NEW GOLD DREAMS - From Russia with love. Take a listen to The Tapeaters, i Junior Boys moscoviti

The Tapeaters, named after a naughty tape recorder, is a Russian electro pop / electro funk duo formed in 2009 by Vadim (vocals, gtr., synths ) and Dmitri (synths, talkbox). The Tapeaters’ sound is formed by the warmth of vintage synths, funky vibes, layered airy vocals and talkbox combined together.
The band first got noticed in september, 2009 after the release of their first EP ‘Keep on Dancing’. This record was a combination of 7 tracks with catchy melodies, bouncy groves and the atmosphere of a slightly melancholic happiness. The title track ‘Keep on dancing’ still remains the most listened to. Inspired by positive feedback The Tapeaters didn’t wait long and released their second EP ‘Watch your Step’ in november.
In 2010 The Tapeaters toured Russia, Ukraine, Belorussia and played at the biggest russian music festival alongside The Horrors, Pantha Du Prince, Autokratz and many more. This experience proved that the band is great both on records and live. This was also the year when the collaboration between The Tapeaters and the Colombian design agency Monocromo began. The brilliant designers brought the band’s visual concept to a new level by working on the concept for the releases, their cover art for the releases and the website.
Later that year the band signed a record deal with a Boston based label OMG! Recordings. The first single ‘Oh My’ was released in august with remixes from Moscow producer Kimouts and Boston duo Nightriders, and was named in the 10 must hear indie-dance tracks on Beatport. It was followed by ‘Satellite’, that contained a dreamy funky original track and incredible remixes from Lifelike, Xinobi and Ghosts of Venice. Two weeks later The Tapeaters released their debut album ‘Visions’, consisting of 13 tracks.
The Tapeaters are working on their second LP.

    Französisch eleganter Synthpop mit Eighties-Anleihen wie Tears for Fears und ein bisschen Funk à la Stevie Wonder. Damit haben wir auch schon diejenigen angegeben, die die Tapeaters als ihre Einflüsse angeben. Seit 2009 existiert das dynamische Duo, das bereits mit Autokratz und Pantha Du Prince auf einer Bühne stand. Im September letzten Jahres veröffentlichten die “Kasetten-Esser” (siehe Bild) ihren ersten Longplayer namens Visions. Ihre Spezialität sind schmatzige, satte Analog-Sounds, mit leichten Disco-Anleihen und glockenklaren Vocals à la A-ha. Dass die Jungs Vadim Puchov und Dmitrij Kozlov heißen und aus einem Ort namens Niznyj Novgorod stammen, würde man bei den Liedern nicht denken. Tapeaters hat also nichts mit dem gefürchteten Hupfdohlen-Osteuropa-Pop à la Eurovision Song Contest zu tun. Ich würde sie eher in Richtung “Junior Boys” oder “Zoot Woman” einordnen.

    Aber jetzt viel Spaß mit “Keep on Dancing”, dem Debüt der beiden. Auf der Tapeaters-Seite auf Soundcloud findet außerdem weitere durchweg hörenswerte Songs. Übrigens: Falls ihr denkt, ihr habt hörenswerte Musik, könnt ihr diese direkt von eurem virtuellen Tonstudio im Music Maker oder Samplitude Music Studio auf Soundcloud hochladen.

Memories fade

"Memories fade but the scars still linger, I cannot grow, I cannot move, I cannot fell my age, The vice like grip of tension holds me fast, Engulfed by you, What can I do, When history’s my cage... Look foward to a future in the past".
