Shell Tape Mix Series

Twists are great - variety is truly the spice of life. Taking us ever so slightly off the beaten path and away from straight-line midweek monotony, Boorloo local Proc and Tape 88 deviates from classic acid house to jungle by way of rubber-band prog and echoes of dub techno.

There’s no obvious direction that Proc takes on “Plot Twist” and that’s a good thing. The mix sounds and feels instinctual, fun and flighty - pretension, chin scratching and dogmatic adherence to genre is disregarded while great tracks and personal enjoyment take centrestage. It’s all about the vibe, man.

And that vibe is high! It’s exciting, it morphs and turns, shifting tempo, mood and timbre as a colourful pastiche of killer club sounds emerge. Tune in and enjoy - Proc’s coming at you with a bag of peak time sounds on Tape 88.

Shell Tape 88 - Proc - "Plot Twist"

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.

Shell Tape 02 - Crabbe

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 Tape 03 - Tim Gauntlett

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.

Shell Tape 04 - Verity

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!
