Description

Off-kilter electronic keyboards, no-name knock off drum machines,  barely-there basslines and whaling over the top vocals collide in "Lost Asian Cassettes: SynthPop and HairRock". Found in back alley street markets, railroad track meetups and vacant bookshop storerooms, this collection of cassette tapes from the 1980s and 90s comes from one of the most unlikely places: China's Mainland. Compiled by Nathan Womack 2017-2019 as part of his ongoing exploration and presentation of the lesser known parts of Asian music: DigginEast. Photography by Nathan Womack, Audio Mastered by Matt Sawicki at Suburban Pro Studios. 亚洲盒式磁带流行
