For a while I have been a huge fan of the online body of work that is ‘Tape-Echo ‘- a true platform of raw, underground, electronic music. Hot off the press is the first issue of the Tape-Echo publication – a full colour, 32 page newspaper.

Compiled by some truly underground Bristol based heads, the Tape-Echo’s work is both compellingly informative and originally presented. A passion for keeping things raw and analogue shines through with Tape-Echo, from their vinyl only radio show on Sunday evenings on Hivemind FM, to this brand new print press newspaper that features articles on Dubloaded, Darkestral, Outboxx, and BRSTL.

The newspaper has been produced in a time-honoured fashion and the effort put into the project is clear to see. The publication is available now at selected record stores, or online at Tape-Echo.
