    A serious new release from the Wireblock camp!

    The opening title track sets out the Ghosts On Tape manifesto in fine style, as a classic electro synth line levitates over a tuff glitched beat and b-more break science, dropping to spacious half-tempo finesse for the conclusion. UKF badman Roska is next up with a remix that both cements and develops his style - those Congolese influences ring through from the original, above his signature subs and some vintage Chicago stabs. No PR fluff necessary - this piece hypes itself. On the flip, the speeds are notched down a tad but the groove still dominates. Harsh 606 snares meet dancehall wiggle in 'Equator Jam', as the track melts into a techno breakdown at sub 110 BPM. It's a perfect illustration of the Ghosts On Tape method, where genres represent challenges, not limitations. 'Straight From Cassette' rounds things off with archetypal Marley Marl beats, cut-up vocal ticks and the most delicious bass drum you'll hear all year. This 12" is fresh like a newborn mutant.
