For the second installment of Fish Tapes new ‘Tapes’ series, they invite long time favorites and friends to make an attempt at capturing the essence of our beach gatherings. Slowly working our way up in energy, this tape is an answer to the question of what an evening should sound like.
Starting cheerfully with Fish Tapes’ own Seake and his distinctive sound, we emulate the early evenings, where things are slowly starting off. People come in, order their first refreshments and make their first moves. SYIRD & VAAGUE’s ‘Lapsang’ builds up a tempo with heavy synths and proper build-ups, for Conrad Sound’s ‘Strom’ to take away any doubts by hesitant dancers. Cyan Lu brings us back with an introspective take on club music, with dreamy vocals provided by the stellar Truphi, giving us some breathing room before Eycee really breaks up the evening with his reinterpretation of a more-than-classic vocal. Finally, there’s only one mul/ANNA to drive us home, making her production debut, almost certain to create a bigger buzz around her than there already is. The result? An auditive evening you can replay endlessly.
