They generate millions of streams across the usual platforms and have shared the stage with some of the great pop and jazz artists around the world even playing for presidents! Tape Five’s songs are heard in adverts, TV and film and appear on more than a 1000 compilations worldwide. In 2010 they became renowned as the “pioneers of Electroswing”. TAPE FIVE had already navigated their way through many facets of vintage/retro music since the foundation in 2004 by master-mind Martin Strathausen. For two decades TAPE FIVE have thrived on a mixture of beats using the means of modern times, but song structures, stories, atmospheres, arrangements and live musicians are all inspired from days gone by, when enthusiasm for music boomed and musical individualism was paramount.”
