TOP TAPE
05.31.25

The 5th occasional installment of TOP TAPE RADIO was a hoot. Always present in the show but definitely in droves this time were tapes that would hardly be heard if not for this platform. DIY micro-issues nearly lost to time &/or geography took center stage. Join our cassette jockeys Passive Attack, Megaweapon, Trance Farmers, Cleo Cassettra, Chris Hound, Angel-a, Nanny Cantaloupe, James Fella & Lundy, in that order, for a warm and warbly 4 hours of purely analog exploration.
