'The Endless Tape Machine' - a monthly live radio show at Cashmere Radio curated by Magïc Müllï and Mad Lubi. Inspired by the analogue tape machines we used to push our first tapes back and forth many years ago.  

We explore music history from then to now, around the globe:
From occult sounds to the avant-garde, from exotic adventures to political statements, from cotton field blues of the 20s to acid house of the 90s. 
Each episode is dedicated to a theme, an artist, a country, a current, a label, a style, a word.... 

Come along on our musical trip, the never-ending tape machine,
never knowing where the next episode will take us.

The Endless Tape Machine #3 - Hot Barbecue

by @magicmuelli & @madlubi

This edition is dedicated to the island of Jamaica and the music played there from 1965 to 1975. When the island was hit by an enormous heat wave at the end of the 60s, legend has it that the fast ska beat developed into a more slow-going sound - rocksteady. What we all associate with the style reggae was to follow a little later. In this issue we play almost exclusively tunes from the defining sound systems and labels of this period - Prince Buster, Studio One / Coxsone & Treasure Isle.

The Endless Tape Machine #4 - Jamaica

by @magicmuelli & @madlubi

This episode takes us to Latin America to the popular sound of cumbia. The traditional folk dance draws its origins from African rhythms that were established by colonial slaves in Colombia, later mixed with indigenous and Spanish elements from there and spread further. Our show travels from 1954 to 2019 through Colombia, Peru & Panama where this music is still popular today. Mainly represented, the label 'Discos Fuentes' the powerhouse of Colombian music, still highly sought after by record collectors today. Plus the legendary groups Los Mirlos & Los Destellos from Peru along with sunny highlights from Panama.

The Endless Tape Machine #5 - Cumbia Mi Amor

by @magicmuelli & @madlubi

The British label 'Planet Dog' is regarded as a pioneer of electronic music, innovative ambient, techno, breakbeat and psychedelic trance. The story begins with a club and the free festival scene of the acid house movement of the 1980s. As a free-space counterpart to the established, strict and rigid London clubs, Michael and Bob organised an indoor festival that developed into a free and colourful cosmos for a diverse cultural scene with music, cabaret, film, art, performance and much more. In 1985, the 'Planet Dog' club opened from this playground. A psychedelic club with expansive, imaginative decoration and an indescribable atmosphere. With the intention of offering the musicians who played in the club a platform, the 'Planet Dog' label was founded in 1993. The main focus here was on the platform concept for the artists and not marketing DJ-friendly formats. The main protagonists included Eat Static, Banco de Gaia, Timeshard, Children of the Bong and Future Loop Foundation.

The Endless Tape Machine #22 - Label Showcase: Planet Dog Records

In this label special, we are focussing on releases from the Jazz and Rhythm ‘n’ Blues label Cadet Records. A sub-label of the independent label Chess Records from Chicago. Founded in the 1950s, Chess Records set the trend for the development of Rhythm and Blues and Rock ‘n’ Roll and is still one of the most important Blues labels today. The success of the label and its sub-labels is due to the fact that they signed musicians and released records that were not the focus of the major labels. They thus offered the artists a space for free musical development. Among the main protagonists who have released on Cadet Records are Ahmad Jamal, James Moody, Dorothy Ashby, Ramsey Lewis, Rotary Connection and many others.

The Endless Tape Machine #36 - Three Years Birthday Show

"The piano chords at the beginning of the track sound familiar; the moment the memory begins to take shape, bizarre organ flashes shoot out of nowhere, completely off beat, shattering the concentration. (...) Suddenly, the whole thing escalates, spiralling completely out of control; echoes circle around the speakers, only to return to relative normality under tight bongo rhythms before a stubborn trombone takes over. And then it gets really interesting."

With this quote from Joe Gibbs in mind, we browsed through our dub archive and present you with the sound from legendary studios such as Black Ark, Dynamic Sounds, Wackie's House Of Music, ... and acclaimed producers Jo Jo Hookim, Jah Thomas, Augustus Pablo, Lee Perry, King Tubby and many more.

The Endless Tape Machine #37 - Bubble It Up On Dub

In this edition, we travel to Ghana, one of our favourite countries for African music. We focus on the 1970s, a very productive phase in the Ghanaian music scene, which at the time was hardly known outside Ghana. Unfortunately, the hopes of many artists for lucrative record deals from abroad were not fulfilled. The only exception is Hedzoleh Soundz, who released their debut album through their collaboration with Hugh Masekela on the American label Blue Thumb. Fortunately, many of these forgotten artists received the recognition they deserved in the wake of the Afro-Funk revival in the early 2000s.
