Tapes – Summer Jam (EM Records)

“Summer Jam” is back!

A long-awaited repress of this powerful and joyful tune described as “acid pied piper” with new artwork and new flip-side. EM Records is very happy to bring you the favorite tune from the artist known as Tapes, again, here with a 10-inch vinyl/download release that, with its good vibes, positivity and major-key delightfulness, will rescue you from any doldrums you are experiencing, whether personal, societal or cosmic. “Summer Jam” is a solo recordings from 2019, but it soars over the worries of the year, any year, with an up- lifting rhythmic lilt, a positive tonality, non-annoyingly catchy melodies and some lovely sonic textures. There’s something here for fans of bass music, mid-80s-and- beyond electronic music, and toe-tapping good times. There’s a sweet chord progression and background drift in the title track that are particularly pleasing, and the flip-side has some very satisfying “acid” live version with his ally, 7FO that will lovingly catapult you to another major chords heaven. The sun can shine anywhere, anywhen, so enjoy!
