Listener, 

You caught me. Sometimes I’m just not good enough at covering my steps behind. Double homicide it is, cue the meme. That of course, if you heard the previous tape you’d understand that we are standing on a criminal sonic journey. 

TAPE019 is the one before the twentieth and it gives me great pleasure to introduce you to it. Would I consider it a baby, maybe. Would you consider me your baby? Do you want to pay for my school? I guess we can keep our roles then… me the clown and you the consumer of here this entertainment  honey of TAPE019. 

TAPE019 introduces an hour sonic journey filled with some oomph. Ideally if you were going on a journey this would be somewhere you’d consider lost but hey this is.. yeah. Okay want another bump? type of vibe. It’s rather a special treat for you because for most, you need mama to feed you a spoon at a time and I can’t always do that—instead, I’ll be feeding your ears with a set focused on the modular side of things. With minimal (count two) of productions and a laundry list of multitrack tools, loops and grind. It’s honestly a pretty cool set and I hope that your ears get wet from it. 

Please note that this set is providing an eccentric sound that spans eras and instrumentations… Flip the key and get lost.

Tools: 
✦ Multitracks Instrumentation 

-  Prophet-5 drone: breathes beneath the mix, gluing every other layer together.
-  70s soul Rhodes vamp: Warm gospel-blues phrase that slips in during lulls, grounding the floor in nostalgia before the next climb.
-  Motown piano: Bright, one-bar turnaround used as punctuation
-  Disco horn burst: Three-note brass fanfare that kicks open big drops like a glitter cannon of confidence.
-  Orchestral flute-and-brass: lush symphonic chords that signal the final crescendo, splashing Technicolor across the mind’s eye booboo.
-  New-wave guitar:  Razor-edged, chorus-soaked riff that slices through lush sections with sudden punk attitude.
- Spanish guitar: a ‘rasgueado’ that flares at emotional peaks like a flirtatious smoke ring.
-  Post-disco handclap-conga groove: human swing layered under synth sections, adding earthy warmth to machine precision.

✦ Vocals 

- “Higher” vocal sample: Beyoncé’s single-word cry, stretched in reverb to act as a beacon of lift-off.
- ​​Woo (acapella) by Rihanna 

✦ Loops

-  Early electro drum loop: dry, machine-tight kicks and hats that inject the first surge of kinetic snap, later flipped for a halftime head-fake.
-  Broken-beat techno loop: metallic, syncopated kicks and ghost snares that wobble the pulse and keep dancers on their toes.
-  Minimal synth loop: an eight-step bleep line in feedback, forming a hypnotic eye-of-the-storm before momentum returns.
-  Rubbery 808-bass riff: a slithery two-note glide that restores cheeky swagger after blow-out peaks.
