of dusty house, disco and worldly sounds that span afro-beat through to Japanese city pop deftly slide a smile onto your face.

Shell Tapes returns an with intense, powerful and, above all else, thoroughly enjoyable half hour of power from Verity. A sonic reflection of the Winter just passed, growling left-field techno is deftly mixed with thump-in-your-boot electro, haunting breaks and contemporary rave sounds.

Isolation is in, partying is out (unfortunately). 
To fill that gap, Shell Tapes is back with friendly selections and even friendlier selectors. Restarting the series and logging the fifth tape is the inimitable Wil Bixler. 
A cornerstone at the Perth institution that is RTRFM, (youthful) veteran of the WA and Australian scene and mentor and mate to many, he’s presenting eighty five minutes of choice new releases, so hold tight for a slick and eclectic ride that runs through hazy hip-hop, all the way through to manic jungle and beyond. Yosh!

Picture a drumhead - its membrane stretched taught over a seemingly endless container of energy below. Swirling with dense, palpable and pent up power this hollow goes on forever. Matt DZP (@matt-percic) calmly plumbs these depths on Shell Tape 48, keeping a steady hand and clear head all the way through. 

Devoutly remaining in the low end of town, this week's mix consists of carefully bottled bassweight and gentle but constant pressure - it's a slow burn from tripsy start all the way to it's upper tempo finish. Dubwise mutations, junglist offshots and mind bending dancefloor psychedelia all combine in a heady multi-origin blend that delivers an immediate hit.

Impeccably mixed with clinical skill and taste, "Murky Brews" traces a path from the rave's doors opening to it's smoky sunlit ending. Plant yourself in front of the largest speaker stack you can locate and soak it all up - this is one to get the bassbins firing.
