I was interested in a startup in the cassette industry - No major research or anything, just a weekend idea I had once upon a time. Where does one find and market to the cassette fanbase?
- MrJagil 11y agoUgh, good question. First of all, here in Europe everyone I know either order blanks from http://www.shop-016.de/shop-audioservice.htm http://www.shop-016.de/shop-audioservice.htm or https://tapeline.info/ https://tapeline.info/ or overwrite a bunch of second-hand tapes themselves. It takes dedication to into the tape market but I can point you in three directions. 1. The ambient scene: http://fangsandarrows.com/ http://fangsandarrows.com/ was a great community, similar to HN crowd. Serious people. Not sure if it's down for good, here's their bandcamp: https://fangsandarrows.bandcamp.com/ https://fangsandarrows.bandcamp.com/ 2. Vaporwave: If you don't know it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporwave https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporwave here's a label https://dreamcatalogue.bandcamp.com/ https://dreamcatalogue.bandcamp.com/ 3. Post-punk / post rock / synth pop (the dark stuff like John Maus) etc. Concrete basement shows etc.
- Nilef 11y agoThanks for the info, that's really interesting stuff. Do you mind if I email you a couple more questions?
- MrJagil 11y agoof course not, I answered some stuff above as well :) And lastly, I just learned it's getting big in the techno scene. It's immensely hard to DJ with tapes though, so I'm pretty sure that's not the reason. https://opaltapes.bandcamp.com/ https://opaltapes.bandcamp.com/ is a great label (I really like Huerco S. and Basic House)
