Family Tapes

Family Tapes is an independent recording project based in Brooklyn, NYC, USA. Created by NYC producer and multi-instrumentalist Sun Cut Flat in 2020 as a side-project, FT has highlighted an eclectic mix of contributing artists. The name comes from the nostalgic feeling of opening a box of long-lost VHS cassettes, conjuring static filled memories of loved ones, family, and friends. F.T. has explored the diverse sonic spaces of bedroom indiepop, 60's soul, and most recently 90's inspired golden-era boom bap/ conscious rap. Artists featured include Atlanta's stephenxjones , NYC's Katherine Ocampo of Lulada Club, Florida soul-singer Christiana Ramirez, NYC artists Mistah Levy, Uncle Willy Son, and Deli The Indelible, German musician Phillip Dornbuschs Projektor, CT producer eastend.zulu. Following up the cherished three-vol. series Hip Hop Sovereignty, Vol. 3 , FT released the 15-track album Nico in early 2026. The album is anchored by the surprising success of Groundskeeper To The Shrine , an ode to the golden era of hip hop, teeming with creativity throughout. On 9/4/26, Family Tapes released "IBS (Incendiary Blanket Statement)", a triumphant 13-track album featuring Homeboy Sandman, Declaime and more. Vinyl coming soon! http://famtapes.com
