Sticky Tapes

Sticky Tapes is a seasonal mixtape series. Four times a year we ask our favourite selectors to compile a mixtape in the ambiance of the seasons.

@jefhecker: "Autumn has always been my favourite season. Cripsy, misty, golden, like a second spring, when every leaf is like a flower. I tried to fuse these characteristics into a musical journey. The journey holds a wide variety of music, ranging from rarities and accessible pieces. 
My essence of autumn is reflected within these songs. The purpose of this journey is to calm the body and the mind and put you in an autumnal mood."

Sticky Tapes 9 - Autumn - Jef Hecker

Sticky Tapes is a seasonal mixtape series. Four times a year we ask our favourite selectors to compile a mixtape in the ambiance of the seasons.
Starting off the series is our own Mario Marini, who takes us on an hour and a half long journey through his colourful autumn dreams.

"I tried to capture the dreamy autumn vibes within the boundaries of my record collection. This hour and a half are filled with some of my favourite, dearest & coolest records! Some euro bin records and some not so euro bin records. Some hard to find records and also some records that you can for sure find in one of your local record stores.
Field recording, folk, library, balearic jazz-funk, breezy brazilian folk, bossanova (by a swiss schlager singer!!), dutch delights, soweto balearic, free-funk, new-age, spanish emo banger & more!

Recorded at home with: reloop turntables, shure whitelabel + orthophon needles,  omnitronic trm-202, tascam dr-40. 

Thanks for listening,

Xxx Marini"

Second in the series are two young boys from Delft, that provide us with some much needed musical relief in these times of isolation. Starting off the journey with hopeful sounds, depicting a bright future of togetherness. From there on, they guide us towards the sweaty and dark basements of the world, filled with repetitive, machine-like sounds, that we all already miss so much. Enjoy!

Sticky Tapes 2 - Winter - Pokko Elective

Third in the series is one of the founders of Plakband, Ralph Could Be:
"From the roots of Mount Fuji where the cherry blossom covers the land with a pink blanket, to the top high in the sky where dragons fly. In this two hour sound podcast Ralph Cunt takes you through a selection of his favourite Japanese music. His fascination for Japanese music comes with a fascination for the country itself. The way this country gives its own touch to literally everything. When artists like Haruomi Hosono and his Yellow Magic Ochestra took American Groove music and turned it into their own cosmic waves, there was no turning back. The synths and strange rhythms in Japanese 70’s fusion jazz and 80’s pop will take you away!

Fourth in the series is Bart Eichholtz AKA Tache, known for his tropical selections and the Rotterdam nights l'Afrique Discothèque. For his summer soundtrack he compiled a mix that feels much like returning back home from an exotic summer holiday, without a worry in the world. Those kind of trips are good for the soul, as is this mix. Best enjoyed sipping a caipirinha in your hammock. Or in your office chair, reminiscing those sunkissed moments. Enjoy!

Sticky Tapes 4 - Summer - Tache

All the colours are changing, autumn is here! 🍂🍁

Where our own Mario Marini once kicked off the series with a great autumn soundtrack, one year later the o;Riordan brothers follow suit with their musical interpretation of the season. Sharing their recent finds and all time favourites in spirit of the season which, according to the brothers, is characterized by transition. Leaves are falling, colours are changing, nature is getting ready for winter. The result is a very special and personal ride, filled with deep & melancholic soul-jazz with the right dose of funk, played straight from the heart. Enjoy!
