A few months ago, the term cassette tape was taken out of the Oxford English Dictionary… As recorded sound continues its love affair with the mp3, the tangible object is quickly going the way of the dinosaur… But in a community born of children who grew up with the format, like myself, the cassette has experienced a quiet comeback over the last few years, as independent labels issuing tape-only releases have begun popping up around the world.
Zack Taylor and Seth Smoot have been creating CASSETTE: A Documentary, a film that celebrates the love for the A Side, the B Side, the mixtape, and the whole of cassette culture by taking a look at all parts of popular culture influenced by the cassette, including hip-hop and B-Boy culture, indie rock, home recording, and beyond. Check the trailer below and if you like what you see help the boys finish the film over at Kickstarter.
