‘Mick’s Tape’ is your ticket to enter the murky, twisted and hilarious world of Cassetteboy. Fans of Chris Morris, Bill Hicks and DJ Yoda (who signed them to the Antidote label) take note. ‘Mick’s Tape’ is Cassetteboy’s first official release, and follows their infamous 2002 debut album ‘The Parker Tapes’ (Highlights included Jamie Oliver confessing to being a self harming, friendless simpleton and David Bowie singing "Here I am shitting in a tin-can") for the ‘Barry’s Bootlegs’ label.

Cassetteboy’s original methods used to involve an immense amount of work editing with a manual pause button tape to tape machine, ‘The Parker Tapes’ compiled 7 years work, adding up to 98 tracks! Needless to say their eventual acquisition of a computer and a cracked copy of the Soundforge editing software has proved a godsend and speeded up the process somewhat.

With ‘Mick’s Tape’ Cassetteboy pick up right where ‘The Parker Tapes’ left off; Tiff Needel advises you on shopping around for a crack ho, Queen Victoria grows a pair of testicles and you’re invited to indulge in a spot of sodomy with your golf lesson. ‘Mick’s Tape’ also includes full length tracks from such diverse Cassetteboy faves as MF DOOM, Fela Kuti, Screaming Lord Such, Squarepusher, Fennesz and Shalamar,

Cassetteboy live gigs are rarer than hens teeth, and have to be seen to be believed. Over the years they have appeared as Mary and Jesus, Bush and Bin Laden and Frank and Pat Butcher, and Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks. They have also played at Glastonbury, Dedbeat, and the Big Chill, as well as an extensive tour of the USA supporting Squarepusher in 2004.

In ‘Micks Tape’ Cassetteboy have created something both hilarious and downright offensive. They represent the attention deficit disorder generation, frantically hacking pop culture to pieces with a digital scalpel and reassembling it in their own twisted image.

In the words of the mighty Tim Westwood “It’s about that time to press play and record…”
